There are two video versions, a 10-minute short film and an edited 4-minute version. It was produced by production company "donnelly24.com" by Anthony & Christopher Donnelly of Mancunian Gio-Goi fame. The video was directed by Colin O'Toole, cast by Graeme Brown and stars British actor Stephen Graham.[6]Warren Brown, Aston Kelly (Stephen Grahams brother), Greg Walsh & also features ex-Coronation Street actress Emma Edmondson. It was filmed in Manchester and features Graham's character talking to two young men (Warren Brown & Aston Kelly) about life and rave culture. The two young men then proceed to find a suitable venue for, what is later revealed to be, an illegalrave with deadmau5 performing as the DJ.
The video features a raver (Walsh) wearing a Kaskade t-shirt, and deadmau5 wearing a YourOwnClothing t-shirt. At the end of the video, the deadmau5 song "Brazil (2nd edit)" is mixed in as an outro. Graham was almost arrested after police mistook the video for a genuine illegal rave.[7] The video also ends with a "to be continued" title card but no video appears to have been designated as the plot continuation.
A remix of "I Remember" by FSG was included in the DJ Hero 2 Soundtrack. This version was also featured in GoldenEye 007.
"I Remember" was also featured on the soundtrack of the 2011 film The Lincoln Lawyer.[16] The song can be heard during the film when Jesus Martínez, played by Michael Peña, explains his version of the events which occurred on the night of Donna Rentería's murder.
