SPRING | Reorchestration for

Hey everybody! Starting off 2021 with a composition contest!
I'm actually really excited to show you this, not only because the guys from The Cue Tube built a great platform to find some amazing unscored clips to orchestrate yourself, but it's also the first time I've ever orchestrated a real movie scene! Score Relief is also raising funds for people in the UK, which are affected by the pandemic, so it's also for a good cause!
There are so many things I've learned by just listening to the movies I watch. For example Disney movies taught me to orchestrate movements and ask myself the question: What sound does a grinning dog make? Or what instruments should I use to make these gigantic trees seem even heavier? I tried to time the music to the movements on screen like the trees awakening and their stomping in the chasing scene.
Coming from popmusic songwriting and listening to John Williams on the other hand taught me how important it is to have a clear melody and leitmotifs. In the beginning of the movie the girl plays a melody on the trees sensors(?), which happenes off screen in this version of the film, but it is a clear melody, which I tried to incorporate in the score. It's played by the woodwinds whenever the girl "activates" her stick. The oboes also play the melody in the background once the tree guys start to walk out of the foggy valley.
Also the lack of speech made me wanting to give the trees an organic "voice", so I recorded a hell load of "Hummm"s to give the greatness of the trees the honor they deserve. You can also hear some percussive "huh"s in the chasing scene.
I really hope you like my take on this beautiful movie scene made by the Blender Foundation guys. The visuals and the sound design of this short film is just breathtaking with so much attention to all the tiny details. You should also check out the original version of the film!
For now I wish you all a happy new year and see you soon!
Love from Germany
Andreas

Fun fact: I made this song only with free plugins like BBC Symphony Orchestra, Project SAM Free Orchestra and Djemko and Ferrum Free for Percussion!

[@navinormusic]

wow!

[@Nico-mt8lb]

Proof that a good composition doesn't require expensive vst to sound great.

[@floopaldoopal]

ah cool I've always wondered what you used. this looks like a showcase I saw for blender awhile back

[@MartinHeidenreichMusic]

Real good job! It sounded familiar from the beginning, now I know why :) Subbed

Thank you!!

[@Julzantoine]

WoW! Thats cool! I heard the sounds of samprojects Free orchestra but i didnt know « ferrum percussion ». Did you use a kind of a taïko ensemble ? Anyway, the « chase Scene » is great, and it is interesting to see how you treated the « dogs catching wood » climax, and what come next. Bravo! I would enjoy a feed-back of you about my entry in the competition! (See my Channel)

[@andreaszoeller]

Thank you so much! For the taikos I used a free library called „Djemko“, which consists of tuned down Djembe samples! Gonna check out your entry too!

[@ZlakEdoras]

Hey! This is a really nice composition, the most beautiful thing for me would be didgeridoo + vocals when the shard slowly comes down in the first scene. And also the tempo rise after the doggo stops the shard from falling in the valley is soo good! All the best with the competition! ✌🏻 I've made my submission too, do watch it if you get time 😁

[@andreaszoeller]

Digeridoo! Well that's creative, it's actually only my voice! :D I'm very happy you like it, gonna check out your entry as well! Thank you!

[@streetcube-x3h]
