Star Wars: Palpatine Trailer
“Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design.”
“End of an Empire” by Celldweller + Final Fantasy XIV
A start, an end, a rise and fall No system eternal and no one immortal Creation all must end in destruction We cannot change the fate of civilization
“New World Order” by Two Steps from Hell + Prototype
I’m the reason for all of this. They call me a killer, a monster, a terrorist. I’m all of these things. This was an exercise in immediacy. Some videos take me several hours, some take many days, and some take weeks. This one only took a few hours. Two Steps from Hell uploaded this song […]
Wait and Bleed + Project Overdrive
Is it a dream or a memory? This has been my go-to Slipknot song for the past 17 years, so I really wanted to find a video for it. After testing out a few random others, I stumbled upon this one from Riot Games. Though the song wasn’t written with this concept in mind, some […]
“Enigma Machine” by Dream Theater + TIE Fighter

“ShutEmDown” by Celldweller + “Angel Stone” from Fincon

The sudden changes in speed and perspective beg for a song that changes so drastically, which is one of the strengths of dubstep-style music. Plus, this kind of song seems pretty appropriate to highlight […]
Vegas X Story
Every aspect of human technology has a dark side, including the bow and arrow. I mixed this together last night. Some videos and songs seem like they were meant for each other, and these two definitely fall into that category. The story mostly takes place outside of a city that resembles a futuristic Las Vegas, […]
