Google Voice is a free telephone service that does practically everything your current provider does, like make phone calls, receive voicemails, and send texts. But it’s so much more than that. Like many people, I’ve had the same phone number for so long that I can only estimate when I first got it. There’s a…

This is just a first draft. It was mostly just a test and a learning experience. It was one of the first music videos I ever edited, and it was also the first time I tried using a metal song. audio: “The Outsider” by A Perfect Circle video: Dishonored 2 – Official E3 2015 Announce…

What you need to know about The Force Awakens: it was totally worth the wait and you need to see it before the Internet ruins it for you.

“Rada” by Thomas Bergersen + Star Wars: Knights of the Fallen Empire

Dec 9, 2015

by

The original version of this video is incredibly powerful. Set to layered imagery and well-crafted voiceover, this is the kind of Star Wars story everyone wants to see. I wanted to try setting it to music for a few reasons: it has visual themes that both imitate and contradict with Star Wars canon, it’s a…

“Cry” by Thomas Bergersen + Detroit: Become Human

Oct 31, 2015

by

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…

“Our Destiny” by Thomas Bergersen + Ender’s Game

“The way we win matters.” One thing I’ve learned from obsession is that there’s a fine line between a blessing and a curse. When I first created this video, I had no idea I’d spend the next few years of my life doing dozens more like it. Just like Ender. audio: “Our Destiny” by Thomas…

This is what happens when I can’t sleep because a gorgeous song and mesmerizing video are floating around in my mind. I have been obsessed with Thomas Bergersen’s album Sun, which came out exactly one year before I discovered it. And I have always considered Ron Fricke’s Baraka as one of my all-time favorite films.…

At the time I decided to create this video, it was during the lead-up to the 2015 League of Legends World Championship. The previous year’s tournament had a music video and theme song that was really memorable. This year, for some reason, they had a theme song but no video for it. So made one.…

The tragic fall of Shurima was nothing compared to the tragedy of its rise from the grave. This was my very first mashterpiece, which has been a hobby* of mine for the past few years. At the time, I was just immersed in League of Legends because we were traveling around with Strawburry17 for our…
