Completely unrelated to music, but....

Post by VanderBoegh » Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:15 am

Some of you know that I got involved in bodybuilding last Spring, kinda on a whim (I know, very random!). I made a few videos chronicling the transformation and process, from Day 1 all the way through three physique competitions. And of course, when making these videos, I used all my own music. Which was rather hard, because I needed to use things that weren't tied up in exclusive agreements, and I haven't signed any music non-exclusively for about 4 years now. But it was very fun to approach a project from the editor's end, where I got to choose music that worked, chop it up for timing, move around stingers for impact, and accent the emotion I was feeling at the time with music. I would recommend a video project like this to anyone, because it will give you a whole new respect for how the arrangement (edit points, spacing, and stingers) of a cue can make a world of difference to an editor.

Anyway, here's the videos:

That is impressive. Thanks for sharing your journey. The kind of discipline this took is the same kind of discipline you say it takes for success with music (except 5 years instead of 5 months!). Way to go, Matt.

Not sure if I'm impressed more by your efforts, or your underwear collection. ;)

Damned good work, my friend.

Damn, that's quite impressive. I too am on such a journey, but the abs are still buried under the gut. We'll get there! :)
