Hard work by quite a lot of people tbh! We had two orchestrators on it and of course the input from NFO themselves - conductor Melvin Tay et al. Brilliant job all round but these things take some pulling together! Not to mention the mixing by NFO of the orchestra and the inclusion after the fact of the 'hybrid' elements. It's worth pointing out I think that the composer elected to pay himself to have NFO bring in some additional instruments/players above and beyond what was provided in the configuration outlined in the Score Relief instructions etc, which is all to the good and, of course, an option for anyone taking part in Score Relief etc in the future.
@@TheCueTube , thanks for elaborating! Yes, sounds like no minor effort on the part of everyone having contributed to this outstanding outcome! I do remember those I'm sort of friends with here, who have been working in the industry for going on 30 years, how at the earlier stages in their careers, they had collaborated on the score of a feature film, with the lead composer landing the gig and two more assisting writers. When time to record was around, all three travelled to the Czech Republic, Bratislawa for the orchestral recordings. They had spent days of printing the entire score for each section with multiple copies, having a bunch of machines run print jobs non-stop, which they either mailed or carried along, that part I don't clearly remember. There is a mini-documentary on their process, done by the film making brother of one of the assisting composers. That's when I learnt that for those final stages, you absolutely need a team of people collaboring on a larger project, it's totally unfeasible for one or two people only, is my understanding. The result is simply mind-blowing here, wow! One of the best scores I've listened to! It's clear now how many years of doing nothing but that or going to school for are really inevitable to arrive at this level of writing to score!
If you head over to Joseph's channel (linked in the description) and leave a question in his comments, I'm pretty sure he'll respond :) We'll try to line up a chat with him at some point and perhaps make it a live one so people can fire questions in.
Magnificent. Really. Stunning composition, and stunning performance from the orchestra. Magnifique!
Wooow! Stunning score and recording! Congrats to everyone! 😍😍
Wauw what a superb track and performance! Congratulations!

Wow, what a spectacular score and how true to the mock-up the NFO performed and recorded it, amazing work! Congrats to the winner(s)! Amazing!

Really incredible mockup and composition. I'd love to know which VSTs were used when creating it?
