It's been crazy seeing the hype of this game continue so far after it's monsterous release two weeks ago. There was so much excitement and it's so refreshing to continue to see more covers, fan arts, and everything in a time where it seems like the general video game audience has such a short attention span for games these days. I had such a fun time seeing just how fast I could churn out a cover of Attack of the Killer Queen after the game released, but this time I really wanted to go all out.
I originally had the thought to just do the vocals myself, but I was stressed because I had to leave this week to LA to do some video stuff with Alpharad. Adriana had the idea of how cool it would be to have him actually do the lines and I thought it really fit super well. I completed the entire song instrumental and filmed my sections at home, and then we found a set to film at in LA after I recorded his vocals and glitch edited and packaged the final song together on his kitchen table.
We had an INSANE amount of snags though. Not only did we end up arriving to the shoot space an hour and half late, (leaving us about 20 minutes to get ALL of the warehouse shots you see), but when I tried to pack up and leave in a hurry, I twisted my knee and leg really bad. Then once I moved over the files to my laptop, they all inexpicably disappered without any prompts or anything after I begun editing the video. I spent the next 48 hours recovering the files from the SD card using various storage recovery programs and could only retrieve about half of the footage we got. Jacob also ripped his pants during this shoot and I did capture it, but it was unfortunately lost. I honestly can't believe this video made it in time, but we're all very proud of it and hope you enjoy!
I did end up doing… some of the vocals if you listen closely!
