“Machine Dreams” by Two Steps from Hell + Project Overdrive
“It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity.” ~Philip K. Dick Imagine waking up to find yourself in a body that isn’t yours, a body that isn’t a body at all. You wake to find yourself inside the shell of a powerful machine. It’s a weapon, and it…

“Victory” (Anthology Mix) by Two Steps From Hell + Horizon Zero Dawn
I’ve been looking for a video to set to this song for more than a year, but I wasn’t able to find the right one until now. I’m still on the fence about whether it works, but I have a feeling another injection of new imagery could make this video all I hope it can…
-
“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

Unlocked: The World of Games, Revealed
I was born into a family that owned an arcade, so some of my first memories were playing Ms. Pac Man and Track and Field. I was 7 when the Nintendo Entertainment System was released. So I’ve been an active gamer for longer than Millennials have existed. Unlocked: The World of Games, Revealed is a…

“His Brightest Star Was You” by Two Steps from Hell + Tomb Raider
Before she became a tomb raider, Lara Croft had to learn how to survive. This short but compelling vignette is based on the trailer for 2013 game Tomb Raider and features music by Two Steps from Hell. This version is the first draft, so it’s not quite perfect yet. I need to finish putting the…

“High C’s” by Two Steps from Hell + Neverwinter [DEMO]
Please note: This is an incomplete rough draft. First of all, I officially nominate Two Steps from Hell‘s “High C’s” from the album Vanquish for song of the year. Words like “epic” get thrown around far too often, but artistic works like this one truly define the concept. From the roaring horns to the soaring…
-
“Inferni” by Two Steps from Hell + Hellblade
Two Steps from Hell recently released another album, and it continues the tradition of truly magnificent scores of the past several years. Though the album landed in the final month of 2016, I’d say that “High C’s” is probably the lead contender for song of the year. But more on that later. For now, take…

Capcom’s Umbrella Corps – Retail Kiosk Trailer
Capcom hired Mediajuice to edit and remix three great trailers for Umbrella Corps into a single epic trailer. This was the result. It was going to be shown in toy stores, so it had to be rated E. Making a trailer for a first-person zombie-slaying competitive shooter isn’t easy when you have to keep it…

“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…

“Blood, Milk, and Sky” by White Zombie + Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Assassin’s Creed + Rob Zombie + Tony Moore + White Zombie + Charlie Clouser
This video was based on a short film that Rob Zombie created for Assassin’s Creed Unity, a video game that focuses on the French revolution. I combined it with a White Zombie remix by Charlie Clouser for obvious reasons. You almost forget the two weren’t made for each other. audio: “El Phantasmo and the Chicken-Run…

“The Outsider” by A Perfect Circle + Dishonored [DEMO]
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…

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