Work: All The Tomskas [A Tribute to Thomas "TomSka" Ridgewell]
| Title | All The Tomskas [A Tribute to Thomas "TomSka" Ridgewell] |
|---|---|
| Description | This music video is dedicated to the person
who has created purpose and meaning in my life;
for my interests in creating, humour and,
expanding my determination upon being
an artistic person.
[CONTEXT:]
This project all started when I was directionless,
after graduating higher-education, and I wanted
to exercise and build my talents to great heights,
and when I was struggling to come up with
any idea to base this hypothetical project around;
I thought that the person who has given me
a reason to carry on with my hobbies, TomSka,
would be a perfect idea to revolve around.
This project has taken me the better part of
700-800+ hours to do, and has been in
production since July of 2025- on and off-,
and has by far been the most challenging thing
I have ever produced, creative-wise - working on
this project for 6-12 hours a day at times,
having my laptop broken and tampered with-
during its repair-, losing a majority of this video's
downloads and assets - but I somehow
managed to persevere through it all, and I finally
have this video to show for all of
my committed efforts.
[XTRA, FUN DEETS:]
A very wonderful part about all of this is that
I was able to show the man himself this
music video to him- in a relatively unfinished
state- at London MCM Comic Con, during May,
and managed to get 2 lovely volunteers to film
this moment, as a very wholesome archive
for myself, and other people who'd maybe
interested in seeing that - to which Tom seemed
to be very genuinely pleased and speechless
with how the video turned out:
https://youtu.be/b_9-pE7MyNE
Alongside that, I have also decided to add a few
nifty bonus features, like the Box Visuals that
accompany the audio that I made for the track,
along with each individual audio element that
make up for the audio, if you ever wanted
to have that for yourselves, along with other
random and weird media that relate with the
production of this project, hah!:

[TECHNICAL STUFF:]
Original Track:
Xylo & Cerror - All The Clichés [2010]
Programs Used:
MAGIX Vegas Pro 21 [AUDIO MIXING]
Adobe After Effects 2024 [VISUALS]
Adobe Photoshop 2024 [PHOTO-EDITING]
All of the audio and a majority of the visuals
at the first half of the video were made last year
on my laptop, which I thankfully archived,
by rendering out what I had, days before
my laptop suddenly broke; losing all of that
data on there - hence why the first half of the
video may look and sound fairly sloppy.
Programs [Not] Used:
Fruity Loops Studio [AUDIO ENGINEERING]
Cinema 4D [3D GRAPHICS]
[INSPIRATION:]
@HarkiadeI + @mikediva [VISUALS],
@jasonee12 [TRACK CHOICE]
and, @age3rcm530 [VIDEO CONCEPT]

[MY FLOWERS:]
I shall also take the time to definitely thank all of
the people who have helped and reassured me
with this titanic project- whether it was for
support, or motivation-, I don't know how this
project would've been shaped without
their presence beside me, during this production.
I'd like to thank; my friend Jae[son], for being
the first friend I made at college, and being
thoroughly supportive and endearing to the
production of this project- even during the times
when I was being a little dismissive to him
during our breaks, when I was working on this
on my laptop at the time. [sorry, Jae!]
@NEWTheOswaldMovie for being fairly critical
but reassuring with the countless previews I sent
over to her- especially with my audio, as she
always knew how to make it sound a lot more
precise and clarified - for a greater listen/watch -
along with the very lengthy list of critiques that
she gave me for improving my audio a few days
before I was meant to upload this video,
[which I did not end up doing, as I was too tired
to make any alterations to the video, at that point.]
@PhillipLeeX. for being there since the very start
of this project's creation, back in July -
and giving me very generous tutoring about
FL Studio- which I never used- and to
understand how to better equip myself with
working on this project, making me feel excited
to work on this, as he was also fond about
TomSka and his videos, as well as
his personality, and generally seemed to be
pleased and gratified whenever he'd see me
making any progression with the video-
even when I felt it got a bit redundant, hah!
@yoak for also being there since the very start,
and giving me a lot of different audio advice -
and for being so sweet, as too being
keen enough to being down to collaborate
with me, to help out with the audio- in terms of
mixing/mastering-, as I didn't feel very confident
with my abilities at that time.
Thanks, guys. |
