MACHINIMA

I've been producing my own Machinima both in house and with others for over three years. I have made projects in several different titles but my primary game series that I use is Halo. 

I have four controllers on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One. I have all armour unlocked for Halo Reach on four profiles and on the Master Chief Collection I have all seasonal content unlocked on two profiles. In addition to this I have access to a number of mods which make assets previous not accessible in the retail versions of the game usable. 

I take direction very well and if requested I will shoot your scene or Machinima for you. I'm a qualified cinematographer who can translate your vision and the principles of live action filmmaking to your project. I've also hosted and produced my own E-sports events know as "Arbybowls."

EDITING

My primary work is post production, i.e. editing and getting the project ready for distribution once production has ceased. I have a very fast turnover rate and I communicate thoroughly with my clientele. Whether your project has just finished shooting or you need someone to put the finishing touches, I'll get you there.  

I have the required tools to do basic assembly, intricate effects, sound mastering, colour grading, correcting and motion graphics. For more information on my work as a composer for projects I've worked on, see Music section below.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

I have done the graphic design for the majority of my thumbnails, outside of 3D work with Source filmmaker which I commission as needed. As with the post production and editing, if you're looking for a poster/thumbnail to promote your project or simple to take some pictures of your avatar, I'll be sure to capture the character of your subject. 

Depending on the complexity of the piece I can usually get one done in a matter of hours. You may send me assets you wish for me to use, tell me what you wish or ask me to use my own ideas to give you something you're sure to be happy with.

VOICE ACTING


I have a deep voice with a neutral Irish accent. I have a wide range of pitches and accents I do from my years performing as a performer both on stage and on screen. I'm generally more suited to atypical or irregular characters such as villains or cartoonish characters. 

I have my own studio at my disposal so delivery of lines are high quality and on time in case retakes or pickups are needed. With notice I can do multiple sessions if need be. 

MUSIC

I have an intermediate understanding of music composition and structure as per my time in a band and creating soundtracks for films. If you are interested in using a track of mine or want me to compose one for a project of yours, I'll require reference material or a general idea of what mood or genre you're going for. 

I mostly work out of FL studio but I have access to several instruments such as electric/acoustic guitar, Ocarina, thin whistle, bodhran (native Irish drum) and bongo. My own section of vocals my also suit as well as I am a Bass but can also provide some high pitched harmonies and wails along with harsh performances. This may also be a consideration for voice acting as well.

LIVE ACTION

While I don't consider myself to be a strong live action actor, I can provide cinematography or location sound remotely if required for a project. Details on my equipment can be found further down on my profile.

ABOUT ME

My name is Derelict and I am Irish Director and performer.
I've over a decades experience writing, directing and editing films from short to feature length, with genres ranging from comedy to drama and even horror. 

I also have some experience in music performance and composition, having composed some soundtracks for my own films as well as a few friends. I performed as a lead vocalist in a heavy metal band during my early twenties and thus have a varied palette in terms of harsh delivery in terms of voice acting.

I voice act for most of my own Machinima projects and a few friends. But I have provided voicework for state funded projects in Ireland and co-edited on feature Documentaries with Oscar Winning music composers such as Glen Hansard. 

I'm passionate about what I do and strive for a complete and quality end product. Whether it is working collaborative with a client to help them achieve their vison for a project or taking leadership on one of my own, I care very deeply about what  I do.
