Showing off some analog sounds from a pair of Deepmind synths.

Me jamming with my "blaster beam" sound on one of my keyboards.

An orchestral song that I composed. I threw on some monster clips, from one of my old movies, for some background.

Here's a clip of me tasing a guy.

Here's an old clip of me vocoding my voice.

Here's a clip of me driving. The cops added some production value. :woohoo:

That's good to hear. I have a file where I used to write ideas down, such as "A military man is helped by deceased members of his old squad." Of course, most of my ideas are more detailed than that. Honestly, I need to get back to filing new ideas, because I've had some recently, but haven't...

Way more than Action VFX. Just a quick content folder comparison. Action VFX: Big Films:

I bought their entire catalogue. Lots of backgrounds and effects. It reminds me of Action VFX (which I also have), but with a lot more elements. There is a tutorial on there that shows how to place a person (greenscreen background) into one of their environments. The guy shows how to use...

Interesting alter ego you have. Not a fan of rap, but I love electronic music. Most of what I do is for cinematic purposes. I just added that cream colored, Arturia PolyBrute 12, on the left. My rig: I also have some modular (below), as well as rack gear not seen in the pictures...

So sorry, Rick. I have much respect for your hard work. You are the real deal; a man with the Hollywood experience. I know you've worked longer days than 14 hours, back to back to back. It's a brutal industry. Thank you for sharing the reality.

I've been at the same job for 32 years. It is not industry related, but it's a Union job with pension, retirement payout, and insurance. 1st priority is to do whatever supports my wife and kids. That is non-negotiable. I've regulated filmmaking and freelancing by making it 2nd priority...

Nice setup!

Very cool. Good luck to you. I have a room full of keyboards/synths (Kronos, Nautilus, Virus TI, Deepmind 12,Akai Force, etc), that are great for musical scaled sounds. But, lately I've been getting into experimental sounds. I recently bought a Soma Lyra 8, Torso S-4, and now, the VHIKK X...
