I created this video for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2025 Accolades contest as my live action entry. I actually got inpsired to use this song and Die Hard from seeing another editor (by the name of END) at AWA 2024 at his editors spotlight and the idea of "Hey, why don't you do a Christmas music video next year for AWA? What's a good Christmas movie to use...... DIE HARD!! Welp that'll work perfectly!" It wasn't my intent to make this my next live action entry as I have something already planned, but when inspiration hits you, you gotta jump on it!

I started working on the video over a couple of weeks between Janurary and February 2025 and sadly I couldn't incorporate every element of that movie into this song, but I tried my darndist to make it look awesome. I know 13 year old me would be proud of 39 year old me making a kick ass Die Hard music video, because both versions of ourselves love that movie!

Music: Trans Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Eve/Sarajevo (2016 Remaster)
