Back for Another Bite
Five Nights at Freddy’s is a cultural phenomenon. What started as a simple indie horror game has spiralled into a franchise including various games as well as a Hollywood movie. For this music video, JT Music went all out.
They painstakingly brought to life Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria by building each room in their studio in Raleigh, and teamed up with Da Regular Sauce who created a beautifully realistic animatronic Freddy. Pairing that with the lighting, mimicking in-game footage and a brilliant performance from Skull resulted in a video that is definitely one of our absolute favorites!

MUSIC VIDEO
Booty BounD
Based off the game Sea of Thieves, this video was shot over two days in multiple locations.
For this production, we built three sets at a studio in Wilmington: a cave, a pirate ship and a tavern. We also had a bunch of extras decked out in pirate garb. The cartoonish performances worked perfectly given the game we used as inspiration.
We handled everything from casting through production and editing, this included the effects.
MUSIC VIDEO
MANDALORIAN RAP
Based off the hit Disney+ show, The Mandalorian, this video was a blast. The concept is simple: the Mandalorian is a single parent, just trying to find others like him. He finds some dads, they grill, they golf, they pay taxes, he shows them his spaceship - typical stuff. Plus a puppet Grogu is in it, and he’s cute as heck.
MUSIC VIDEO
RIde or Die
Based off the game Red Dead Redemption, we wanted to shoot this video like a classic spaghetti Western.
So the Wallaby team packed up and headed down to a Texas ghost-town to recreate some scenes from the game. We used blanks, squibs, brilliant set design and wardrobe and vintage Hawke anamorphic glass to bring this project to life.
PRODUCTION
We’ve done way too many videos with the JT team to show them all here.
