"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.

(Queen Bee)
Buzz, buzz, bumbly bee
You brought Stripes back home to me
Now we're a happy family
'Cos he's my baby honeybee

Honey, honey, honey bee
Dance around the honey tree
Buzz about, wiggle and shout
And sing this song with me

(Stripes)
Buzz, buzz, buzz bumbly boo
I've found my hive and it's thanks to you
You're the best of friends (Yes it's true)
So this what we're gonna do

(Stripes & Queen Bee)
Honey, honey, honey bee
Dance around the honey tree
Buzz about, wiggle and shout
And sing this song with me

Buzz, buzz, buzz, bop to the beat
You deserve a tasty treat
'Cos friends like you can't be beat
Here's some honey oh so sweet

(Stripes & Queen Bee)

Dance around the honey tree
Buzz about, wiggle and shout
And sing this song with me

"Mr. Eskimo" - Dramatic Short Animation



"Mr. Eskimo" - This short animation was produced about 8 years ago.

Welcome to the world of Mr Eskimo! A cold and desolate place, where the wind blows, the snow falls and fish are always on the menu... But Mr. Eskimo is tired of his sea-food diet and wants to try something more appetising. Unfortunately for him he decides to mess with the local penguins, who are less than happy with his choice of cuisine. This all leads to horrific consequences!

Sam Grice: Animation
Jon Brooks: Music/Sound Design

I composed, orchestrated and programmed this music in Cubase (Version 5.0 i think). Wow! Those were the days!
