Remix as interpretation
The existing commercial provided a strong visual vocabulary. The edit keeps that source visible while reorganizing it around a new musical and emotional rhythm.
Case study · An independent video remix for Fiction Prediction
This independent remix began with Displaced/Replaced’s original commercial for Planet B’s Fiction Prediction. I re-edited the source around “Filthy Suitcase,” reshaping its timing, sequence, and momentum into a new social video. Planet B loved the result and featured it on the band’s Instagram.
The existing commercial provided a strong visual vocabulary. The edit keeps that source visible while reorganizing it around a new musical and emotional rhythm.
Percussion, friction, repetition, and interruption drive the sequence, letting “Filthy Suitcase” determine the pace rather than treating the imagery as decoration.
The square format and immediate opening are built for social viewing without reducing the work to disposable content.
I’m a huge admirer of Displaced/Replaced’s work. His original commercial is the foundation of this remix, and he was incredibly gracious about my re-edit—so his authorship belongs at the center of the story.
Justin Pearson, Luke Henshaw, Kevin Avery, and Scott Osment make music that sits just outside a single genre—colliding hip-hop, hardcore punk, turntablism, and the unease of ’70s and ’80s horror scores. The result is catchy, heavily percussive, and eerie all at once.
The rapid-changing stills that drive much of the remix are predominantly Becky DiGiglio’s photographs of the band.
