My email inbox is better than your email inbox because I look at it backwards until it’s empty. Sort from oldest to newest. You’ll thank me.

Yesterday I spent some time with Apple’s Motion 5 software and created a brand-identity which I’ll place at the start of my demo reels.

I made the original video in Motion based on my logo, which was created in Pixelmator. Next I exported the Motion project as a QuickTime movie and scored to that clip in Pro Tools. After that I transferred my new score audio back to Motion so I could tweak the video, really bring the text to life.

I know that music is my bread & butter but I enjoy visual design. Doing my own branding is a great way to recharge myself.

Mac Power Users interview:

I am honored to have been a guest on the Mac Power Users podcast. A big thank you to David and Katie.

The only downfall to being a guest on the show? Now I can’t listen to their podcast this week or I’ll just end up criticizing myself.

(un)Professionally (un)Paid

A professional is defined as a person engaged in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation rather than as a pastime.

Paid is the key word in that definition. An unpaid professional is known as a hobbyist.

I have too many music posts on this blog and not enough text. I suck. I will work on fixing this. (Even though nobody is reading this post… let’s be honest.)
