[@GCLFilmMusic]

Congratulation to you too David and bravo for your wonderful score, I liked it very much!

[@ilmokorhonen]

Congratulations! You really nailed it with this one! 🙌

[@josephalexandercomposer]

Love this David. The melodies and harmony are expertly written. And the climatic reprise at the end is perfect. It's also really interesting (and insightful) to see your take on spots within the film, how tempo/dynamics etc can give a completely different portrayal.

[@hackcomposer]

Great job. In my humble opinion, I think yours was the best.

[@jakubtokarczyk]

Contragulation ! to be a RUNNER ! 👏bravo

[@DavidTregoning]

Thank you! I still can’t believe it!

[@FlowerProductions1]

Feels like you've really pushed the samples to their max here, sounds great! Good luck :)

[@tpetzmusic]

Wow this is so impressive! I loved your mood changes, the writing is excellent throughout, and that hero theme is absolutely epic. Wonderful job David!

[@adrienarnaudmusic]

Great work 🙌

[@EnlightenedByKnowledge]

I'm really liking the emotional connection you make to the picture with your music. Your sense of suspense is especially on point with the rocket ship plummeting back to earth and the two characters scrambling to fix it in their own ways, followed by your sense of triumph when it flies (albeit in its own awkward way). I wanna say that John Powell was one of your influences here (I can hear it in your thematic material and instrumentation). Overall, you've definitely earned the accolade you received here. Congratulations!

[@DavidTregoning]

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. Very perceptive on the John Powell influences, I think it’s hard not to reference him when scoring orchestral cues for animated films but yes, I was certainly channeling some JP for the action sequence and the flight sequence. 😉

[@EnlightenedByKnowledge]

@@DavidTregoningWell, I'm glad that it paid off for you. I was a contestant in this as well. Didn't make it as far as you did, though. I certainly learned a few things from listening to your instrumentation. btw, I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries by saying this, but I actually recognize some of Powell's thematic material in your work. As in, you may have subconsciously inserted it into your work nearly note-for-note.

[@EnlightenedByKnowledge]

@@DavidTregoning Perhaps this was a mistake. I'm sorry. 😔

[@DavidTregoning]

@@EnlightenedByKnowledge no no, you’re not overstepping at all. Which melodies in particular do you mean? I was only intentionally referencing JP orchestrationally so any similar melodies would be purely coincidental.

[@EnlightenedByKnowledge]

@@DavidTregoning It was the moment when the rocket ship almost hits the ground, but pulls up and flies above the clouds. The triumphant melody on the strings sounds incredibly similar to the main theme from Powell's score for "Chicken Run." I love listening to film scores, so I couldn't help but notice this. But this doesn't diminish your score at all -- you still orchestrated it yourself.

[@AshlynNicoleMusic]

Very well done!!! I'm very impressed and inspired by how you utilized samples here - good luck in the competition!

[@alareya1789]

I Keep coming back to your Entry, its just soo good, it has a hummable recognizable main Theme with Beautiful Progression throughout, the Mickey Mousing is just right, it hits the Tone Emotionally and the Executiojn from a technical standpoint is as good as they come.... The Mix is basically perfect and you manage to display a unique distinctive style throughout. Hats off to you, and as i said before i´d be quite surprised if you dont win this ;) excellent Work

[@DavidTregoning]

Thank you so much. 🙏🏻 I’ll be surprised if I do make the shortlist though, there’s been 400 entries! 🤯

[@thierrycluacompositeur1917]

Very good.!

[@peterlepahin]

Such a professional work... just wow! Perfect orchestration, sound choices and dynamics, great melodies. Good luck for the contest!

[@quetzalmarchiori]

That was difficult. Your entry has some very lovely moments, for example the intro, and the launch of the spaceship :) good luck!

[@roy-yal]

Wow this was incredible. I tried to score this as well but mine is nothing compared to this. You are really talented keep up the good work man. I wish all the best for you!

