Definitely? It’s that good?

It is so close to the Flying Ostinato that you'd think it would be okayed, but I've searched several times and I've still never found an official indication that they got permission. They could have, but I find it strange that there has never been an announcement of that from the game developers, the composers, DreamWorks/Universal, or John Powell.

@@FilmScoreandMore I agree but it's hard to believe that neither of the two composers or anyone else making the game realized it. You would think that someone would have noticed, especially considering the music plays every time you get on the mount.

@jonbrown5041 One way or another, it slipped through.

@@FilmScoreandMore as a musician myself, I can't imagine that they wrote that without knowing, everything about the leitmotif almost identical, it would be a big coincidence if they just happened to write the same thing with the same beat and drums. Idk, I think they knew what they were doing, but whether it was approved by powell (or dreamworks if they own the rights) it's hard to say.

@jonbrown5041 Another commenter said he’s known one of the composers and that he admits he sometimes writes something similar to what already exists without realizing it. He’s also a John Powell fan. I want to make a followup to this video, but there’s still no new or official information anywhere. This is still all we know.

It looks like it might be worth checking out!

@@FilmScoreandMore Update: I am seeing it tomorrow.

@MamaSymphonia Let me know what you think of it!

@@FilmScoreandMore Update #2: It was brilliant.

@MamaSymphonia Good to hear! Something like this could easily be all style and no substance.

Don’t feel bad, this is an excellent comment! I appreciate your observations. It’s really exciting what animation is starting to do here.

I think so too! I like how animation is evolving.

After a month on this video I’m a little curious about it too!

Thanks! What about the style would you like to see more of?

@@FilmScoreandMore anaylsising animation, or other small video essays on other aspects of film

@NewOrca I’ll have to keep that in mind and look into it.

Interesting! I never realized they did that, but I could see it.

Really? I hadn't heard about that award. How did you hear about it?

@@FilmScoreandMore Not since 1938 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

That was a monumental film.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but looking at the animation and to answer your question. I love it, it reminds me a little of hand drawn animation.

@@ZaidNail That means they achieved something!

@@FilmScoreandMore yeah I know but still though, it's amazing I'm thinking about watching the wild robot during the weekend.

@ZaidNail Definitely, it looks really impressive.

I support this artistic movement in animation I haven’t watched the movie but I can tell it gives off more emotions. Possibly adds more movement for the scene/scenery of the film as well

How do you mean? It's stuck in your head?

You’ve got a point about the remakes. And you’re lucky you got to go to a showing, I still haven’t been! Where did you see it? Also, nice profile picture. Are you a Lego fan?

I could see it that way.

Yes, I do it all myself! Editing takes about half the time of the process, but it still makes more sense for me to do it myself than to outsource the work. I was looking through effects in Final Cut Pro and stumbled upon that earthquake one, so I felt I should use it there. It makes a huge difference in adding intensity. It feels anticlimactic without it.

He said (I think in the same interview) he feels the same way about horror. It’s the same tension/release function, he just doesn’t find joy in it.

@@FilmScoreandMoreDo you think Pixar or Hasbro will ever hire him?

@rayanissaad5473 Pixar, maybe. But I don’t know how good he is at making toys.

I meant to score one of their upcoming movies. It could be either Monopoly, Clue, G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant, the Play-Doh movie, the G.I. Joe and Transformers crossover movie or perhaps maybe a film continuation of Hanazuki: Full of Treasures.

@rayanissaad5473 You never know. His career has a lot of surprises. For example, he’s scoring the upcoming Wicked movie. He does a lot of things you might not expect.

Really? I’ll have to look into that. I wonder why he didn’t acknowledge it. Thanks for passing that on.

@@FilmScoreandMore Please do! Given your taste in Powell's scores, I think that you'd really enjoy this one. It was the third film he ever scored; he is credited as the composer on both the album and on Wikipedia. I imagine that he didn't acknowledge it because it was such a failure at the box office. But when you listen to a track like "Chasing the Bull," it's so obviously John Powell.

@mannymarotta Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard it come up in discussions of his work, maybe interviews.

@@FilmScoreandMore I hope you listen to it sometime!

@@FilmScoreandMore Only one thing to you know, the ost of endurance is all over the place, for some reason the credits of it are very strange in TH-cam, every track has someone different in it for some reason even if it was Powell actually

Thanks, I'm glad it had an impact on you! You should definitely check out my more recent analysis, I've come a long way.

One of the things John Powell said he prefers about animation is it at least gives him an opportunity to write melodies, something that seemed to be lacking in his live action requests.

@@FilmScoreandMore Amazing. Thanks for sharing that

@martindenham2207 No problem! Those full interviews are in the description, they’re worth checking out.

@@FilmScoreandMore Cool. I love anything to do with film music

@@martindenham2207 Yeah, I always link my sources.

It’s such a weird situation.

He’s definitely good at what he does, and I’m glad he knows what he prefers.

It seems he was always heading that direction by downsizing the horn section in HTTYD 2. But you’re right, he definitely learned a lot from Williams.

I’d love something like that! And obviously I want him to love what he scores.

I'm sure he would have, if only he wanted to.

Flash, Superman, Green Lantern, and Static Shock, Plastic man, booster gold… He could do one score for any Superhero tbh lol

@@jfbsp1893 Hey, he always does a “good job.”

Yep, 25 FPS is pretty standard.

I think I've explained it in this one below, but it just means a melody that repeats over and over. th-cam.com/video/hBWhQxznEQA/w-d-xo.html

@@FilmScoreandMore Oohhh. Thank you.

It's a subtler way to open, the original does feel too dark and violent.
