Video Source: Dead Poets Society, original Helena music video
Music: Helena by My Chemical Romance
Download: AVI/DIVX (pretty) or WMV (not so pretty)

When I mentioned to people that this song made me think of Dead Poets Society, they all went like: O_O
But it made perfect sense to me! I could see this video in my head very clearly (and I doubted any Dead Poets Society vids even existed) so I decided to make it. I mixed the movie with the original video for the song, and despite the VHS quality of DPS (remind me to get it on dvd) I like how it came out. There are spoilers for the film. But... I mean, this movie came out in 1989!

Feedback makes me happy. :)

Wow, that was beautiful! The music video & film worked really well together (I especially liked the section of the single girl dancing cut with Robert Sean Leonard's character after the play). I noticed you kept the MTV2 two-headed dog watermark throughout, even on the film footage. Nice touch. :)

I haven't seen DPS yet, but I heard it was a good movie, I just have to get around to watching it. ^_^ Nice editing and blending of scenes. And I can sorta see/understand where the idea for using this song for DPS came from. Kudos on a job well done! The music vid and the movie vid blends really meshed well.

I on the other hand haven't seen his music video yet, but I have seen DPS, and I am a big fan. I felt you represented it well with concise editing. The mixing was a success, and I guess this isn't a big deal, but I think I would've liked to see more DPS footage :)

I agree with sol_se in that the bridge in the later half was quite good. Keep up the good work.

While it downloaded I had my doubts about how well it would work, but I was blown away by how you were able to meld the two together.

I had my doubts, but I really loved it! Thank you so much for sharing. I'd love to see what else you could do for DPS.

Just saw DPS very recently myself, and your vid? Absolute genius!

I know this was posted a... very long time ago, but I love this video so much. It's so good. My favorite part is how you cut the boys ripping out pages from the textbook to that guitar riff.
