please let me info dump a bit about my Process(TM) because I've been working on this for ages:
Sucker: this is technically not part of the music scene, but the music scene had flashbacks to this one, so it's fine. also I really like how this turned out so I didnt want to change it!
To Ashes and Blood: This is a gif recreation of the to Ashes and Blood album cover, which I know about because Hideo Kojima has a copy. It's literally the only cover I've seen so I figured I'd lean into it. I also had to cover up the non-Jayce parts because there were lights flashing so fast I was worried it was going to trigger someone's epilepsy.
Hellfire: the record player is corroded. almost as if it was in contact with an incredibly dangerous, corrosive gas. Also, the font's name is 'Dark Dominion'. I thought it was a nice fit!
Remember Me: the record player's pink and blue to reflect Vi and Powder's hair. however: trans rights.
Ma Meilleure Ennemie: This one caused so much fucking pain. The version you see here was heavily inspired by Pomme and Stromae albums - I just looked through them on Spotify. There is also a little hint of wild rune corruption, but it's a bit too faint and I think it didn't come through at all lmao. also, the video itself is choppy, it's not me. it does annoy me, though
Fantastic: Fantastic is my favourite Arcane song and currently my #1 most listened on Spotify, it's amazing. It was also the first gif I made, and then I re-made it because it looked so shitty after I finished the last one (Ma Meilleure Ennemie, since it was fucking me up). The song reminds me of, like, retro-diner Americana so I went for that kind of font choice
The Line: Listen. I know that's not when the Line played. BUT this scene was in the music video for the Line so fuck it, let me have this. Jayvik fans will understand. And, let's face it, Jayvik fans are also the only ones who will notice. Also by this point I knew all the 'ship' songs were gonna be in the same place, so I wasn't going to leave Jayvik out. Yes, that is the official 21 pilots logo.
Blood Sweat & Tears: This is Ambessa Medarda's theme song, but you'll notice a startling lack of Mel in the soundtrack. This is because she's disrespected. Anyway I added her and I feel like this scene provides a nice little argument to the themes presented in the song, so it works. Ambessa would probably not approve. The Sheryl Lee Ralph part is a direct reference to her albums - with her name in all caps, serif font, red.
(Bonus) Enemy: This was originally supposed to be included and I was going to make it look like a replica of the opening vinyl (because it's the opening song), but I eventually gave up on it because
the only scenes I found that would fit was from the to Ashes and Blood sequence and you know people are gonna be annoying about that, and
the Arcane vinyl font is called 'art nouveau' and it costs $22. No.
