For patrons only - a behind the scenes look at how I created the music and visuals of Life Beyond, Chapter 1.  Creating a full 30 minutes of visuals and music in under 6 months was a mammoth undertaking, but I'm proud of the work I did, and I hope this offers some insight into how I did it. 

Enjoy this little peek and feel free to ask followup questions if you have them.  Cheers,

I would love to see more VFX walkthroughs. I’m dying to see some of your tips with Trapcode. I’m stuck on a few things

Hi, I really enjoyed this video and I want to know if everything we can see in the final video was made in after effects? Or did you use cinema 4d in here too? Thanks!

Lol it's not sound design if you use preset sound packs

Wow I can't believe you made all the music and video content for this yourself! You say you managed it in under 6 months but how big a project was this for you? Are you talking full time for 6 months? Hats off to you I am in awe of your work. Also how do you research and write up your narrative? Do you have a background in cosmology or science or are you a keen enthusiast? Love your visions and universes. Thank you!

Thanks! Hard to say exactly, probably averaged 30 hours a week for 6 months. I find research online and reach out to scientists with any questions I have. not a scientist --just a filmmaker who loves this stuff.

Great Work! How easy was it to ask scientists about the content?

Thank you! Most scientists are very responsive when you reach out and happy to talk about their passions.
