APPLICATION

Audio
If available I was applying for the position of Sound Director, being in charge of organizing and compiling all contributed audio and (doubling as Engineer here) preparing it for in-game use. I also wanted to play the role of composer for the game in which I would be composing music and ambient tracks to boost the excitement of gameplay.

EXPERIENCE : I have my own home recording studio where I've both composed my own music and recorded the music of others. I am skilled in engineering when it comes to editing, preparing, and mixing final tracks. My mastering skills are moderate but workable.

I have my own band that consists of two members (myself and my friend Dustin) called Dreadstar, where I compose all of the music and Dustin writes all lyrics and sings all lead vocals. I then move on to mix the entire track on my own.

I have acted as producer for a few local rappers, where I compose (compose, not sample) the music and then record their vox, followed by mixing and mastering, all the way down to CD production of their demos.

I have also scored a few choice games, as well as recorded and engineered for a couple of local voice actors.

Portfolio of Audio
http://www.starcloudproductions.com is my portfolio website where you can find examples of my work.
You can also find more examples at my band website here : http://www.dreadstarband.com

Here are a couple of links to other examples not found on the main site :
Takran Online soundtrack
Takran is still in development at present time.
Hip Hop examples
All music and engineering by me. Main rapper - Phabious Brown. Support MCs on "Get Loose" - Alonzo and Constantine

Also, go here : http://www.willyums.com to see a friend who is trying to build his skills as a voice actor. I recorded, engineered, and prepared for demo his examples. They're a little weird, but still an example.

Graphics
If time allows, I wouldn't mind lending some of my graphics skills. I'm Photoshop Certified and certified in layout design. Down the line and towards the end I could help out with packaging design and advertisements, but in the mean time I'll lend a hand with anything you feel you could use me on.

You can see some examples of my graphic work under the VISUAL heading on my website : http://www.starcloudproductions.com

Keep in mind that I am not yet skilled in low poly modeling for games. I can do a little bit of modeling but my skills are nowhere near phenomenal. However, as a current student, I plan on focusing a lot of energy on 3d design.

GAME EXPERIENCE
TAKRAN ONLINE - Composer, Prop Modeler
KINGDOMS AT WAR - Sound Director, Composer, Concept Artist, Weapons Modeler
NINJIN - Co-Designer (game is still in planning stages)

EXTRA NOTE : I am skilled in web design. Master of HTML and mildly skilled in CSS. Not much more than that, but I may be able to contribute in those areas if needed.
www.starcloudproductions.com and www.dreadstarband.com are close to the extent of my current skills on that.

Thank you for your time.
