“Chase the Light” by Two Steps from Hell + Sucker Punch
This fight sequence from the movie Sucker Punch is perfectly over the top. Three twelve-foot-tall samurai battle against one young woman. Spoiler alert: she wins. If you’re not familiar with the premise of the movie, this fantasy world is a mental construct of the main character’s mind. She’s able to deal with seemingly insurmountable odds…

“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 audio: “End of an Empire” by Celldweller video: “Flames of Truth” from Final Fantasy XIV

“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
I suppose it was inevitable that I’d mix two of my favorite things together. This brilliant animated short film by Paul “Otaking” Johnson features an animation style reminiscent of cartoons from the 80’s and 90’s. It’s an homage to the TIE Fighter video game from 1994. I set it to Dream Theater because their music…

“Promise” by Thomas Bergersen + “The Last Day of War” from Dima Fedotov
The only unbreakable promise of war is that one day it will end. I truly love this one. The music is uplifting and hopeful even though the video doesn’t appear to be. But this isn’t a celebration of the death of humanity as much as the rebirth of the old world, fulfilling the promise that…

“ShutEmDown” by Celldweller + “Angel Stone” from Fincon
I’ve already used this video before, but the music was distinctly different. After I found this Celldweller track, I couldn’t resist. 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…

“Duality” by Slipknot + “Out of the Woods” by Taylor Swift
I’m not sure what inspired this, but once the idea was in my head, I had to try it out. After a couple of hours of editing, it suddenly became apparent that the concept could work. I keep coming back to it, tweaking it, then quietly replacing the older versions online. (Like I do with…

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,…

Uki Uki Food Fight (“Uki Uki Midnight” by Babymetal + epic food fight scene from RWBY)
This is probably the most epic food fight you’ll ever see. It’s made of Rooster Teeth’s RWBY set to Babymetal’s “Uki Uki Midnight.”

“Comeback Kid” by Sleigh Bells + RWBY Black Trailer
Sometimes even a first draft is worth sharing. The challenge now is to figure out how to make it look like Blake Belladonna is singing the lyrics sung by Alexis Krauss. audio: “Comeback Kid” by Sleigh Bells video: RWBY “Black” Trailer

Early Warning Signs of Fascism (Annotated)
In the US Holocaust Museum. I'm shook. pic.twitter.com/EeuHEXWusE — Sarah Rose (@RaRaVibes) January 30, 2017 Someone recently shared this tweet from the US Holocaust Museum, and it has some pretty insightful things to say about fascism. Many people throw that word around when they want to decry something they see as unnecessary, so it’s important…
