  • sick drops 

  • FUCKING GORGEOUS! :D

  • This and "Zero Sum" are probably the best example of the side to NIN that most people don't notice; Trent's ability to take harsh, weird noises and turn them into something bizarrely and hauntingly beautiful.

  • powerful

  • well done!

  • How can it be poossible that 16 people dont like this music? All of you must be shit eaters!

  • @mpereirawolf Donkey Raping Shit Eaters!

  • @KyleClyne wtf?

    

  • The world approaches disaster and catastrophy, but there are people who know how to turn it all in bloom

  • great video!!

  • Aw ye. Good shit.

  • Just watched it, think its pretty good... I think you did well with keeping the words with fitting pictures

  • im really high.... this is awesome.

  • the chorus is so amazing..

  • What is the last 13 seconds of the video from ?

  • stunning.... as if I was watching original NIN visuals...

    VERY IMPRESSED

  • nice work man!

  • What is the last 13 seconds of the video from ?

  • @detoxscission Year Zero trailer

  • 15 people suck.

  • Hadn't watched this since it was first done. I forgot how good it was. Nice visuals, edited and timed well with the music. Probably the best video to song I've seen on here. Great job... Wish you would do more.

  • I just watched this for the first time in ... years!! I had a lot of time on my hands back then!! hmm too much slow mo too, would of used much much quicker editing if I was to do it again now ... but for all the lovely comments, and that I was 22 with no experience in editing ........ just an over keen NIN fan ..... not bad not bad. that'll do pig.

  • @Jennaphoenix Loved your Babe reference.

  • @Jennaphoenix - i just had the song come up on my itunes and remembered your brilliant little viddy; had to come back and find it. :) really a great job; i grew up with ebn and oghr's video backdrops at skinny puppy shows and the 'hard edit' years of videodecks - i love that you used that style mostly throughout and relied on montage for emotion instead of effects-layering. :0 is really excellent and chilling whatcha did!! :)

  • I was very impressed. Should that mean something? Well, the video captures, for me, what I'd have imagined (visually) of the song. Perhaps a little more apocalyptic, but that's NIN for you. Beautiful tragedy. Peaceful destruction. Great stuff. I really mean it.

  • I got goosebumps....

    awesome job!

  • This Should Become Official!

  • Great job hon <3

  • Thank you.

    Seriously. Thank you. You have no idea how much these visuals to this music means to me. I think this is the happiest moment in my life for the past two years or something. Rediscovering this, and the imagery it left in me.

    Again, thank you.

    h.

  • Cheers man I used pieces of this in my vocal cover!

  • very nice! the video went along really well with the song :)

  • "Reznor. You are ... . This is absolutely brilliant. Thanks."

  • Reznor. You are ... . This is absolutely brilliant. Thanks.

  • Has anyone noticed the scream? I LOVE IT, i don't know why, thats a scream i can stand, thats not my sisters >.>

  • so sad.

  • great work! maybe the best fan made music video i've seen, yet :)

  • Impeccable editing; great timing.

    I'm curious about your footage: is it all original? There seemed to be some very professional material in there but i couldnt identify any specific film or show that it may have been from. If not, well, very impressive cinematography indeed :0 If so, still an incredible accomplishment. I look forward to seeing more of the same from you.

    Subscribed.

  • @BaronHKFvMunchausen I believe little, if any, original footage was employed. I recognize many of the scenes from several different movies spanning three decades. Impeccable editing, indeed.

    Well done, Jennaphoenix!

  • @PeedroPaula Most deprecating flattery ever. :-)

  • I also like how the Year Zero CD is black, and when you take it out of your stereo or car radio, the heat fades the blackness away and its white with the 0's and 1's on it.

  • This has to be my favorite song on the Year Zero album.

  • Science will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings.

  • Started out so authentic looking i wasnt sure i was not looking at the real deal. It did sort of decend into pictionary later though ("ashes in your hair" - show ashes in hair). Overall a wonderful job, just need to keep up the editing you started out with (quick alternating cuts back and forth etc).

  • Don't worry your pretty little human heads. It won't be Aliens from outer space that destroy this world. It will be us all on our own.

  • Amazing job! You have real talent. I enjoyed this even though its hard to watch.

  • Strangely when the world ends, I'm playing this song on my iPod while i walk the streets of my city. Call me creepy

  • @DJFkhed I'm so gonna play NIN in Apocalyptic times. 

  • And if the world was ending, you'd be the one I want to see before it all turns to black...

  • love the song, nice work on the video, really creative :) +respects mon, keep the work up, and the music even higher :)

  • so good.....i love this song....makes me think..... i relate

  • gave me chills up my spine~Awesome Mate!

  • dust to dust

    ashes in your hair remind me

    what it feels like

    and i wont feel again

    night descends

    could i have been a better person?

    if i could only

    do it all again

  • Nice! 

