The new video is up!

This vid includes a third of my Composer interview, so enjoy!

I was asked last night to shoot a video interview of myself for the HoT (Hero of Time) video series going on the movie's website. I was given questions to answer concerning the music score I did for the film.

So the interview was shot this morning and handed in for editing. I'll keep you guys updated on it, and I'll be sure to post it here when it's up on the site.

Again, thank you guys for your continued support (of at least me, even if you don't like the movie).

As promised from BMB Finishes, the new trailer for "The Hero of Time" is now released! This trailer features excerpts from the music score I spent the past 16 months working on. Enjoy! I'm as excited as most fans are.

I have not seen half of this CG until this trailer. Many scenes they gave me to score were bluescreened, so even I'm colored impressed at their work.

Note that from 1:48 to 2:38, the music there was a piece I originally did for a battle scene that was rejected, so it won't be in the film, which I'm thankful for, because the music that you WILL hear in the film, in its stead, is MUCH better.

...my new drug......

=D

I have been commissioned to score a fantasy RPG titled "Legend of Harpine", a game by Rose Skye.

Because the music is being paid for by the patron, I am not going to be uploading it here.

However, fear not, for I will be posting pieces as I complete them on my Myspace for listen (and you may also add them to your music playlists on Myspace as well), though unfortunately, downloads are disabled.

The first piece is up now, titled "Memories of Claire".

I had preordered the game "Dead Space" and just picked it up from Gamestop today.

All I can say is: Holy shit, the game is fucked up!

Not only are the graphics all-around amazing, but even the theatrical aspects of the game are just phenomenally scary, plus the game is about as ridiculously gory as the Starship Troopers movie.

If you're a survival horror fan, you must be out of your mind if you don't get this game!

If you're an Xbox360 or PS3 owner and you've never heard of this game, watch the trailer:

Hey guys.

Just updating my news page so it doesn't look like I'm never here.

I've been busy between school and work, but concerning musical things, I've been leaving my next rock song (which is supposed to kick off a new album) half-done because I came down with a nasty cold over last weekend, and while it's going away, my voice still hits a limit that will sound really bad if I tried to sing with it. One of these days, though, I'll get it finished and posted.

Still no update on how the Legend of Zelda film is coming along, but I've e-mailed the producer asking him how things're going.

OH! Almost forgot to include that I have acquired Anime Studio!! ...and before you ask, YES I bought it; I did not pirate it (I guess the word "acquire" was a more suspicious term). After watching some tutorials on it and playing with it to see how it works, I have found that much of it works the exact same way as flash, but has a different method of animating 2-D characters without having to do everything manually (like you have to in Flash). So, given that I want to eventually start producing my own animated films and miniseries (although I don't figure I'll get to ALL of my story ideas given the fact that I'm a fulltime college student who works), I've set up a new name. I was originally going to go with Blue Feather Entertainment, but I found out there is already a commercial company called "Blue Feather Productions" and in the event I want my work to go commercial, I don't want that conflict. So my production name (although I'm still keeping my custom-made blue feather icon) will be Skylord Entertainment.

Just in case you wanted to know. =p

Well, I found out that after I planned for, and was thankful for, not getting a student loan (especially when Pell Grants were sufficient enough), I was approved for a student loan at the last minute, so when my funds were disbursed, I had much more money in my student account than I should have had. I'm both excited and discouraged over this, because as awesome as it is to have more than I initially planned, that's more with interest I'll owe in the future (and I already have a $22,000 loan out for my previous years). Let's just say SunTrust owns my immortal soul and we're still counting.

Aside from that, I've started on a rock song that I just need the time and ambition to complete (after working in the hot sun for several hours, you kinda get the energy sapped out of you), which will kick off a new album that I'm titling "Shattered Wings" (which, ironically, as much as I wanted to theme the album on the thoughts of a fallen angel, I named it after the Horde guild I'm in on the Dragonblight server of WoW).

Also, concerning the LoZ film, although the score is unofficially finished, I'm finishing up soon on another scene that I was asked to do, although priority hadn't been placed on whether or not the scene gets done. There is still no official finish date for the movie, let alone a release date, but it's fairly safe to say that you fans shouldn't be waiting til 2009 to see "The Legend of Zelda: Hero of Time"; there's a high likelihood that it will be coming out before then. Also, for those of you looking forward to the film, I hear they have a few nice things planned for you guys to regain hype on the movie, although I'm not at liberty to say what they are).

It's back to the grind with the start of the Fall 08 semester. Can't say I'm looking forward to it, although I'm glad to have a part-time job to pay my bills and I'll also feel better knowing that my student loan lender cut me off but Federal Pell Grants were enough to pay for the year, so I won't owe anyone for this round. Hell, I already owe somewhere around $22,000 to SunTrust. =o

Aside from that, I'm musically in Numb Mode, where I just don't have any inspiration or ideas to run with, but that probably has something to do with the fatigue I've felt a lot lately (mostly from being out of shape and working outside at my job a lot in the hot humid Florida weather).

I will still keep you guys updated on how the LoZ movie goes when I get updates now that the score is practically finished.

I thought I had already uploaded some of my good older works, but apparently there are quite a bit I forgot about.

I've uploaded a piece I made on impulse 3 years ago, called "Eternal Rest", and a piece from my old score to "The Adventures of Hoshima" which you can read more about by reading the description on "It Torments Him".
