Greetings! I’m Sam Dillard, a.k.a. “Samo Studios” as I’m pretty much a one-man
production team whose existence is divvied up between making music, artwork & 3D
animation, video editing, game design, story writing, and Chinese martial arts.
So yeah, as you may have guessed, I basically I have no life. XP



I am entirely self-taught in visual and musical art; I was drawing from the day
my fingers could hold a pencil, learned how to play music on keyboards as a
child and eventually figured out how to use computers to link everything
together and become a primarily digital artist in my early teen years. These
days I focus on producing high quality remix albums of my favorite games, while
plotting world domination.


FAQ SECTION: HOW DO I PRODUCE MY WORK? WILL I REMIX THAT ONE GAME? MEANING OF
LIFE?


ALL THE ANSWERS!

SOFTWARE I USE

Cakewalk Sonar, Winamp, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, 3ds
Max, Mari, Clickteam Fusion, Notepad++, Steam, Secret World Hacking Program

WHAT GEAR I HAVE

Just a custom built PC, my twenty year old Roland XP30 keyboard, and some
speakers

WHAT KIND OF WORK HAVE I DONE

Film soundtracks, game soundtracks, graphic design, studio logo animation,
visual effects compositing, titles & editing

DO I MAKE CUSTOM REMIXES

Sure, though not for free these days due to time constraints. I occasionally
branch out from themed albums and release random tracks or medleys from various
games though.

WHAT MARTIAL ARTS DO I DO

My main style is Xing Yi Quan five element boxing and Tai Ji Quan; I am an
assistant instructor and help teach self-defense, bio-mechanics, and health
aspects of internal arts.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FACTS

I have a turtle. Her name is Turtle. 







My favorite games are Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, A Link To The Past, Megaman
X

My favorite movies are Aliens, Jurassic Park, Star Wars OT, The Matrix

I have lots of cats

Texas weather is whack

The meaning of life is 42
