Sanitarium - Distant Voices

Back in 1998 I was playing "Sanitarium" and listening to the "Razorblade Suitcase" by Bush (still one of my favorite albums). I happened to notice how well the cinematics of the game fitted with the song "Distant Voices". In fact I remember trying to synchronize the video intro with parts of the song. I always wanted to create a mashup video of the two but that didn't happen then mainly because of my limited video editing resources...

Lately I stumbled upon some videos of "Sanitarium" on YouTube and the idea sparkled again in my mind. Of course I don't take credit for any 3D animation or the music. I just did some editing work to visualize what I had imagined.

Watching it now, I can say that it is better than I had hoped for - in fact I feel it's something worth sharing, that's why I'm presenting it here :)

Template Blocks: Tour

This is an advertisement created for Template Blocks, an open source visual template engine:

I had complete control over this media element, doing all the concept, processing, editing of the video and audio. A custom voice over, some commercial electronic music and a tad of post-fx work can go a long way :)

You're so bad T-Shirt

This is another T-Shirt I designed. It's yet another one of those lifestyle quotes I make, somewhat offensive some might say (but totally honest and true to say the least). The idea is original and the clipart was done from scratch in photoshop, although I had some influence from something I saw online for the back sign. I decided to open up a special store for these t-shirts at www.cafepress.com/tracend (now they are sprung across my other websites). I figured they make more meaning to be affiliated with the site I write my personal thoughts than anywhere else. I'll be moving the rest of my designs there shortly...

My Second Life SUCKS!!!

A satiric view to the (new??) trend of online 3D worlds, focusing on the unsatisfying experience they offer due to the limitations of current technology. Originally created as an entry for the Tropfest 2008 short film festival (www.tropfest.com).
