In anticipation of the next installment of Rooster Teeth’s RWBY, I started playing with different songs to see if I could make anything work. Not surprisingly, it’s rife with powerful visuals that can tell a story and get a point across in as few frames as possible. So it all works great together. I used […]
“Illusions” by Thomas Bergersen + Knights of the Eternal Throne
A short film about the power of love and power itself, set in a galaxy far, far away. This is arguably one of the best stories in the entire Star Wars universe, and it only takes seven minutes to tell.
“Reborn” by Thomas Bergersen + Recore
But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way. This is a short and charming vignette about a girl and her companion. Also, robots.
“Flight of the Silverbird” by Two Steps from Hell + Halo 5 Guardians
Prepare to fall out of the sky. The opening cinematic to Halo 5 Guardians is one of the most intense beginnings I’ve seen in video game, and “Flight of the Silverbird” by Two Steps from Hell feels like it was written for it. The slow opening allows for light dialogue to set the stage, then […]
“Confrontation” by OT3P + StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void
Here’s your introduction to destruction…
“None Shall Live” by Two Steps from Hell + Assassin’s Creed Unity
A story like Romeo and Juliet, except they kill anyone standing in their way. I’ve been a fan of the Assassin’s Creed series for a long time, though I didn’t actually play them until the third or fourth had been released. After hearing Patrice Desiléts give his account of the franchise’s birth, I love the […]
“Cry” by Thomas Bergersen + Detroit: Become Human
Deep inside me, I could feel something different, a gentle and warm whisper telling me that I am…alive. Today, my muse was an android. This video was created using the song “Cry” by Thomas Bergersen and the teaser trailer for Detroit: Become Human by Quantic Dream. I wasn’t aware of this game until I went […]
“Dragonland” by Thomas Bergersen + Destiny: The Taken King
This is a new kind of dragon. This is the fourth music video I’ve created from this one album. I think I might be obsessed.
“Strength of a Thousand Men” by Two Steps from Hell + Asura Online
This is (among other things) an attempt to use musical themes to represent certain factions, a la John Williams. The heroic main theme represents the humans, and it makes multiple appearances each time they come on screen. But if you listen closely you can hear that not all is well with this particular group of […]
