Indy Mogul Movie Quest Feature

At War With Your TV Featured on Indy Mogul - Movie Quest

March 29th, 2012

Woooooooo :D

One of my videos, At War With Your TV, got featured on Indy Mogul’s Movie Quest YouTube series :)

They seem to have changed the format and only introduce the first clip of the playlist (which isn’t mine) rather than each one, but I still happy to see it plugged by another YouTuber :D

I am sure I will submit a few more videos to Indy Mogul, especially since the next few in the pipeline are actual short films rather than VFX tutorials. Would be great to get a few more of my videos featured on other people’s channels :)

SurfacedStudio is now online!

The unification to SurfacedStudio is finally complete

October 15th, 2011

Welcome to SurfacedStudio!

I am very excited to have completed the migration from surfacedmusic to SurfacedStudio :D
The reason for the migration was mainly to get away from the ‘music’ part of my website. Not that I am going to stop writing music, far from it. I just love so many different creative activities and wanted to have one location where I could keep and share all of them.

Recently I have gotten more and more interested in video production and special effects. I have always been an avid photographer and as a software developer by profession I love developing video games and random small tools to make my life easier. I still love to write, compose, record and mix music, but I also want to have a place to talk about and share anything else that interests me – that place is going to be SurfacedStudio :)

Here is my latest video project that I did with Fables In Fashion. It’s a dark action video clip in Underworld style. I composed the music for it and added the special effects :)

Enjoy!

SurfacedMusic now on YouTube

New music videos are finally being uploaded onto YouTube

June 19th, 2011

I have finally managed to get my (properly styled) YouTube channel online and have started uploading the first videos :D

I already have a few musical drafts online that I want to eventually develop into full songs. Since I have only recently gotten my hands on a shiny new Nikon D7000 (which can also take awesome full HD movies), the current videos are sporting a simple image and text only.

The plan is to keep uploading smaller fragments regularly while working on full length songs. For the full length songs I want to create actual music videos as well – how long this process will take I am not sure yet, we shall see.
I am currently working on a song called ‘Rise Up’ which will be my first attempt at a full music + video project :)

There are lots of other ideas floating through my head now on what I want to put onto YouTube :)
I have already picked one of those ideas and want to properly film, cut and polish it – and of course I will be making the music for it too! Hopefully I will get to film all the material I need this coming weekend!

Besides getting more into video recording (and special effects – thank you After Effects!), I have mainly been working on a proper recording plan.
I have been pretty badly stuck with my music lately, ending up with hundreds of fragments and no complete songs. Trying to bust through that block, I have laid out a strict plan to follow for the next few months.

My plan schedules the release of 5 currently unfinished songs, properly composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by October. I might end up making a small video diary for the process – hopefully recording some useful information on how to get out of a rut along the way :)

For now, here are a few of the song drafts I have already online.
For more videos, please visit my YouTube channel.
Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome :)
