The End of Time: An Adventure Time Edit

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, 720p x 1080p, 2024

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 is a short-form video trailer that reinterprets Adventure Time’s Lich arc through cinematic editing and sound design. Created in Adobe Premiere and After Effects, the project remixes footage and audio from multiple seasons of the series, along with select instrumental audio, to reshape the narrative into a darker meditation on inevitability, death, and nihilism.

By isolating and recontextualizing key moments, the trailer emphasizes the tonal shift within Adventure Time from playful fantasy to philosophical depth. Through deliberate pacing, sharp cuts, and a suspense-driven score, the piece contrasts the innocence of Finn and Jake with the Lich’s quiet certainty, demonstrating how editing can function as a tool for narrative authorship and meaning-making.
