Synopsis
Tycotic and Asylum Fifty Seven deliver "Captured Rap" in a performance-focused video filmed after dark around Ettalong on Australia's Central Coast. The clip gathers the two acts alongside a broad local hip-hop lineup, using close-up rap performances, handheld movement, and a gritty nighttime atmosphere to match the track's raw energy. The video builds toward a final visual-effects moment, so the closing shot is part of its intended payoff rather than a simple end credit.
Factoids & Trivia
- The entire video was shot in one night at Ettalong on the Central Coast.
- The production used a Canon HV20 camera together with an SGPro adapter. A Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens was used throughout the shoot.
- The footage was edited entirely in Sony Vegas, including the visual-effects shot at the end.
- The final effect created an encoding problem during the original workflow. MP4 produced blocky artifacts in the detailed closing image, so the video was rendered in WMV9 instead.
- The clip features Xrsize, Rorks Drift, Shan One, Collective Crew, Prem Bedlam, Fowl Mouth, Smokey Desperado, Wimes, Dirt-E-Kent, Kaydeezo, and Asylum Fifty Seven in addition to Tycotic.
- "Captured Rap" was associated with Tycotic's album "Conversation Domination," released through the Australian label Unda K9.
