What the project needed.
Give Nightshades a controlled studio environment for multiple music-video pieces while keeping the stage, gear, crew movement and production schedule practical inside the old KFS space.
What had to work.
The project needed a black-box performance world, controlled lighting, haze, camera movement, band coverage and enough physical infrastructure to make several related videos feel intentional rather than improvised.
How KFS handled it.
KFS provided stage access, equipment, crew coordination and production oversight. Harrison Mendel photographed the band inside the former studio's black-box performance space.
What came out of it.
The collaboration produced four released videos and local press coverage, all filmed with the band inside the former KFS stage.