[@vinzsaint]

Sound very good, bravo. Good luck for the competition

[@KaiJenkinMusic]

Wow what a great score! Reminded me all sorts of famous scores from apollo 13 to harry potter. Amazing work

[@stephenburgess-wild6897]

Awesome, really great work,congratulations 👍

[@selenaprior]

Very impressive, great production and thematic ideas. My head was saying (as I was listening) nice, that's clever, oh yes. Good luck in the competition

[@jemmajeffery5100]

Love it!

[@alareya1789]

Congratz u made the Runners Up, see XD well deserved

[@DavidTregoning]

Thank you! I had to do a double take when my name came up on the screen 🤣

[@thomaskaasi4225]

Awesome score, David! Good job 🙂

[@CyrilBellem]

Wow, amazing composition! All is perfect for me, I'm impressed, you really deserve to win 🙂

[@DavidTregoning]

Wow, thank you!

[@seansnyman4772]

Very good work. Well done man.

[@sarahhademusic]

This is an incredible entry! Really well done! Beautiful orchestration and colour throughout!

[@DavidTregoning]

Thanks Sarah!

[@alareya1789]

damn, that is sooo good...

[@studiorayes]

Amazing job!! Best of luck 🔥

[@mikemurphy8744]

Very nicely done! I enjoyed your choice of instruments and orchestration. I think you captured the emotions and tension of every scene. We had a similar idea for the heroic dog taking command of the falling ship and regaining control. I thought it would be fun to add a waltz or ballet feeling to the dog trying to fly it - emphasizing the humor in it all. Don't know if worked or not? Great work and Best of Luck!

[@dancouper2024]

Brilliant 🤩

[@ivansabata4378]

good job!!! good luck

[@TheCueTube]

Love it, David! Thanks for taking part and for sharing your entry! Don't forget that it's a requirement from Blender to put some text at the start of the video to say that "It's a re-score by...". You'll find that in the instructions :) Good luck in the competition, David, and, also HUGE thanks for sharing the word about our fundraiser! It's for an excellent cause. All the best! Bryan

[@DavidTregoning]

Ah, ok. I’d missed that bit. Do I need to re-upload the video then? I thought that putting rescore in the title would be ok. … if I add an info card at the front of the video will that work?

[@TheCueTube]

@@DavidTregoning It's entirely up to you. It won't exclude you from the contest, I'm simply stating the requirement, the conditions of the licence if you like, from Blender themselves.

[@TheCueTube]

You're far from the only one to have missed this!

[@DavidTregoning]

@@TheCueTube Thanks Bryan, I’ll sort it tonight. Sorry I’d missed that part completely. 😬

[@TheCueTube]

@@DavidTregoning No worries easily done in the excitement and also a lot of information to absorb!

[@lovelymikeb]

Fantastic David, this is incredible. If I may ask, how long did this take you? I'm guessing the composition was one thing, but the orchestration was quite another!

[@DavidTregoning]

I sketched some melodies first - then started writing straight to picture. I pretty much orchestrate as I go. The whole process was over about 10 days, but mostly just evenings as I have another day job.

[@BarrieT]

Excellent work. Great arrangement and hit all the cues. Really enjoyed it. Good luck :)

[@DavidTregoning]

Thanks BarrieT!

[@SamSergeant]

Really nice work mate :)

[@leolebrun6301]

Дякую

[@yvanlenyvan]

It sounds so good, You got good themes going on. I'm curious, which library you're using for this ?

[@DavidTregoning]

Thanks Yvan! Yours sounds great too! Really clever writing! Thanks for your interest. I’m gonna post a video next week with isolated music, piano roll and sample library highlights. In summary Strings are Performance Samples Pacific, Brass is Cinebrass Pro & 8dio Century & Majestica, Woods are Berlin Woods, Hollywoodwinds & 8dio Claire soloists.

[@yvanlenyvan]

Well, never worked with any of those but the quality is really great. The brass in particular sound so real

[@darrenmiffitt6353]

This is insane. Please tell me you get paid to this for a living.

[@DavidTregoning]

Composing is kinda a side hustle at the moment
