While the song is not something you associate with the genre or the game, I feel in the video that it upholds the emotion of the experience and the mystifying instruments complement the fantasy of this other world. It is my most recently completed editing work.

——-

My attempt at creating a music video for Final Fantasy VIII using it’s theme song that features during the game’s ending. My aim was to juxtapose the wormhole clips and use it as a subtle transitory effect at various point throughout the video to visually strengthen the game’s theme of ‘time compression’. While this video demonstrates rather overt editing techniques it also demonstrates subtle techniques that could go unnoticed.

——-

This was an experimental video in that I tried new techniques with familiar content to help express the theme of ‘dreams’. These experimental effects included flickering brightness, repetitive clips and cuts and subtle usage of filters. As the music ends, the video ‘wakes up’ into reality. I also feel this is my strongest video using this particular footage.

Soundtrack: Freak Like Me (Extended Remix); Sugababes

——-

This video was originally intended as a kind of musical celebration of the Tekken video game series, however it doubles as a kind of trailer, recap or hype generator for the yet to be released Tekken 6 (at the time), as the video covers the storyline up to that point and ends with a kind of ‘cliff-hanger’. It demonstrates my unusual choice of soundtrack which while unexpected, works well.

The video acts as a kind of musical summary or possibly advertisement of the action film series. It demonstrates my ability to complement the music with appropriate footage and vice versa, with gratuitous timing and lyrical association.

I remixed the official video to suit an extended remix of the track. The concept was time moving backwards and forwards, or going ‘round round’.

——-

This video was an attempt at creating a music video for an unreleased track by the pop group ‘Sugababes’, using footage from existing releases at the time. I feel it’s distinct enough in style and content to warrant a place in my portfolio.

I used the introductory theme of the series’ first instalment ’Soul Blade’ (Soul Edge) and recreated the intro’ using footage from the current instalment at the time, ‘Soul Calibur III’. The video doubles as a kind of trailer and shows off my skills with timing.

This video was made for someone who requested it of me on youtube. The client was very pleased with the outcome and I think it demonstrates to a degree my ability to work well to standards set by others while maintaining my own style.
