This is NuContexts first project since partnering with Rockhard, representing the company's Directors in the promo and branded content arena, explains NuContext's Angela Guice. Rockhard has one of the most respected Directorial rosters in the music video industry. As television promotion gets more and more sophisticated and brand strategic, we were inspired to join forces and bring their talents to the attention of our loyal clients, as well as new clients that we have yet to collaborate with.
As a premiere project of the NuContext-Rockhard partnership, the Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce promo campaign for the launch of Season 2 found Fuse asking NuContext to develop a concept that would capture the larger than life personality of Freedia, and also reflect the character and influence of the city of New Orleans which serves as the prominent backdrop for the series, details Guice. In addition to producing the on-air campaign, Fuse also tasked us with producing the key art photography day with world class A-list photographer, Art Streiber.
The NuContext team worked closely with Fuse's team and Director, Robert Hales to develop a concept that would put Freedia and the cast of characters from the show in a typical, but very Freedia, New Orleans Second Line. Robert and I really wanted to capture the REAL New Orleans, and steer clear of the Disneyland version of New Orleans like the French Quarter, outlines Guice. It was important to all of those involved, including Freedia, that we shoot in a real New Orleans neighborhood so we decided on the Trem .
Robert wanted the piece to be very cinematic and bold, adds DP Todd Banhazl. We wanted to capture the textures of New Orleans; the passion and energy of Big Freedia and her crew. We used old Kowa Anamorphic lenses and used big lights to make Freedia pop like the star she is against the rich overcast New Orleans streets.
Hales worked with Freedia on developing the look of the costumes, which were made by Freedias Uncle Percy (who makes all her costumes for her shows) and Hales's own costume designer of choice. They shot still photos with Art Streiber on the 1st Day, and then live-action on the 2nd Day. Post-production was all handled in Los Angeles at the NuContext Creative studio.
Nicole Acacio, Executive Producer for Rockhard concludes: I am thrilled with the idea of working in tandem with NuContext. They are a perfect partner for this venture with our Directors at Rockhard. It is a new arena of work for our Directors. Two like-minded companies coming together can only produce one great outcome.
