12-2009 The Orchestration by The German Film Orchestra Babelsberg
The orchestration by The German Film Orchestra Babelsberg is finished. The orchestra was conducted by the renowned Bernd Wefelmeyer himself. Some excerpts of the amazing soundtrack, that was composed by our musical virtuoso Steffen Greisiger, can be found in the video. In this impressive sound setting our camera microphone quickly reached its limits. Of course, the final quality of the music recordings is much better!
11-2009 Post Production: Music almost finished
We are currently working hard on the soundtrack. Hundreds of recorded voice samples, atmos and diverse sound recordings need to get finetuned, arranged and combined. Additionally, we are also working on sound design and on an unique composition that doesn't match any genre. Like our short film itself. From classical elements to electronic soundscapes. This is going to be an unique music theme for an unique audiovisual experience. Feel free to get yourself a short impression by watching our trailer! And you know what we are talking about...