  • my friend is completely obsessed with nin and trent reznor. but i love this song. (: she did a poetry interpretation on it for aela (advanced ela.) it's amazing... aaaah.

  • Nice job!

  • I got the same kind of visual from the song... like it was about the infinitely stretched out moment right when a bomb hits. That one "twilight" moment before the dark.

  • Absolutely phenomenal man! Perfect combination of the perfect clips. Always wanted to try something like this, but never had the patience to go out and find the clips, clip them to just what I wanted, then splice them all together just so. Amazing job.

  • This is stunning.

  • great job capturing the essence of the lyrics with video. This is art.

  • Beautiful... Reminds me how real the motive for Year Zero is, despite the unreal themes it really haves. This video I think brings out the fucking truth, about how we might find our end this century. I'm not a pessimistic person...^^ just... think this problem and possibility should be taken more seriously...

  • I get very emotional listening to this song anyway, but I just watched the video twice and cried both times. Great job jennaphoenix!!

  • A truly beautiful video for an equally beautiful song. I'm sure TR would highly approve!

  • WOW amazing video, really beautiful and beautifully done. I just showed this to my husband, and he was shocked that it was an amateur effort...he thought it was the official video :) I am a huge NIN fan, and this is one of my faves. Thanks so much for this!

  • Excellent!

  • The twist is at the end of the movie you find out the guy in the hair piece is really Bruce Willis

  • Yeah nice, but most of the AMAZING footage is from Koyaanisqatsi (1982) by Godrey Reggio. Which in itself is amazing with the symphony of philip glass backing it.

  • Fuck ya

  • very well done, i like the vid of the hand coming down used. BTW what ever happens with the hand? Like does it kill people or what?

  • @gctones

    It killed a passing stray dog but I think thats it, any more stupid questions? lol

  • Only 70,458 views!?!?!?!?? WHAT!? This is what I consider to be THE VIDEO representation of this song, it fits so well even if it was footage from movies..... hahaha.. i'm sad!

  • 1:46

    that looks very familiar, but I can't quite place it? Does anyone know what film it's from?

  • Well at 1:48 is Silent Hill

  • *dudette

  • Amazing dude

  • Holy F**k!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • Great effort, great result. Thanks!

  • You did a great job with this, the imagery really works well, I think.

  • Great vid.

    What movie is 1:11 from?

  • a truly incredible song & video. great job!!

  • Yeah he's right, good job

  • Wonderful job!

    Keep up the good work, and im sure you will turn heads!

  • amazing

  • That was amazing. Just like I had pictured it in my head, its like your a fuckin mind reader.

  • fucking sweet

  • This is an amazingly well done video for a great song.

  • amazing video!

  • wow. love this song. great video

  • That was pretty sick man. I liked the use of those movies with this song, really got the point across. Thanks for making it!

  • Also, where did you get that video of the presence?

  • That's from the Year 0 trailer

  • :16

    HOLY SHIT THE PRESENCE

  • scary thing is that in the philly concert I just went to at the Wachovia Center

    Trent Reznor played this song and had visuals in the background that were similar to this videos concept.

  • i love it ^^ it's just perfect!

  • WE FUCKING love this song!!

  • The clips in this video are similar to that of another In This Twilight video.

  • Actually this video was the inspiration for the other

  • terminator two. when sara connor was dreaming.

  • wow, the terminator 2 part was awesome.

  • the part when the nurse hold that shaking hand....its very beautyful...very feelingfull work youve done....thank you

  • what was the movie with the rockets flying everywhere.

    and this song makes me wanna cry :[ lyrics are amazing

  • Terminator 3

  • i love this song, and the lyrics are amazing.

  • Very good job. Attempting to set visuals to a NIN song without getting some people angry takes skill. Five stars.

  • wow awsome vid to an awsome song XD good job

  • Wow, you did an EXCELLENT job on this video, I could totally match the scenes with the lyrics. GREAT JOB!!!

  • real new music

  • why it always have to be total world destruction....? kinda screws NIN's music ,cuz everyone should have its own interpretation to real art. peace

  • well i whole year zero

    album is about destruction isnt it?

    destruction of society

    and/or our planet

  • when these types of fan-made videos feature footage of bombings and destruction, they don't mean it's good thing.

    And NIN doesn't think so either.

    "everyone should have its own interpretation to real art"

    if that's what you think, then you should be fine with their interpretations.

  • 3 time great

  • This song is ADDICTIVE! Trent, you are an amazing musician.

  • really good video thanks really feel it encompases the mood & emotions of the song well done

  • still fucking great even a year after post.

  • Awesome job. Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing it.

  • Great Job!

  • always makes me fear the future :/

  • Dude You Did Awesome Come On Do More Man U Rock Visuals Man Your Like...

