Watchmen:Origins 16 - 'Out of Hand' Part Two

i wonder if this video was made before the movie cos they use the same music (war cry) at the same scene. i wonder who copied who.

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

Do you mean Ride of the Valkyries ( 1:44 onwards)? Well as you can see I made this 7 months before the film's release, but it's not a case of anyone copying anyone. Zack Snyder was using this track as stand-in music for the scene at the time, though he indicated he probably wouldn't be using it. I thought that was a missed opportunity, and I was pleased that he used it in the end too.

@AllyourbasicGerrard yeah i did mean ride of the valkyries. i thought it was called war cry (thats what is called on my ipod anyway) how did you know that snyder was using it as stand in music?

I like how the music turns loud and Jon is like blake is interesting I've never met anyone so deliberately amoral

Brilliant as always AllyourbasicGerrard. The transitions from different scenes by using different music, for example, When Dr. Manhattan is in Vietnam and it's "The ride of the Valkyries". That was awesome. An excellent throwback to Apocalypse Now. You have the best Watchmen videos on YouTube. I hope you continue to make more.

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

You're very kind! Thank you! There will be three more (rounding off Rorschach, Laurie and -*gulp*- Veidt...) and I'm thinking about doing something for Dan Dreiberg afterwards...we'll see...

Spocko1088 said it all: Excellent Wagner "Apocalypse Now" nod and a fascinating mixture of music reflecting the conflicting perspective of time and space that Dr. Manhattan experiences. I'm looking forward to seeing more Origin Profiles!
