WhooHoo!’s Post

The world of film scoring is constantly evolving. Those groundbreaking trends are shaping the future of film music. Preference for Textures and Soundscapes: The transition from a tonal "The Dark Knight" score to a more immersive, soundscape-oriented composition. Incorporating Environmental Elements: Such as the sound of wind in "Interstellar" or the sands in "Dune" Affinity for Percussion: There is a growing affinity for percussion in film scores, with some tracks featuring a series of percussion motives over a drone. Rise of Hardware Synths: A resurgence of hardware synths in film scoring, with many composers incorporating modular synths to create unique sounds. Creating Soundscapes from Organic Sources: Composers, like Hildur Guðnadóttir in "Chernobyl," are recording raw audio linked to the story and using it to create soundscapes and textures, adding a layer of authenticity and storytelling to the music. These trends are redefining the possibilities of film music, offering new ways to create immersive and emotionally impactful scores that elevate the cinematic experience.

Dive into the gripping narrative of my latest music video, "Take Me Back," where I take center stage as "The Guest Performer", in an 80s talk show enviroment. The plot unfolds, revealing a showdown between myself and the talk show host, who assumes the role of the antagonist, unleashing a barrage of criticism and mockery towards my artistic choices. While the audience seems to have a great time, the tension reaches a fever pitch when the host unveils a humiliating commercial from my past, painting me as a sellout devoid of integrity. But amidst the chaos, the video seamlessly transitions between the live performance of my new single and the gripping drama unfolding behind the scenes. Thanks to the visionary direction of Angel Croitor at cosmopalace. With meticulous attention to detail, Angel expertly captured the aesthetic of the period, ensuring that each scene mirrors the shooting style of the time. In post-production, Angel's careful touch transformed the footage into a seamless blend of authenticity and nostalgia. Through meticulous shooting and editing, the video emerges as a genuine segment from an 80s TV show, transporting viewers to a bygone era. From the captivating cinematography to the dynamic sound design, every aspect of "Take Me Back" has been expertly curated to immerse you in a spellbinding audiovisual experience. As the driving force behind the audio production, I ensured that each sound element perfectly complemented the visual narrative, enhancing the overall viewing experience. #videoediting #videoproduction #videoeditor #musicvideoproduction #musicvideos #directing #editing #postproduction #audiovisual #audioproduction #sounddesign #musicbusiness #audiopostproduction #audiorecording #sounddesigner #musicindustry #talkshow #talkshowhost

Let's talk about musical sound design. Here, I've designed a synth patch from scratch to provide an edgy tone and also provide texture to acknowledge the many helicopters in the scene. I started with a distorted bass sound for the edginess, and used an LFO to effect the filter cutoff to get the effect of helicopter blades chopping, and the LFO Rate is effected by the modwheel so I can perform the effect. I plan to design a few synth elements, print the audio, and chop it all up to use as sound design elements to interweave with cinematic sfx. If you're looking to level-up your sound design chops, I highly recommend setting down the microphone for a moment and see what a little digital circuit bending can help you achieve. #sounddesign #synthesis #digitalaudio #audiodesign #postproduction #gameaudio #musicproduction #musicalsounddesign #serum #synthesizer

Welcome to my latest project! Check the short film with my re-score below :) For this Indie Film Music Contest, I chose to create a deeply atmospheric and intimate piece inspired by the sense of unease felt during the first week of the COVID-19 lockdown. I carefully selected the instrumentation to evoke a profound emotional response and focused intensely on the timbral textures of the soundscape. Brief from the Director: Film Overview: “Shopping Trip,” created during the first week of the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK, encapsulates the profound worry and unease of that period. The monochrome animation takes the viewer on a solitary journey, capturing the surreal experience of a simple shopping trip transformed by the pandemic’s shadow. Scoring Objective: The score should amplify the pervasive sense of dread and the unknown, evoking the emotions felt during that unprecedented time. Your music should transport the audience back to those early lockdown days, mirroring the anxiety and tension. Structure: First Part: Accompany the protagonist’s journey to the store, building tension and culminating at the ‘heat detector’ scene. Second Part: Transition to a sense of cautious relief as the protagonist exits the store, while also reflecting on the realisation that their elderly neighbor might be in need, underscoring a mix of empathy and concern. Guidelines: Capture the emotional journey from dread to relief, highlighting the contrasts in the protagonist’s experience. Use soundscapes that evoke the eerie, isolated atmosphere of lockdown. Aim to create a score that is both haunting and empathetic, resonating with the audience’s own memories and emotions from that time. This film completely relies on your music to tell the story on the audio site of it.

You can search IMDB by Company. For instance I can see to some extent what publishers are getting placements on what shows/films. The productions don't always list music companies in the credits but generally prominent companies get listed. For instance one can see that "Pond5", which supplies a few different kinds of media has achieved several thousand placements of content across many levels of productions. It's a way to find many different kinds of music providers (and others) in ways that wouldn't normally be obvious or popular. If you see a lot of projects, that can mean some kind of blanket arrangement is at play, just another method to gauge some aspects of a company of interest.

Some fab 2d FX work in this short clip full of energy.
