SerenityStream is the source for epic films to quiet the mind and calm the soul, an ever expanding library of extraordinary visual landscapes and stunning soundtracks composed and produced by award winning composer and film maker Brian BecVar. Multi platform apps for mobile, TV and the Web allow the user to stream tranquil visual & sound environments for meditation, relaxation, stress reduction and inspiration. New films are added to the library on a weekly basis. The real beauty of SerenityStream lies in the predominant use of aerial drone footage in slow-motion combined with hypnotic sounds to give the user a “fly-through” experience. Imagery is never static, always moving with a smooth dynamic flow to brilliantly match the musical flow.
