Crafting an Epic Synth Score for a Fake Movie Trailer! 🎬🎵
Have you ever dreamed of making your own movie trailer? I did! This video takes you on a journey of creating a fake sci-fi trailer complete with a custom ambient/drone score made with just ONE synth!
Let’s dive into the world of movie scoring as I compose an intense soundtrack for a trailer that exists only in my imagination! Using just my trusty Roland Aira S-1, I’ll guide you through every step of the creative process.
From sourcing free footage on Pexels.com to crafting a narrative with AI and shaping it in Capcut, you can watch as I go through the whole creative process.
With inspiration as my guide, I challenge myself to craft a score that becomes an integral part of the cinematic experience. From composition to mixing, every sound has to align seamlessly with the on-screen action.
This video is perfect for:
- Ambient/Drone Musicians who want to try scoring
- Filmmakers on a budget
- Anyone who loves epic sci-fi vibes
So, join me on this creative voyage as I share with you the making of a score for a movie that exists only in our minds. Get ready to be transported to a world where anything is possible!

[@rafalvarenga]

[@racktooblatch2273]

Broo I’m sooo inspired by the s1. The fact that i can use it everywhere is a banger. Going from sounddesign to midi sequencing.

[@clarenceoveur9497]

"I knew zero about movie scoring before this" Don't worry, that's the case with 99% of today's working "composers".

[@david_davinci]

Wow! That was actually really good! I mean super cheezy but in a good way. I have always wanted to do movie scores and you may have just inspired me! Also I can't believe you get all those big voices out of those little boxes. Just proves the point of it's the master not the tools...

[@jaimeross7507]
