"The Dancing Pumpkin" on Vimeo on Demand

I'm very excited to announce the release of "The Dancing Pumpkin and the Ogre's Plot". The Dancing Pumpkin is a 45 minute animated children's Halloween special. It features the adventures of the title character and his band of pumpkin friends as the set out to prevent the evil ogre Finkgrinder from hosting a monster clinic to teach monsters how to scare children.The film was written/directed by Eric Pearson and produced by Silver Hammer Studios. It is available now for rent or purchase on Vimeo on Demand.I wrote a very fun and adventurous orchestral score for the film. It was a rare opportunity to go truly grand and all-out in true animation score fashion, and it was one honestly of the most fun projects I've ever gotten to work on! It's not often you can write big orchestral music without worrying about being over-the-top, but in the case of an animated film like this one, the bigger the gesture the better.Here are a few excerpts from the score:[soundcloud id='137775021' comments='false' artwork='false' playerType='html5'][soundcloud id='166417652' comments='false' artwork='false' playerType='html5'][soundcloud id='162856566' comments='false' artwork='false' playerType='html5']
