underscores fanmade music video

The original song is You don't even know who I am off of the album Wallsocket by underscores. Originally, this was just going to be another SPC700 cover, but I felt drawn to making an entire music video from scratch, and to sing on it, which is rare for me.

The entire album is full of immaculate horror vibes, and tells an engaging story, set in the fictional town of Wallsocket, Michigan. This specific song is about a parasocial relationship between a fan and a celebrity. I tried to evoke a lot of the narrative's themes, and imagery that tends to come up (footage projected onscreen during live shows, music videos for the other songs, etc.) with the kinds of things I filmed. I recorded everything on my trusty Mini VHS camcorder and captured it back.

EarthBound Beginnings Remake Hack "Commercial" Trailer

A game trailer from an alternate universe, inspired by this rare Nintendo Power video.
Gabbi and I traveled across multiple states filming these shots for the entire summer of 2025. Some models are from eBay, some we 3D printed. It was so much fun to film and edit.
I ran the raw video into my VCR, then captured it back. Gameplay footage is now outdated as some old sprites and battle backgrounds have been replaced.

Clips from WTTW Chicago

My father has a lot of off-air recordings of Doctor Who from the 80s. I can't upload them for obvious reasons, but I've preserved a few clips here.
