My bro's new company!

So my brother has started his own company called Vision FX.  All I can say is that it's pretty awesome, he's very talented and I'm super proud of him. It is a company that assists film-makers and video production companies to realize their creative vision through visual effects, 3D animation and digital compositing. He will be updated a demo reel soon! 
Please check out his Youtube Channel and keep on eye on Vision FX!!

Blue Mountains


I went to the Blue Mountains for a 2nd time. Checked out Katoomba again and then the next day Wentworth Falls. My favorite was taking the Charles Darwin Walk in Wentworth Falls. It is absolutely stunning! Initially the walk is a quite peaceful nature trail with a flowing river and some small waterfalls. Then Boom!!! This pops up! 
All I can say is that the Blue Mountains is definitely worth seeing!! Not to mention it's a pretty good workout (walking steep steps right on the edge of cliffs). One of the best experiences so far in Australia!

Hello again, new video!!

Hello everyone!
I haven't written in my blog for a really really long time! First of all I find it a little difficult keeping up with posting things on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram etc. that I thought what is the point of blogging when there are all these other social media outlets? Long story short I'm going to try to write a bit more and post what I'm up to.
This post is about a live music video that I just released a few hours ago on Youtube. I think this one is pretty special because it's my very first video recorded performance of a cover song! I haven't done many covers unless I was busking or performing more cover gigs. I'm trying to focus more on my own original material. Also since I'm currently living in Australia I thought it would be cool to do a cover song from an Australian artist. When I heard this song for the first time I was thoroughly moved by it. When I saw and heard live acoustic performances of Sia singing this song I was like, "holy crap this is so powerful!!" That is when I decided I need to cover this song its so beautiful. So with the help of the awesome videographer Shawn Burgess, we filmed this video by the fountain in Hyde Park, Sydney. It was a little chilly hence the scarf and jacket but it was a pretty fun and unique experience. I hope you enjoy the video, here is the link :)
