Visualise This

This is not really a visualisation, but I wanted to post it anyway. It's a fun little parody sketch I wrote and recorded years ago in 2016, but haven't fully sound engineered until now.

Here's one of my first visualisations, remade with BANGBANG CLIPCLOP KABOOMS, by which I mean immersive sound effects and music.

If you've played D&D, the most popular tabletop roleplaying game in the world, you've probably cast fireball at some point. It's an iconic spell. But what would it actually feel like to create fire from nothing, shape it into a missile, and obliterate anything from orcs to castles, to double-parked SUVs? 

I'm enjoying the heck out of doing more sound engineering on these visualisations. I hope you like them, too.

Welcome to Season 2! 
Over the past 15 episodes I've really enjoyed getting my voice recording and mastering right, as well posting the amazing work of Tanyth Withers. Go check out her yoga biz on insta, @yogawithtanyth!

For season 2 I've finally pulled the trigger on a sound effects and music library, and forthcoming episodes will be much more immersive, which I hope will make the visualisations even clearer in your mind. 

Obviously, sound effects libraries aren't free, and neither is hosting Visualise This. 
If you'd like to help me make more visualisations, the best way to help is to leave me a good review on Apple iTunes, or support me on Patreon.com. Every little bit counts. :P

We're back after a quick break to have a baby.

Between SpaceX, Spaceforce, and continued interest in heading to Mars, I've been watching a lot of space movies recently. I thought a trip to the moon would be fun to write and record. It was, but it also took a lot of work, because it's real science, history, and technology that requires research. Hopefully I got everything right. Enjoy.

I'm a long time Dungeons & Dragons player, and truly believe that it's had an incredible influence on my creative career. My friends and I would get together every week on Sunday, order some pizza, and practice train our imaginations, tell stories, learn to act and improvise, and generally have a great time. 

As we all grew up, we moved away from each other, sometimes to different countries, and traditional D&D, with 5 or 6 people sitting around a table, got harder and harder to organise. 
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we've switched to online platforms to play, and suddenly D&D is back. I'm looking forward to writing and recording lots of visualisations that play in this highly imaginative world. It's not everyone's mug of ale, but I think even those who aren't into fantasy should give it a try. Who doesn't like the idea of blowing stuff up with magic or superpowers?

If you'd like to hear more of this kind of visualisation, please let me know by commenting on the episode on our Instagram feed, under the username @visualise_this. I upload episodes to both channels, using IG stories. You can also suggest ideas and chat to me by becoming a patron on patreon.com/visualise_this. I've got a few different tiers up, including "Concert Lighter", "Molotov", "Moonrocket", and "Your very own flame".  The names are pretty random.

Another beautifully calming episode from Tanyth Withers. The writing is evocative and I find the occasional rumble of the passing trains in the background very calming.

Ever wanted to run away and join the circus? Now's your chance. In this visualisation, you play the part of The Phoenix, a high-wire artist. Enjoy. 

Good news everyone! I've set up some tiers on my Patreon account at www.patreon.com/visualise_this. For a single dollar a month, you can join the "Concert Lighter" tier, where you can vote on the next visualisation I write and record. 
I've also got a "Molotov" tier, where you can toss a flaming idea through my window, a "Rocket to the moon" tier, where we work on a visualisation together, and "Your very own flame" tier, where I make a visualisation that's just for you.
