Scorerelief 2021 competition

The movie is interesting with à lot of differents climax (magic, strange, action, epic, humor) in a short time. The dog is the real hero (sort of Indiana Dog). He deserves an epic musical part !

The dog is the most important character, not just in this, in every movie where there’s a dog

Even though I had posted this on this forum, I had not registered to get the competition pack as was a bit too nervous to do it. Thanks to the kind words I have requested the pack.

I am in the exact same boat... I've never done this before but decided to try it anyway because even if I don't submit I'll learn something.
Thank you for posting!

Hey! You used the little woodblock tune too! Awesome stuff, here's mine:

Really impressive orchestration! very John Williams-esque.

Awesome competition and lots to learn from it! Loving checking out everyone's approaches. Here's my entry

 

[Rossy]

I want to listen but dont want to be influenced (and I know how good people are here so its more than a probability) Im looking forward to the outcome and hearing everyone's entry.

As an absolute John Williams fanboy this is the best compliment I could ever receive

Finally Finished - Now I can enjoy everyone else’s video. Nice contest - I wasn’t used to writing direct to DAW (I write with Dorico first) I really enjoyed this one and can now start watching everyone else’s work. woohoo

In the same boat in that I tried staying away from watching other people's entries before I finished my own. I couldn't help but to listen to the original which is absolutely stunning, lots of great entries here too now that I have a chance to listen to them!

Here's how my went...

One more ! I'm really glad I had time for this as it's the first time I try this scoring exercise. And the animation movie is beautiful and inspiring.
I chose to stick with the given instrumentation (I like constraints) although I didn't use the piano.
That was so much fun !


I listen to some other entries and there is amazing staff ! Very different approaches.

 

[fourier]

So many great clips to watch through, very impressed by the creative output!

I hope to find time to finish one myself, but there's just so few hours in a day. I wondered if you guys know if we can adjust the volume of the original sound in any way, or if it needs to be completely untouched?

I was wondering too but when I wanted to have a rather good balance between the clip and my music, it was clipping. The clip is pretty loud. If I remember correctly, I turned it down by 6dB or 7dB.
I end up with approximately -20 LUFS and was wondering if I was supposed to aim at -23 or other value...

Still a couple of weeks to enter this competition! I really enjoyed this. For anyone struggling, I just mashed my keyboard along with the video, then worked on the 1% of that mess that seemed useable.
Good luck everyone.

I reworked the dynamics on my drunk vst flautists...they must have been at the pub, which is why the mod wheel did little to no real control over dynamics.
resorted to using straight up volume automation for fades.
Anyway, uploaded again and I'm much happier with the result.
