It’s finally live, folks and it is f*cking sick – check out Navi‘s new video for “L.A.S.E.R.” and “GILGAMESH” via the awesome folks at Good Day RVA.

We caught up with the folks at Good Day a few weeks back and they gave us some sweet insight into the creation of the video:

For their newest video, GDRVA filmed Navi at the old Flood Zone/Have a Nice Day Café building, which they say will probably be the last musical performance to be held at that site. They filmed three takes of the band playing two of their songs all the way through.

“It was really gritty and mysterious in there,” said Tommy Terrell, who has been with Good Day since filming White Laces back in June of 2013.

Each of their live videos also includes some sort of visual motif. With Navi’s, it’s glass. They used dirty mirrors, broken CDs, and disco balls, all of which were found objects from the scene.

Navi’s shoot was long awaited, as the videographers had wanted to film them since the first time they saw the band perform. Good Day said the band’s high energy on set was distracting for all ten of their cameras – in a good way. “Afterwards, a few of us claimed to be so into their performance and the environment that we would get distracted from what we were shooting at times.”
