I would like to introduce my entry to the Score Relief 2022 film scoring competition. I worked on this project a lot I hope you will appreciate this piece of music. Thank you!

Cool!  Nice job.  Did you know there's is another user on this website who also participated in this competition?

You really milk all the cues in the short cartoon for all they're worth and almost every event has it's own musical gesture or mood.  Great job and thanks for sharing!

P.S.:  could we also hear the music by itself without the film?

Thank you again Peter, this is the pure music.

Very clever and enjoyable.

Well, that became a lot darker than I thought would.. loved the twist in the film. As for the music, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It felt like it gave so much life to the film. How long have you been scoring for films because the way you do it sounds extremely natural! Congratulations and I hope you do well on the competition!

Thank you MuseScience! I have been making a film and game scores for 5-6 years maybe, but I haven't participated in very many projects so far, just a couple.

What is interesting about the game will be answered here. Some other pretty attractive games like cuphead mobile are also options for you

Nice score. I' think my only complaint is it could've been a little louder and still wouldn't step on the dialogue and the winds runs/glissandi at 2:40 or so could've synced better.

However, and I know you didn't make it so it's not your fault, but I do have to rant about the clip itself. I really, REALLY, hate this trend for the last 10 or so years of making "It looks like it's for kids, but surprise! It totally isn't!"

I actually sat down to watch this with my three-year-old nephew the first time I saw the clip on YouTube and then shut it off midway through. There's really no good reason why Hollywood and co. keep doing this kind of thing. That Santa Inc. Garbage, edgy and violent superhero films, etc...

I think you did a great job of keeping the music track a "supporting player". An important takeaway is that a score doesn't have to be busy to support the scene.
