Trance Music Adds Little Flair to Jonas Moore Mash-Up Promos

Factory Publishing launched a contest for The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore, an online graphic novel with a Matrixy premise that revolves around a United States controlled by – get this – British gamers.

Jonas Moore fans can mash up, remix and otherwise stir the soup of various graphic novel media to create their own music videos.

To demonstrate that all’s well on the CGM front, Factory sent us this recent montage put together by an artist called Emeson for his song Maybe We Energise.

The song has its moments and the tame, carefully-selected imagery is occasionally cool, but the whole thing rings too much like an agonizing 20 minutes spent watching a video collage at somebody’s wedding: self-indulgent, too long, and uninteresting to non-fans.
