Nadia Reid - Best Thing - Music Video
Description :
Official music video for Nadia Reid’s single ‘Best Thing’, via Slow Time Records and Spacebomb Records.
Shot on rare Kodak 7222 16mm black and white film on location in Dunedin, New Zealand, ‘Best Thing’ is a song about relationships, childhood, memories and the love between a mother and a daughter. When Nadia approached me with this track, I knew immediately I wanted to shoot on film as it feels immediately nostalgic. I drew inspiration from surrealist artists and photographers and filmmakers such as Ingmar Bergman to create a film rich with dream-like imagery and cinematography beautifully captured by Timothy Flower. The isolation of Dunedin provided the perfect nostalgic backdrop and was particularly significant for Nadia as this is her hometown. Shooting on film provided many challenges, particularly as nowhere in New Zealand supplied or processed this particular type of film, meaning we needed to source from and send back to Los Angeles for processing.
