Shooting Yankee Stadium
Part of the video was shot during Justin’s live performance of "Take Back The Night" during the first of his two Yankee Stadium shows on July 19th.

Cameras
Fun Fact: There were 12 cameras on him during this scene, including a Stedicam on stage that captured this shot, and a helicopter flying above Yankee Stadium!

The Crowd
In this first exclusive still from the video, Justin is pictured performing LIVE in front of 47,000 eager New Yorkers.

Stipple
Another shot of the audience to give you perspective of the size of crowd!


Summer Nights!
The video was shot on one of the hottest days of the summer. Temperatures reached 99 degrees with close to 100% humidity, and even hotter on set under the lights!

Car
Another sneak peek from Justin’s new "Take Back The Night" video... The car in this shot is a 1970 Chevelle SS, one of Justin's favorite classic American cars.

Doyers Street
Much of the video was shot on Doyers St in New York City’s Chinatown, which is home to the oldest dim sum restaurant in the US (where Justin ate a meal on set), the first Chinese Theatre in NYC, and is also filled with amazing history.

Noodle Shop = Bodega!
This location was really a noodle shop that we converted into a bodega for the shoot! It was named Yee's Place after the video's Director Of Photography's dad's restaurant in Harrisonburg, VA.


So hot!
We already mentioned how hot it was outside, and even with the AC on full blast, it was even hotter inside the club with all of the lights, bodies and amazing energy we packed into the room! Close to 102 degrees at times!

Timing
Even though this scene doesn't happen until about halfway through the video, it was the first thing that was filmed on the shoot day. We needed the shots outside to happen at night, so this was actually filmed at about 3pm in the afternoon!

Apotheke
This is a scene from club Apotheke – an exclusive speakeasy-style cocktail bar in Chinatown on Doyers St with arguably some of the best drinks and bartenders in the city.
