Savvy commercial visualization specialists Cheerful Scout (London) recently hired The Fauxharmonic Orchestra to compose and produce an orchestral film score for one of their client’s major promotional efforts.
The full symphonic score accompanied a five-minute promotional film highlighting the firm’s impressive large-scale construction projects around the world. Heavy use of CG effects to bring blueprints, models and photos to life called for musical material to emphasize the magical act of creation.
Cheerful Scout CEO Peter Litten exclaimed “I absolutely love it! It’s one of the best scores I have ever had composed for anything. Inspirational, clever, witty and altogether fabulous.” The Fauxharmonic’s custom-composed score outperformed library music, which could never have closely and effectively matched the wordless story arch and vignettes in the film. Yet, as Mr. Litten noted, “to be able to use orchestral music [was] previously a luxury completely beyond my wildest imaginings!”
