Music for Varun Sethna's AM Class 1 Showreel

I've had a blast creating a cue for Animation Mentor student Varun Sethna's class 1 show-reel. He wanted a big band-ish track and that's not something I normally would make, so it was really cool to try to tackle something in that style.

Here's Varun's showreel with my music:

"The Stalk, The Chase & The Kill" - Action Cue

I just finished the second cue for a student project I'm currently working on. This cue is scored to pictures of a lioness stalking, run off to chase and eventually catch and kill a wilder beest.

The Two Prides - Theme

I'm currently working on another student project scoring a wild life documentary. Here's the first of two cues I'm working on for this project

Score for "Nell the Narcoleptic - Asleep on the Job"

I recently had the great pleasure of scoring the animated short "Nell the Narcoleptic - Asleep on the job", directed by New Zealand based Belle Barber and Linden Kirkby.

It is a really wonderful little film with some great characters and I'm truly proud to have contributed to it.

The film is submitted to several festivals, so I'm not able to show it yet, but stay tuned, as soon as it's released I'll post it here.

In the meantime, here's the score I did:

"Forever Young" 500 000 Views On YouTube!

My 2007 Animation Mentor short film, "Forever Young" has reached 500 000 (and counting) views on YouTube. Amazing!

The Mummy Awakens

I just finished a 5 minute score for an animated tv show as a student project at ThinkSpace Music for the Media. Unfortunately due to copyrights I can not show the film, but here is the score I did.



I had a blast working on this. It was very challenging with lots of hitpoints and "mickey mousing", but in terms of syncing music to picture this was an invaluable learning process.

Superman March Mockup

Another mockup of one of John Williams' stunning pieces. Learning a lot from doing this :)



"Raiders" next :)
