My second (and so far, last) venture into film scoring was for another contest, this one sponsored by CGEmpire. (Here’s the contest page.) For this one, an animated short was supplied by Ilias Sounas. This time I did better, coming in third in the voting.

My score was recorded using a harp and glass harmonica from Vienna Instruments, along with a bit of Absynth and maybe one or two other things I’ve forgotten.

Alone In Space

My first attempt at writing for film was for a 2007 contest sponsored by Sounds Online. (I’d post a link to the contest but it seems to have been taken down.) A short animated film by Zennor Alexander was provided, and the object of the contest was to write a score using only libraries sold by Sounds Online.

My score was created using EastWest Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choirs, with a tiny bit of Percussive Adventures 1 (now discontinued).

The title, The World From Chaos Rose, is taken from a Christmas Carol, and is completely inappropriate. I just thought it sounded cool.

I didn’t even come close to winning the contest. Here’s the video, so you can see why.
