The idea of the project was to take a music video that could have been done so much better, and re-create it in the way you would have designed it. The style I chose to redesign this song in was of a Gothic Masquerade Ball. The ballroom scene was filmed at the Loew’s Theater in Jersey City. For more information on the theater, please visit http://www.loewsjersey.org/ .
For the singers, I chose to have them represent the elements of nature. Each element plays a role in representing the storyline and its characters:
Water/Ice: Represents the icy feeling of the countess.
Air: The changing winds of the two leads meeting and the flirtation between them.
Earth: A strong and firm bond but mystery between them.
Fire: The passion growing between them/the rage felt by the bodyguard at the young woman’s disappearance.
The entire video was shot in a weekend in collaboration with Theory Film INC. There are two other versions of his project as well, though they will not be shown publicly for some time. Also, the video is still in its fine tuning stages, but will be flawless by the time that it reaches the panel of professors at my school.
I have to give a huge thanks to my actors and crew. Without them, none of what you have seen would have been possible. They are all amazing to suffer through freezing cold, dehydration, stupid hours in the morning, rehearsals of long and tedious endeavors, and caravaning 10+ cars through New Jersey. Also, a huge thanks to my family for all their love and support over the past five months of work. And lastly, thanks to the Jersey City fire department and medical center for taking such great care of one of my actors who was hurt in the process. Thank you to all of them.

Dream Theater Tribute
Split Screen Covers / VRA!
Metropolis – Part 1
“The Miracle and the Sleeper”
Album: Images and Words
Our 2nd song for the Split-Screen Covers / Dream Theater Tribute project. This time our guest vocalist was Will Shaw, the “guy who sings DT and Symphony-X in his car”, a.k.a. Unflexablegrace. Thank you for the great performance Will!
For suggestions, comments or whatever, feel free to email us.

╟►SPLIT-SCREEN COVERS
Song #1 – “Lifting Shadows Off a Dream”
Song #2 – “Metropolis – Part 1″
The ideia behind the project is to collaborate online to record these covers.
Although some good friends of mine form the core of the project, the band won’t necessarily be the same for every song. We will have guests from around the world participating, mostly (if nor all) on vocals though, at our discretion.
How those it work?
Each guy in the band records their parts (audio tracks and video) at home or at a local studio and sends them to me.
I then put the audio together and mix it.
Since I’m fairly new to mixing, this has been a great exercise for me. I learn the concept behind the sound of my favorite albums and try a whole bunch of cool techniques attempting to replicate it closely.
I AB my mix with the original song but I don’t get too crazy about it. It’s difficult to get the sound exactly right due to a number of variables. When I get it close enough I stop comparing the two and just get it to sound good (hopefully) from there.
When the final stereo audio track is done I take it to a video editing software and sync everyones videos to it. After a bit of editing and level/color corrections it’s ready for YouTube. 
╟► How to guest on a future SSC video?SplitScreenCovers@gmail.com
We’re lucky enough to say we’ve been getting many requests from great singers from around the world interested in participating on this project.
Unfortunately we can’t keep up with recording at the same rate people are showing up. A few singers are already chosen for specific songs and are just patiently waiting until we manage to get to them. Slowly but surely, we will do each one.
This unsynced relation of available singers to songs being put out has however put us in a difficult position of having to be more selective of our guests. We haven’t written out an official criteria list to follow while evaluating candidates, as we thought it wouldn’t come to this.
We’ll listen to the supplied material (video on youtube, myspace, or whatever) and either feel it fits our project or not. That simple! We’ll mostly be paying attention to intonation, performance, ability to deliver lyrics in English convincinly, tone, the usual (including our personal preferences).
We’ll check our list of available next few songs and suggest one or two we feel might fit nicely for the specific voice, and then talk it out from there.
I’d like to concentrate contact through email if at all possible. It makes keeping track of everyone much easier. If you prefer, contact through PM is fine also.
SplitScreenCovers@gmail.com
For anyone interested, please send us an email with your info. Tell us a bit about yourself. A good starting point would be your name, city/country, bands/projects, forum alias, youtube channel, myspace, recording setup. Please also include a list of your favourite DT albums and songs you’d wish to cover and any other info you feel we should know.
We won’t be accepting guests with no recorded audio for us to listen to. This is the least we could ask. So don’t send us emails with “DT rulz, i sing nicely, I swear!!!!1″ (we do get this)… I’m sure you do, but please show us.

Song / These Walls
Album / Octavarium
Artist / Dream Theater
Year / 2005
Lyrics :
This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing’s getting through
Watch me
Fading
I’m losing
All my instincts
Falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I’m holding back
It’s not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I’m trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now
So much uncertainty
I don’t like this feeling
I’m sinking like a stone
Each time I try to speak
There’s a voice I’m hearing
And it changes everything
Watch me
Crawl from
The wreckage
Of my silence
Conversation
Failing
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I’m holding back
It’s not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I’m trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls
Every time you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay
Is there someone who will wait for you
One more time
One more time
Watch me
Fading
I’m losing
All my instincts
Falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I’m holding back
It’s not too late for me
To keep from sinking further
I’m trying to find my way out
Tear down these walls for me now
Tear down these walls for me
It’s not too late for me
Tear down these walls for me

Song / Sacrificed Sons
Album / Octavarium
Artist / Dream Theater
Year / 2005
Lyrics :
Walls are closing
Anxiously
Channel surfing
Frantically
Burning City
Smoke and fire
Planes we’re certain
Faith inspired
No clues
A complete surprise
Who’ll be
Coming home tonight
Heads all turning
Towards the sky
Towers crumble
Heroes die
Who would wish this on our people
And proclaim that His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled them
All praise their Sacrificed Sons
All praise their Sacrificed Sons
Teach them
What to think and feel
Your ways
So enlightening
Words they preach
I can’t relate
If God’s true Love
Are acts of Hate
Who would wish this on our people
And proclaim that His will be done
Scriptures they heed have misled them
All praise their Sacrificed Sons
All praise their Sacrificed Sons
God on High
Our mistakes
Will mankind be extinct?
There’s no time, time to waste
Who serves the truth
For Heavens’ sake

Song / Constant Motion
Artist / Dream Theater
Album / Systematic Chaos
Year / 2007
Lyrics :
Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul
Lost illusions of my control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night
I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I’ve found
I can never get enough
Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity
Way out of my control
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can’t let up, I can’t let go)
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
Focus here, focus there
Cannot see the light
(Falling down through the night)
Sprawling everywhere
Searching left, searching right
(Panic setting in, I can no longer fight)
When will this end?
Accelerate, dislocate
(Set to crash and burn, haven’t got time to waste)
Not planning to return
Aggravate, agitate
(When will I ever learn?)
There’s no way out of here
Nowhere to turn
Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts of neat disorder
Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again
Uhh!
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can’t let up, I can’t let go)
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can’t let up, I can’t let go)
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Can’t stop the wheels from turning
Traveling through both space and time
(You get yours, and I got mine)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can’t let up, I can’t let go)
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
