Beastie Boys Intergalactic Video Shoot Queens NY 1998

Video I shot on the set, Yauch approved, even used my camera to frame up some shots of history being made! Lucky enough to be there working close to these guys who changed my world in 1986 when I saw them at the Ritz NYC! Quite a day which started at 5am on 14th St waiting for the PA's to show up and head over to Queens when in the distance comes a shadowy figure skating up..." This the Van "...It was Yauch! Couldn't believe it! He got in with the rest of us I put the MMM Rescue 911 tape on and we rolled out bumping...I'll never forget that ride and what a cool dude Adam was...Saw him twice more, once at a Deli NYC with his wife and he remembered me and of course at a Bad/Soul Brains show Irving Plaza when HR was Frozen! Thank You B-Boys

[@aottimo]

Your welcome! Finally off the Hi-8 tape and cemented to the net forever! Glad I had my camera that day! True inspiration. ✌️

Thank you!!

[@cosmobuszard]

Thank you!

[@komi-origami]

That’s literally a piece of the music history right here. Thanks a lot for sharing

[@HonkeyKong54]

I love these miniature sets that are rare to see in any media today. The miniature city's they built for blade runner and the fifth element are absolutely insane.

[@jennchycoski7455]

Agree 100%! I watched a behind the scenes video on the set building of LA from Blade Runner 2049 recently. So cool. Those spinner POV scenes from Blade Runner and the sequel will always be my favourite scenes from the movies.

“The Young Ones” T-Shirt 👌🏿

[@Lili.Lobotomy]

I'm very moved by this behind the scenes look thank you so much for sharing it with the world.

[@aottimo]

Thanks! Special to me for sure...Didn’t want to just give to the internet so it’s been unseen for 20 plus years and aged like wine it was time...

[@luispiros]

Funny thing is, The Beasties never age, because they’re timeless.

[@dawhoda1]

​@@aottimoglad you finally unleashed this gem, you the man. Must of been so cool to be there around Adam etc

[@EricRosemusic]

Just to watch Yauch working was well worth the 20 mins!!!! Thank you!

​@dcsmooth Nice! Never knew that. Rock Steady crew still around?

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

This is epic. Thank you for sharing this. I've loved the BB's since I was ten back in '84 when I first heard my cousin playing License to Ill on his turntables. RIP MCA!

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Brilliant video and made me smile as May 14th is my birthday. Thanks for posting. Miss the Beastie Boys so much.

[@TitoMariategui]

You’ve made my day with this. Iconic shit. Thank you!

[@skanehardcore-datillnu1307]

Wow! Absolutely amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@ndowroccus4168]

That was cool, I love how much production was put into it, but made to look like it was made on a “Godzilla from Japan, 1970” budget!!! Just incredible details, I remember the movies on Saturday morning creature double feature….Japanese monster movies…

[@sombratriste8461]

Gracias por subir esta joya filmica para los que extrañamos a los beastie boys en el escenario !!

[@psak1000]

And the cameraman is wearing a The Young Ones t-shirt!..

[@cactaceous]

I kept wondering where he got that. Cool shit.

[@ComfortsSpecter]

Amazing Work Thank You for This Great History

[@Enshohma]

I'm a massive kaiju / giant monster nerd and secondary music fan with the Beastie Boys' latter era works among my favorites: this footage is an amazing insight to what is arguably the greatest giant monster-inspired music video in film history and I, like many others here, thank you for sharing.

[@ndnd2023]

This is brilliant. Thx for uploading.

[@melaniecolgin3705]

This is great, really enjoyed it...

[@jasonc1975]

[@brynnduncan3510]

THANKS FOR SHARING AHHHH

[@paulb808]

Wow thanks for sharing!

[@montgomerymiller6159]

What a great homage to the Japanese monster movies in lieu of the fact that some of the video was filmed in Japan. The Japanese are great model builders that made the sets for those movies, a genre I've always loved. Fantastic behind the scenes footage and amazing model builders in their own right.

[@anthonyv6962]

This is so cool thanks.

[@soccerboy22100]

love that one guys young ones t shirt...

[@JuhaAuvinen]

Gotta appreciate the Young Ones t-shirt on the camera man

[@haleyraeaviation]

thank you. i now have the comfort of knowing that all this time, the man behind the camera was wearing a young ones tshirt :)

[@dawhoda1]

For a nerd looking dude, he really perfected doing the robot in that robot suit 🎬🤖🎚🎛

[@clintonherrick537]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Do you remember where abouts in Queens the sound stage was? Looks like south queens, LIC area based on the opening shot of the empire state building.

[@aottimo]

Yeah LIC...Not Broadway Stages thou. Can't actually remember the name. Only shot there once...Might have the call sheet floating around...Thanks for checking it out!

[@kaitlynecarey]

[@focalized]

OMG they had a lot of money.

[@viaromabandit5051]

definitely not nearly enough pop-locking from the robot in the vid

[@rl5895]

I did not know how the "Intergalactic Planetary" was said and how did the robot make that voice?

[@paullamb9366]

Yes what! How am I just finding this now. We need a Party for your right to fight bloopers or is there one?

[@douglasbarthon7994]

robot x monster : Constructors os Ludic X Video Deconstructor of Ludic !

[@djinnmagik4817]

Is that Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the end of the video with his frosty blonde hair?

[@evolgoo1]

wow making music videos looks so fun :|

[@dawhoda1]

So fuckin sad how you see Adams weight loss.

[@2koolken]

“Mario C. likes to keep it clean Gonna shine like a sunbeam Keep on rappin', 'cause that's my dream Thank Moe Dee for 'Sticking to Themes'” Just saying...or rapping. Now let's go from #intergalacticplanetary to time traveling. 1998! 20th century!! You newborn, what's a Google, I miss my training wheels, Similac drinking, Gerber eating SUCKAS.😝

[@Paul-dw2cl]

just curious, what do you mean HR was Frozen ?

[@mariohnyc]

This was shot at Silvercup ?

[@aottimo]

Wasn’t shot at Silver Cup or Broadway Stages…only been to it for this shoot so can’t remember…probably got the call sheet buried with the name somewhere thou.

[@mariohnyc]

@@aottimo interesting, thanks for letting me know ! cheers.

[@devilforkedentertainmentro6740]
