"Box Clever" Short Animation




"Box Clever" - I scored the quirky music for this animation in 2001.  Wow, time has flown! It was part of my Masters degree in Film and Television Composition at Kingston University, London (2001-2002).

Ed Taylor produced the animation.  I was provided with a small ensemble "The Fibonacci Sequence" (1 Viola, 1 Cello, 1 Clarinet and 1 Trumpet).  It was recorded in Gateway Recording Studio, Kingston.  I conducted the music and also created the sound design.

Ed Taylor won Best Student film - Everyman Animation Festival, London, for his work on this.

It was also featured on the Sibelius (software notation) CD with my score as a demo tutorial for scoring to picture.
