Gritty, mysterious, lyrical, and haunting, this Slytherin music video was created to capture the evil cunning of the most infamous of Hogwarts founders (and frequently those sorted into his house). Brief moments of respite are there to remind us that not all hope is lost... ("After all this time?" "Always.")
So yeah, we love Harry Potter. We had an inkling of wanting to compose some music based off of the series for a while, but the exact topic was not something we had any concrete ideas on. Until one evening, we were sitting around and out of nowhere we thought....wouldn't it be fun to make a theme for each founder!? Within the next couple hours, 75% of this piece was on paper!
Finishing the rest didn't take much longer, and it looked like it was going to be finished in time for Halloween. Traditionally, Halloween is a big deal on our YouTube channel, so this felt like a perfect time to premiere a piece based on Harry Potter!
In addition to creating a piece we couldn't wait to share, we had some fun with some new filming techniques, and finally put some things into practice we learned from that tricky Greensleeves video, like filming in a dark space (*ahem* without the whole freezing 🥶☃ our toes and fingers off part...).
