Smallville "False Advertising" and The Return of Lex Luthor

After Smallville was pushed back a week I was furious! It really annoyed me, since I was looking forward for the show returning and also knowing in the back of my head this is the final season and I want to get all the Smallville I can. So instead of breaking things or starting fights with random people I made a video. I took the idea of "False Advertising" and used it to announce fake guest star returns that would be awesome, but would never happen.

Also I wanted to use the kick-ass song Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy for a video!



Now there was a lot of negative reactions when news broke that Michael Rosenbaum wasn't going to return, but I was not angry with him. Many people complained and wanted his head on a platter. I still held hope that some thing would happen before the finale. I don't believe anything until it comes from the actual source. Same thing with those rumors about the new Supeman film, whether its good or bad rumors are rumors until they are confirmed.

On a side note, I am really excited for this new Superman movie and I am totally on board with Henry Cavill as the new Man of Steel. Unlike some fans I would enjoy watching Tom Welling, Brandon Routh or Henry Cavill as Superman.

The video itself was something I have been working on for a while. I had some of Lex's audio in the beginning and the music itself set up. I wanted to use Kanye West's "Power" because it kind of described Lex on different levels. For instance the lyrics, "No one man should have all that power" can describe Lex's situation as the ruthless business man of metropolis or it could be Lex's view on Superman/Clark that no one person should have all those super powers.

Yes that 1:23 video was supposed to have layers...

Any way, I was ecstatic when Michael Rosenbaum announced his return and wanted to make a video that showed it and I hope everyone enjoyed it.

World Without A Superman

Synopsis:

Superman is dead and the world is in mourning. A funeral is held with all his friends and even included the notorious Lex Luthor. Bizarro starts to remember that he is Clark Kent and returns the Daily Planet. Lex Luthor is saved by a mysterious stranger who he believes is Superman, while his father Lionel is hospitalized since being taken over as a vessel for “Jor-el.” “Jor-el” meets Bizarro and promises to reveal his true purpose and destiny. In order to fill the void that Superman left Supergirl and Cyborg step up to protect the world. Lionel is actually Brainiac and is trying to use a misguided Bizarro as his own personal Superman. Lex Luthor figures out where the real Superman is and wants to change his ways and redeem himself by bringing him back. Supergirl and Cyborg try to protect Lex while Brainiac and Bizarro attempt to stop them from bringing back the real man of steel.

Here is the second chapter, I hope everyone likes it. The way things are going I might be looking at this summer for the third and final chapter. It's going to be huge and hopefully bigger than the first two videos for the Return of Superman.

World Without A Superman Teaser

I finally found everything I needed for the second chapter of the Death of Superman trilogy, so I made this quick teaser. The full 3 minute trailer will be up on the January 1st, 2011, and hopefully if everything goes right the final chapter will be due out sometime in the summer. Stay tuned...

Smallville - "It's Superman!"

This video came up while trying to remix two songs. I heard "Gotta Work" by Amerie in a Human Target commercial (Which is a great show, I have the episodes I might do a video) the song samples Sam & Dave's "Hold On I'm Comin'". I always wanted to do a smallville video with Clark saving people to "Hold On I'm Comin" but it never panned out. After my failed attempt of a remix of the two songs I decided to start doing a Smallville video to the instrumental version. It felt very barren and it needed some lyrics or words, so I put in the classic lines from 40s radio and 50s tv show and out came what you see today!

I may look into doing other "music videos" like this with an instrumental version of the background song and sound clips from Smallville.

Smallville "Become Our Hero"

After watching the first two episodes of Season 10 I felt like making a video. So many great things in both of these episodes, Smallville is on the right track for its final season. I wanted to start the video slow using the music from Book of Eli, which is a great movie, and then pump it up with the Superman theme. I don't usually use the Superman theme because youtube takes down videos with it.

If anything happens to the youtube version, another will take it's place here!

Smallville "Destiny Is Here" Promo

I've been busy these last few weeks. I haven't been able to do any new videos so I focused my attention on one Season 10 video. This season looks epic and I can't wait till this Friday.



The music usually come first and after watching the Emmy's and hearing the music from Dragonheart, I knew I had to do something with this very powerful and moving score. So I tried going through everything to find sound clips, but I wanted to go further than my Season 10 is a Go video. I went through mostly all of the Smallville footage and came up with "Destiny Is Here." The show is always talking about it or hinting at Clark's destiny and this final season there is no where left to go but up, up, and away.

Smallville Inception Teaser

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been working on some special projects for some people, and hopefully I could share it with everyone soon.


I thought Inception was an awesome movie. I also found the movie trailer very powerful, so I tried to figure out how to make a Smallville parody. I had two ways I could do this, keep the audio and change the video (like with the Star Trek mash-up) or I could keep the music and try my best to make a Smallville version of the trailer (like the Pineapple Express Mash-up).

I immediately remembered Season 7's Fracture, where Clark goes into Lex's mind and started from there. That with a combination of Kara and Lex's memory talks I had the makings of an Inception mash-up.

It is pretty funny, the name of the treatment that puts Clark into Lex's mind is called "Project Intercept", but I didn't want to call it "Smallville Interception" because someone might think it had to do with Clark's high school football days.

Stay tuned for more stuff soon!
