Life Beyond II: Behind the Scenes
Added 2020-11-13 18:04:05 +0000 UTCA patreon-exclusive look behind the curtain to see how I made Life Beyond 2. There was a lot to talk about, so I opted to give a brief glimpse into each step of my process, from the initial concept, to visual effects, music, sound design, edit, and mix, including a detailed breakdown of how I made one of the museum interior shots. For those looking for a detailed breakdown of one of my music tracks, be sure to check out behind-the-scenes from chapter 1 here, where I give a walkthrough of the intro track: https://www.patreon.com/posts/behind-scenes-of-32226277
Enjoy, and feel free to ask any follow-up questions. More updates next week.
Peace and love,

2023-09-18 10:05:46 +0000 UTCWhat can i say, brilliant. Thank you for sharing such process, so inspiring
2022-10-12 15:55:28 +0000 UTCI was impressed enough with just the movie itself... Great job!
2020-12-10 14:13:14 +0000 UTCDude, thanks!
2020-11-25 17:34:22 +0000 UTCThank you Scott! I frequently use the 8K star maps that you can download from this page: https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/

2020-11-25 17:18:29 +0000 UTCThis was wonderful, thank you for putting this together. It's amazing to see all the work that goes into making these videos. Question, what do you use to make your starfields? Like the stary sky in the exterior shots of the museum, do you use real images or do you make them yourself from scratch? Thanks!
2020-11-25 05:47:15 +0000 UTCtremendous work! Amazing!
2020-11-23 13:20:39 +0000 UTCFilm Crux's sound packs are also really great. High quality.
2020-11-17 08:11:37 +0000 UTCThank-you so much, John, for this beautiful gift. This is extremely valuable for people who're striving for any creative path - be it music, film, or writing. Thank-you so much, again. Is it possible to share your Word file for the script? I wanna look at in detail, might wanna do Big History films in the future in your style.
2020-11-17 07:45:04 +0000 UTCThanks! Yes, I have heard of RNDR, and I will be looking into it for the next video.

2020-11-15 00:28:46 +0000 UTCThis is such a tremendous work and you are so talented ! Congratulation ! For the rendering, are you considering RNDR ? It is quite useful and cheap for this kind of project. Thank you for sharing all your talent and knowledge !

2020-11-14 21:31:42 +0000 UTCWow the amount of work involved to me is astounding and awesome, the movement of sound and film go hand in hand and now I know there had to be a lot of patience with this, thank you this is a beautiful piece of work.

2020-11-14 09:11:30 +0000 UTCThanks for the inspiration, that’s the thing I much needed this morning. It was really interesting to see some insights on your workflow. I was somewhat surprised seeing you playing on the real piano, and honestly I liked this scene so much.
2020-11-14 04:39:04 +0000 UTCThis is very cool and useful. Though I can't put my finger on exactly why. Perhaps just a sense of professionalism in the sound design I've never seen explored in a VFX BTS. The finished product is incredible.

2020-11-14 04:12:19 +0000 UTCThis was incredible to watch, you've inspired me. Thank you so much.
2020-11-14 02:41:23 +0000 UTCEach sequence has its own project file, but I do re-use a lot of the same instruments across songs to keep some consistency. I bounce down a music and sfx pass from each project file and load them into the edit, then the mix.
John Boswell
2020-11-13 23:24:41 +0000 UTCHi John! Regarding music, do you usually manage a single big project in Live with all the tracks and SFX, or you make a different project for each scene? Also, I have seen many audio tracks, so basically you bounce everything before making the final edit? Thank you so much!
2020-11-13 22:40:59 +0000 UTCYour talent is amazing. I find your process a bit overwhelming. Please keep doing what you do to bring joy and inspiration to others. You are making the world a better place and we desperately need it!
