The Stage 32 Videos: Film Composer

Scoring to picture is one of my favourite parts of composing, and projects like this are a great way to experiment with storytelling through music.

This is a personal score-to-picture exercise based on a scene from Pixar's Up. The original music has been removed, and I composed and produced an entirely new orchestral score to explore how music can support character, emotion, and storytelling. This project was created as part of my ongoing development as a film composer and reflects my approach to writing music that serves the narrative while respecting the pacing and emotional arc of the scene. Original film footage belongs to Disney/Pixar and is used here solely for portfolio and educational purposes.

A music piece is the best gift to the composer
