Footage: Dark Souls / Dark Souls 2
Music: "Uprising" by Muse
AWARDS:
A-Kon 2014, Non-AMV Fan Favorite
Been wanting to do a music video for the Dark Souls games ever since I saw the Dark Souls 2 trailer from VGA 2012. I had to search for a long time to find a song that fit since Dark Souls has a very minimalist approach to its story — instead of multitudes of cutscenes to convey things the player is forced to find the story through in-game clues and immersion. Considering this, I decided to depict the games through the both perspectives of the player (the Undead) and the antagonists (Lord Gwyn and his followers).
Having chosen this approach, I chose "Uprising" by Muse. I found that the lyrics fit with Dark Souls' imagery and it fit the pacing I had in mind as well. Ultimately though I settled on "Uprising" purely because of the chorus — it fits so well with feelings of perseverance and accomplishment that the player experiences from advancing through the game, but it also applies to the motivations of the games antagonists as well. Lord Gwyn and his followers rose up and defeated their Dragon overlords and ascended to total supremacy... now it is time for the chosen of cursed Undead to rise.
Fun fact: there are no edits from 1:24-1:53 whatsoever. Everything you see in that time frame is untouched and exactly as it was in the original footage. That was the first part I "edited" to test out the song with the footage and after seeing that I knew I had to finish it.
