There were elements of "The Becoming" that reminded me of Michael Mann's film "Manhunter", so I thought I'd try this out.

Warning; there are spoilers for the movie in this.

This is probably the most effects-laden thing I've ever done. Lots of color "correction" and other visual changes of the original (brilliant) movie.

It was really hard to put the edits/cuts where they are and leave it there. There was a kind of feel I was going for, and the typical "always cut on a major beat" type of thing just wouldn't have worked right for this. I wanted the off-kilter feel of having the edits in seemingly the wrong places.

The timing of the ending with the music is also intentional. I wanted the vocals in the song to continue after the film's "resolution", to further express that Dollarhyde's thought process was still in Graham's head.

I'm really happy with the result.

  • to those who don't know "Manhunter" was remade by Ridly Scott as "Hanibal" :)

  • Not quite. "Manhunter" is based on the book "The Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris. It's the first in a series, followed by "The Silence Of The Lambs" and then "Hannibal" and "Hannibal Rising". The book "The Red Dragon" was recently re-adapted to a film. It's not really a remake of this film though, they're just from the same source material. I've heard that "The Red Dragon"(film) is quite different.

  • Michael Mann really knows how to get a shot...i've heard several songs that can immediately remind me of certain scenes or shots from Manhunter

  • @hfb17 er.... no, actually

  • that dude could use a bit of extra hair...

  • IMO Fight Club fits this song perfectly but hey, not bad.

  • This is a fantastic video....perfect use of the song :D

  • Well done, Yorgle! Perhaps you should get into the movie trailer-making business. I also had an idea of using this song in a movie, but as an intro with all kinds of freaky things going on in the background. You made a masterpiece!

  • remade as red dragon by that hack brett ratner

  • i love this video! great work!
