2021 has been challenging but also a year full of surprises. With Covid-19 raging across the globe, disrupting video production workflows, Rocket House Pictures managed to produce a plethora of projects for a very diverse clientele. One of those clients is Estella Dawn, New Zealand born, US based songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. She is a hardworking musician, releasing 3 music videos this year. All three were produced by Rocket House Pictures in conjunction with her label Purple Star Productions.
TROLLS - Release date April 1st 2021
Filmed at Fort Greene Bar, under strict covid-19 protocols, TROLLS definitely had a title that grabbed our attention. Built off the concepts of online bulling, the song is about online trolls who really just insert unwanted opinions everywhere. With her insane vocals, there is also a seductive mystery and power behind this track.
