Empire Ants

I did not have the mental energy required to fix the colour grading and/or lighting in some of these. 🤷 But I tried to make sure they were all visible on my monitor and I run it at the absolute minimum brightness, so they should be usable.


( Am I forever young or will I simply fade before I'm old? )

These are very artsy fartsy, and I'm not sorry. I mostly played around with colours here instead of trying to correct them, because I don't enjoy going insane trying to make something lit in neon strobe lights look as if it's neutral. That, and it'd be a horrible disservice to the cool aesthetic of the music video, so... There are, however, quite a few that actually have a visible face and such.


( You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way. )

Seriously, I'm kind of in love with Nate's cover of Bury A Friend. Sorry, not sorry.

I almost didn't alter the tone on these, but the stark blue tones just made him look like a ghost or something once I brightened the caps.


( Honestly, I thought that I would be dead by now. )

Part two of two featuring Nathan Sharp (NateWantsToBattle on YouTube) in his music video for Branded. Which, by the way, is stuck in my head now.


( Shine so bright this star's gonna burn out. )

Part one of two featuring Nathan Sharp (NateWantsToBattle on YouTube) in his music video for Branded. The lighting and colouring are inconsistent af through these because I worked on them over the course of like a month and got lazy halfway through, oops.


( Pray I'm doin' time with star shaped scars. We're in a special kind of hell. )

I did what I could with the extremely dark and red lighting of this video, but the aesthetic just could not go un-iconned. So, here's Nathan Sharp (aka NateWantsToBattle on YouTube) in his music video for Phantom.

If all goes as planned, I'll be making more of this guy from other music videos and general photos at some point.
