  • Scoring a film to a deadline sort of comes with the job, but to do it with cameras, lights and microphones on you makes it all the more terrifying! Today, I'm attempting to write music for a 3.5 minute animation in 1 hour. In aid of the Backup Hardship Fund, this is a free-to-enter scoring competition. I'd humbly recommend you enter if you're interested in this sort of thing.
    Donate what you can to Backup Hardship Fund here: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/score-r...
    Check out the #SCORERELIEF2021 competition here: www.thecuetube.com/scorerelie...
    Check out The Cue Tube here: www.thecuetube.com
    Disclaimer: please realise that the quality of composition will be lower when done so quickly. This film is aimed to be just a bit of fun, so no haterz please! 😅
    If you'd like to support my musical development, thank you so much. You can donate to my PayPalMe link here: www.paypal.me/dankeenmusic. All proceeds go back into the creation of my musical content. I really appreciate your support in advance!

    3.5 minutes of music in 1 hour - how hard can it be?? Thanks for watching. Just a bit of fun, this one, but for a great cause! Donate to the Backup Hardship Fund if you can!

      @Dan Keen Music - Great content! goes way above the title!!
      If you wont mind I would like to ask you, how and where would you recommend to start with beggining to composing for films. in terms of DAW , music libraries, plugins, keyboards and basically the get go. im working on windows so logic is not an option for me unfortunately.
      Hoping to hear from you ! thank you again for this video , subbed !

    Brilliant! A very brave thing to do and done so well! This competition has been invaluable in seeing how so many different people can interpret and approach film scoring in so many different ways. As someone who's just starting to get back into this, I would love to see more of how you would finalise your mixing and (maybe) mastering ready to present. You did touch on it in this, but would be great to see in more detail as that was the most time consuming bit for me. Thanks for the video!

    This is a great composition & about what I'd expect from an expert. I was pleased that you attacked the project almost exactly as I did (sync pts, click track, plethora of pads & ensembles, IR/convolution, the IDEAS, etc.), even though I have no score training & can't read music. The engineering is where we differ.

  • @dolittle6781

    Will come back to watch and listen again soon. So far so good!! An interesting method of scoring a film by basically playing the parts into your DAW as opposed to the very old school pen and paper for instance. Lots of ways to get it done. Lots of things to think about at once. Could be a very stressful job. Nonetheless I like what you are doing how you are doing it and how it sounds. Bravo!

    Not bad . Iv been playing and writing for 33 years now with 14 of those years practicing for film score and im sitting at about an average of 3 min per hour sometimes more sometimes less depending on the complexity of the scene. Finally after 30 years Im now officially scoring for films and working on my 3rd movie now XD.

  • @maxrice6990

    Very impressive for that amount of time! The composer I used to assist would set a timer and write professional-sounding queues in 30 minutes when we ran into tight production schedules. The first time I saw him do it blew my mind. When I saw 3.5 minutes of music in an hour on the video description, I assumed you were going to be doing a queue that didn't have much complexity. Expected to see lots of pads, but you scored an animated sequence with all kinds of tempo and emotion changes and a crazy chase scene. Props! Thanks for sharing!