    TOTAL DESTRUCTION

  • That was pretty damn amazing, and its did a superb job of capturing the emotion and feeling in that song.

    Damn fine job.

  • Whoever made this video should without a doubt look into a career in Video/Music. One word... Incredible.

  • wow, this is actually the only fanmade vid ive seen, that gave me serious chills and almost made me cry

    i love you! please dont stop making them.

  • Amazing video. This is definitely one of my favorite songs on Year Zero. I dig the lyrics and it just has an awesome 1980s Smiths/Duran Duran kinda sound.

  • easy now, I'm not interested in the comments list for this video turning into a another pointless YouTube argument.

  • @Jennaphoenix hey i think you've done a great job. love this band and i think you've got a good eye for what goes right with what. 5 thumbs up

  • I saw some other amateur music videos from Year Zero, but this one is the best, there is a real progression between the beggining and the end, and every sequence match with the video.

    Great job :)

  • I love this...

  • sometimes i think it would be better if something would wipe this planet clean of all humans

  • I know exactly what you mean! That would get rid of all the worlds problems, but not all humans are bad, and having something wipe all of us out would be a pretty big waste. I just hope that the world stays stable through my lifetime..

  • I can tell you already: it wont be stable.

    And even if it will be stable, whats with the generations after you?

  • at 2:29 what movie is that? amazing video..thank you for uploading

  • Yes!!! Silent hill! 2.01 is from silent hill! Fuck yeah, damn i love that movie. Awsome video and even better NiN! Completely changed my perspective on so many things (For the best)!! Nice job!

  • this video gave me the creeps. and i love the song, trents voice is phenomenal. the lyrics. love them. "all the black is really white, if you believe it"

  • racist asshole

  • this video is beautiful! I love this song, and although the it never scared me(except once when i was listening to it while writing something), this video brings some chilling things to mind; wonder is one of those things :)

  • year zero is about the end of the world?Talks about the Humanity?

  • one of the reasons why i love nine inch nails is whether it be from the lyrics or the music they can rly touch ur emotions in different ways. its inspiring and just a beautiful to hear, it makes you think.

  • this is frickin amazing

  • That was a completly awesome video, well done

  • I agree I love this song but it does scare the hell outta me to.

  • hah iam putting this video on my ipod ;D

  • This an amazing song, but it scares the hell out of me...

  • such a beautiful and sad song. makes me feel a sence of emptiness but comfort

  • if we all DO happen to perish in a nuclear twilight or even from the aide of a unguided comet...THIS will be the last song I will listen to before I die...

  • Well done video. my guns are loaded and my knives are sharp; i will be ready when the fight comes.

  • This song really reminds me of 1984...

    "all the black is really white, if you believe it"

    "as your time is running out, we will take away your doubt:

    Almost like there was an apocalyptic war followed by totalitarian rule.

    Excellent job on the video!

  • Wow!

  • this version still gets me... you did a really really excellent job jamming together some great emotional bits of footage. i do hope there is some room to give in copyright for artists to jam like this... i've had some great times clipping 'altered states' with 'ladyhawke'. rock on!

  • nice video. great work! :)

  • This was a very good representation of the song. The first meaning I ever got out of it when I was listening to it was of world-wide nuclear war, hinted by lines such as, "And the sky is filled with light"

  • i like the style you combined those koyaanisqatsi-scenes with other footage. Big Shot!

  • What movie are the scenes with the missiles launching from behind the farm and exploding coming from?

  • That would be Terminator 3 for ya!

  • I'm actually throwing a party on Dec 21st 2012 to celebrate the end of everything. I figure we might as well go out having a bit of fun.

  • no no we all should riot thats a fun way to go out honestly im going to break stuff burn houses down but first ill tie up loose ends and tell my freinds i love them and im going to miss them when were all dead

  • this song is so emotinal if you think about it chances about some thing happening in 2012 is going to be cataclysmic or wonderfull we all could die soon

  • 2012 the earth will promenade or switch axis. Meaning north will be south and vice versa. This has happened 8 other times in out past, chances will be it will go off without a hitch. Its a wonder that even though scientists know about this nothing has been reported in the media.

    Anyway, the music video itself was amazing, very well done.

  • This is probably THE best fan vid i have ever seen. it really sets the mood of the song while giving the listener/viewer a feel of awe and awareness of how f***ed our world is.

  • bravo!

    this is very well done

    one of the best i think

  • Extremly well made video. could quite possibly be mthe best video ive seen on youtube.

  • wow, this is the best fan work i've seen in a long time, i love it. it is amazing!! it fits so well with the song. well done :) trent would most certainly be proud of you.

    star, xxx

  • and this song really hit you deep inside

    star, xxx

  • very powerful. i think its one of my fave songs by nin
