The Hanging Tree: The Hunger Games Tribute

WARNING: Massive SPOILERS for the entire Hunger Games franchise.
I know, it's SO INVENTIVE to use movie's soundtrack to make a music video for the same movie, but god dammit, The Hanging Tree is just too damn good. Ever since the The Catching Fire came out i became a massive The Hunger Games enthusiast and i wanted to make a farewell tribute using the entire series, so this song, while an obvious choice, still a perfect one.
The Hunger Games series is really good. It's layered, epic and so damn smart. That goes for both books and movies. Yeah, splitting Mockingjay into two parts was a mistake, but even then, i just can't ignore all the thought, talent and detail that went into adaptation. And nobody should. Here's my tribute that celebrates all of it, as well as beloved characters and epic story of a rebellion with a bittersweet ending.
The way this video is made is (at least for me) is unconventional. I don't think i've ever worked with music like this, but i like to challenge myself. It was also difficult to combine the styles of all three (four?) movies together. The first one has shaky and gritty aesthetics, the second one is very bright and visionary, the last one is bleak and apocalyptic. I'm very curious to know what you think of my work, i'll appreciate any opinion, thank you.

I love how they use the fact that a simple song gives people enough strength to fight a battle that seems impossible, a battle that their not fighting for themselves but for the children and future

I think it was a good idea to split Mockingjay because if they didn't they would have had to leave out more stuff and there was so much going on in the book.

After reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes this song hits me on a whole new level 😭

[ashleygugter]

Why is this not more popular? My god, this should be the trailer for the actual series!

[Chubby_Runs]

The district 11 revolt in the first movie is easily the best thing the movies added to the story, not only is it a powerful scene but it also contributes to overplot and adds more intensity to what happens there in catching fire

Great tribute with an explosive ending.

[centperk]

Just wanted to say thank you to everybody who discovered this video in the past year or so, your comments and likes mean a lot to me!

Reread all the books, and this killed me inside💔

That opening about hope being stronger than fear reminds me of a line from Avatar where Mei says she loves Zuko more than she fears Azula.

Completely random I know but ties nicely that there’s always something that’s capable of being stronger than fear and hate

[joybowerman]

I absolutely love how you built up to that breaking point. Chills

Chills everywhere!

Why isn’t this tribute more popular? This is so cool! I love it so much and it gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your editing talents :)

After reading Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes this song is so much more interesting. Especially since I know how much it grates on Snow 🙃

[neilfoster]

I. Cannot. Begin. To. Explain. How. Amazing. This. Is!

[hawkman]

This song has so much more meaning after the ballad of songbirds and snakes

[emraldrose]

This hits different after watching the prequel and hearing Lucy Gray's original version of the song. SHE COMPOSED THIS AND IT LIVED ON TO HAUNT SNOW

[angelikaheckel]

Yes Jennifer You are a PeaceMacker and a Punischer!!! Let' s make do Freedom, Peace and Love in this NightMare of Live!!!

Been re-watching the films recently and had Hanging Tree going round in by brain, so been browsing a few videos on Youtube. Excellent compilation. I shall bookmark.

[Carmine_Sayonara]

God I know it’s been awhile, but I just finished the movies and can’t let go of the ending. Or this song..
