Process

• Speedom: was created from scratch, synchronizing color to change on the background and the “T9” text; along with synced flashes over hand-selected footage

• Blackboy: This song was the first of the “Dark Medley” which I used Kansas City skyline footage with a custom processing chain to create a glowing black and white effect, cutting between different footage

• K.O.D.: I cut together a stylized look featuring a dark ominous forest which I turned black and white, then colored the whole image red to give the footage a black and red look. I synchronized cuts to the beat and animated “K.O.D.” on screen to look like it’s alive and floating on screen. I also added synchronized flashes to the beat to emphasize certain hits.

• Demons: I used the same glowing red processing chain to keep in theme with the dark medley. I took footage of an infinite chain loop, a glowing vortex, and synchronized flashes.

• In The Trunk: Being part of the dark medley, I used the same custom processing chain over footage of long-exposure video of cars driving, which makes the footage glowing red and black with long streaks of light. I then hand-selected blocky text featuring lyrics of the song to come on screen synchronized with the music.

• MMM (Michael Myers Mask): Still part of the dark medley, I kept the same custom processing chain of glowing black and red over footage of a crime scene where a Michael Myers character is burying his victim.

• Alucard: The second to last song of the dark medley, I used the same custom processing chain over footage of a church and a church organ to help visualize the environment of the instruments in the song.

• Paint A Dark Picture: Last of the Dark Medley, I used the same custom processing chain over footage of hands reaching out, grasping for stability, then cutting to an infinite loop of a dark infinite stone hallway.

• Let’s Get F***ed (Crunked) Up: Being an older song of Tech N9ne, I featured a film effect giving a vintage and classic feel over footage of a club environment (Record players, dance clubs, and disco balls). I then layered synchronized lyrics with a “difference” blend mode on the text, which inverts the color of the footage, making the words pop on screen while seeing the original video.

• Mitchell Bade: For this quick song, I used custom color processing on light bars with synchronized flashes for impact.

• Questions: This being another older track of Tech N9ne, I wanted to feature cassette tapes. The hook features a call and response of chopping and a slow “why”. For the slow part, I featured a single shot of a cassette rolling its tape, and for the fast chopping, I featured quick cuts to emphasize the quickness of his rapping.

• Tell Everyone: For this song, I layered synchronized “Tell Everyone” text over rotating skulls on top of a background textured with fast frames of crumpled paper. I also cut to a variety of skulls to keep things interesting and exciting.

• It’s Alive: This track is from the newly remastered album Anghellic. This song felt electric so I created these visuals from scratch in After Effects and used the red glowing effect on top of it to keep in theme with the performance.
