The song used in this film is called “First Steps into the Future.” Johnathan Roatch composed it in 2006 with the Nintendo DS game Electroplankton, back when Nsider forums was still open. The sounds were recorded from the audio jack and mixed together on several tracks. No pitch changes or other fancy techniques were used.
The video was made in 2007, the end of Johnathan’s freshman year in a Huntington University DMA class. He originally planed to make some action-filled video game trailer, but was completely new to Flash. So in his frustration (and a fast approaching deadline), Johnathan decided to use the “First Steps into the Future” music and create a colorful music video inspired by Electroplankton. The result is just beautiful.
