I created the YouTube Channel Film and TV Without Music in 2024 to explore the naunces of acting and dialogue.
This channel came about through advancements in AI. The website vocalremover.org is very proficent in removing music from a Film/TV scene to the point where dialogue is very clean.
My process in choosing scenes for this channel is finding scenes that have both powerful dialogue and great acting.
I have covered Films such as Barbie, Star Wars, Spider-Man, The Whale, The Lord of the Rings, Turning Red and The Shawshank Redemption.
I have covered TV shows such as Sherlock, Doctor Who, Fleabag, Breaking Bad, Ted Lasso, Lessons in Chemistry, After Life and The Leftovers.
I created the YouTube channel Games Without Music during the 2020 lockdown to explore a new way of experiencing video games.
This channel explores the nuances of both sound design and voice acting simply by turning the music off in a game's audio settings.
If you're curious about the impact this change has on a game, check out the Without and With Music projects here. These projects cover Marvel's Spider-Man PS4, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, The Last Guardian and The Last of Us: Part II.
I've covered over 50 games on this channel. All these projects can be found here
This channel has been used as reference material by sound designers and music composers around the world.
It has also been used as an educational resource in schools and universities that teach music.

Fintan Davies
I created the YouTube channel Fintan Davies initially to showcase my game design skills.
The first videos I made showcased puzzle games I made levels in such as Portal 2 and OCO.
I also made videos about two game design school projects.
One was for a game called 'Redemption' that had storyboards, voice acting, sound design and gameplay. The other was a puzzle game prototype exploring accessibility.
After I graduated from my Game Design Masters Degree, I made a new series called A Soundtrack's Impact. This series explores the impact of a Film/TV Soundtrack by isolating it alongside a scene.
I've covered Inside Out, Game of Thrones, Spider-Man, Up, Sherlock and more.
I also make random videos for fun like a compilation of The Best Moments of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and a Doctor Who edit about Love Being Where the Heart Is.
