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...

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! 😅

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!

@dani_da_vision 2 года назад

@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 !

Awesome! I was told a while back I need to be in the film scoring industry. This is really inspiring!

It's always fun to see other people's workflow. Especially because it oftentimes presents an opportunity to see how you can learn/improve! Awesome job!

@PierreVonGuersing 2 года назад

Man, this is just a 1 hour masterclass! Thank you so much for that! You are very talented.

@nickmack1976 3 года назад

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!

Congratulations on everything, Dan: this video in particular (and the great music you brought to life), the content on the channel, and your sampling work with Pianobook. Keep on doing you, best wishes!!

@jimrogers7425 2 года назад

EXCELLENT JOB, Dan! Thanks for this video and all of the libraries that you used to create this track! I learned a lot from watching you work.

@MrEMann Год назад

This was so amazing to watch. I learned so much, including how important it is to have a mastery of your daw. Your work flow was very impressive. I tend to get bogged down in the technical process and then the musical inspiration gets lost. Thank you so much!

@amarachidesi 3 года назад

Never would’ve imagined watching this entire one hour video, but I did... it was very cool to see your process compressed into one quick hour and creating music on the spot. Loved to see the ideas flowing and you just running with them... interestingly enough, now I know to add an intro into my music... overall, COOL!

@troyaddie 3 года назад

Thanks Dan! really well done. As I could not do this one, it was great to at least watch it be done with a masterful, with ease approach. It takes me half a day to create edit points!

@blackchisel97 2 года назад

Watching your workflow kept me on the edge of a seat till the end. Very inspiring and I'd certainly welcome more videos of that kind from you. Awesome!

@rene.rodriguez Год назад

It was amazing watching you create that! I’m impressed with your talent and stamina. Working against the clock like that adds stress to the creative process. Thanks for sharing your process.

@zoaltamam 2 года назад

Awesome! Just amazing! I’m learning orchestral programming these days and have a special taste for Spitfire products, and been watching a ton of videos lately. This one is by far one of the most interesting of all. Not a single moment of boredom my friend, watched the whole thing in one sitting. Thank you so very much

@Julzantoine 3 года назад

Wow! This is really great to see your workflow. My entry took me almost 4 days to be composed and produced, and now i see you doin' it in one hour. That is amazing and really enriching... So much to learn ! :) Thx for your video

@DeanBothaMusic 2 года назад

Man, watching your workflow is amazing. I’m an absolute noob when it comes to compositions. It’s something i always wanted to get into but never die until now. I’ve been playing guitar for 17 years and it’s exiting to start this additional chapter. Channels like yours are invaluable for people like me.💪

@rlbates13 3 года назад

Awesome job Dan! As a hobbyist composer whose biggest struggle is getting the first note written, I appreciate any insight into someone else's composing process. I'd definitely watch you live stream this sort of stuff!!!

@MAGA-SISU 2 года назад

Very enlightening. Very talented. A great example of massive amount of layering without becoming muddy.

@digitale93 Год назад

Excellent work. Amazing! I've been searching RU-vid trying to find someone that doesn't score big-budget films. Yours was so inspiring. I found a new passion.

Oh my god this was AMAZING. I got chills so many times, your talent is incredible and your score was absolutely exceptional. You are so so so very talented, and please make more of these! I subbed!! 😁

@alberthenningsenruberg3937 2 года назад

Dan this was absolutely mindblowing to witness!! started my scoring journey half a year ago and this was one of the most informative videos i have ever found in terms of peeking behind the curtain of scoring film. thank you for this! youre so talented.

@ricgus3 3 года назад

So inspiring! Learning so much from watching this! So smart to re use the intro! Both for the listiner to feel the sense of familiarity and also as a time saver!

@FalconePhil 3 года назад

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.

@lh2227 2 года назад

Thank you very much Dan for this video! Very informative and helpful! Great composition, I love it! I think it really serves the narrative of the movie...

@NickSchiller 2 месяца назад

Great work Dan. I really love the chasing bits of the music. So good 😃

@maxrice6990 Год назад

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!

@PocketSunlight 3 года назад

Always good to see someones working methods as there is always something to learn. I’d already done mine before I saw this but thanks for sharing. Good luck

@bonuebonue 3 года назад

Hi Dan, you made it wonderfully! Very interesting and impressive to see such a speed in the creation process! I tried and took me a long time to distribute my ideas in the timeline and match the timings (finally I gave up because I had passed the delivery time limit :-). And you made it in ONE HOUR!! WOW!!! Would love to see some live streams from you, I think we all can learn a lot from you! Keep the wonderful work and stay safe! Best Regards Christian

@dunkfall Год назад

Amazing job man - can definitely hear some Radiohead influence in that main motif that comes through more clearly in the naked piano part around 56mins for sure - that’s never a bad thing though. 😜 It’d be great to see you do a post talk through/ breakdown of parts of the process here so you’re not having to think about explaining why, how and what when you’re in the creative zone and under a hectic time restraint! Will definitely watch more of your content - impressive!

@RedimAmeti 3 года назад

Incredibly helpful mate! A livestream would be very welcome. I’m in Australia so unsure if time difference will mean I miss it but I’d definitely tune in to watch the video afterwards :)

@samshrimpton407 3 года назад

Great job Dan! Had this on in the background while slogging through creating a big old template. Some really nice moments in there, and the end result is far better than you give yourself credit for! Better than anything I could have done in an hour, thats for sure! Really enjoyed this format of putting yourself against the clock too, I definitely learnt quite a bit 🙂

Great job Dan... so pleased I didnt watch before uploading and completing my own effort ;) Not sure I'd have ever felt confident enough to press that upload button. It was really interesting to see how you approached each segment. I tend to start with a piano improvisation but will perhaps start to rethink my approach... thanks again!

@MrAdisep 3 года назад

That was really impressive and the final result goes flawlessly with the film. I loved it. I would be very interested if you could explain what's your process to decide where are your hit points for entrance and exits and how you decide what tempo changes are needed. That would be awesome! Thanks a lot and keep doing those great videos :)

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.
