Shining PhoenixToday, in celebration of Twin Peaks starting up with a new season after 26 years, I decided to combine one of my all time favourite TV shows with my favourite genre of music. Twin Peaks, synthesized. When I was finished, it sounded like Twin Peaks if it took place in a tropical place like Miami. So I called it "Twin Palms". -------- I created the song and edited the tribute video (only using clips from the pilot episode) in a week. These actors did an amazing job and they deserve their own camera shot for a re-imagining of the intro. Since the remix I made was a synthesized eighties style, I took the footage and added some "VHS" effects to it for authenticity. -------- Like the song? Want to support my future endeavors? You can buy the high quality full version of the song on my bandcamp page! shiningyoshi.bandcamp.com/track/twin-palms-1980s-twin-peaks-theme

If you're a fan of synthwave you've come to the right place. You can buy the album in high quality on my bandcamp page! If you get the full album, you get my previous single "Twin Palms" as a bonus track! ----------------- A project that took me a year to make. I went from knowing nothing about music making to creating this project using the techniques I've learned. I would have had it done sooner, were it not for procrastination and hours upon hours of studying music and buying higher quality programs to try and make it better. ----------------- Here's to always striving for improvement.Out of Mind - The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft (Instrumental Credits)Shining Phoenix2017-12-21 | Merry Winter Solstice! May the Night Mother wrap you in her cold, loving embrace. -------- I watched the incredible Canadian documentary "Out of Mind: The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft" around Halloween. It's better than most Hollywood Lovecraft films, and Gaëtan Gravel made a great soundtrack with Serge Laforest! -------- The credits music sounded great, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So I made my own "instrumental" version without Lovecraft's narration over the first half of the song. It's my first orchestral song, but I think it turned out pretty good! -------- Like the song?

A simple taunt kill I made for the Spy, nothing special. What do you think, Snake? Pretty good? I know it looks a little slow (especially his feet) but if I made him any faster then the taunt kill would be too fast.
I wanted to dress up the spy in the Revolver Ocelot set so bad when I made this but it had horrible clipping issues when I did so I kept it default instead.
You would not believe how hard uploading to the workshop is. I started this project months ago but glitches with weapon bones slowed me down quite a bit (I actually had to redo the entire thing at one point), not to mention work. I'll try to have something special for next time.[SFM] Steam Train Animated: Burger BloopersShining Phoenix2014-12-19 | God dammit, Ross! This was supposed to be done awhile ago, but work got in the way. If people enjoy this one, I'll try to make more![SFM] Just DriveShining Phoenix2014-06-15 | A mysterious Hollywood stuntman, mechanic and getaway driver lands himself in trouble when he helps out his neighbor.
I watched Drive after playing Hotline Miami, and needless to say, I had to do a fan animation of this as well. It's really slow compared to the high octane grit of Hotline Miami, but I liked it.
This one took way longer than I thought it would, as it's two animations at once. The intro sequence was supposed to be a separate video but I combined the two together. Also importing models, maps, and custom textures from Garry's Mod into SFM is not an easy task.[SFM] TF2 Presents: Hotline MiamiShining Phoenix2014-01-31 | EDIT: Over 20,000 views in a year. Wow! Thanks guys!
April 25th, 1989. The answering machine told you to do it, or else. Hotline Miami is a game where you conduct a symphony of violence with your bare hands. Guide yourself, a young man born to kill, through over 15 action packed levels as you fight through the Russian mafia stationed in your home of Miami, Florida. There is just one question we have to ask before you start... Do you like hurting other people? ~~~ This one only took me two weeks to make, and I feel good about it. Improving is the key element here, and planning ahead with storyboarding. I re-created the original Hotline Miami Launch Trailer, which can be viewed here for those who want a comparison: http://youtu.be/UgXM7ivgYTo
As usual, thanks for watching and stay tuned for more![SFM] TF2 Presents: The Walking DeadShining Phoenix2014-01-16 | Some time around Christmas, a relentless hell was unleashed upon the world. No one knew how or why, all they knew was that no one could stop it. Join Officer Rick Grimes as he wanders through the now unholy world, meeting other survivors both friend and foe along the way. Can the human race band together and survive the apocalypse, or are we doomed for all eternity? ~~~ My first SFM animation! It took awhile, but it was worth it. Don't forget to watch it in HD, it looks great in 720p! It was supposed to be 30 seconds long, but I got carried away. Whoops, ah well. Looks better though! I already have my next SFM Project planned out, stay tuned for more!Space Jam Heroes (Quad City DJs vs Suda 51)Shining Phoenix2011-12-07 | Made this for a great amigo of mine, Turner459O. Go watch his LP's now. If a lot of people like this, I might make more! For those who want my LPs, hang tight. It'll be there before Christmas.PumpkinQuestShining Phoenix2011-10-31 | It had to be done eventually. Also Happy Halloween everybody!
