Hi Jonathan. Great piece. Love listening to your works, the journey is very inspiration. Might I ask how you make the video animation of the score? It looks wonderful! Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Hi Emil, thanks for listening and enjoying my journey! 🥰 I get asked often about the score animations actually, so much so that I'm thinking after the project finishes and I have a little free time in the new year, I'll post a tutorial on this channel! The short answer for now is that I export a PDF from my notation software (Dorico) and then animate it scrolling in After Effects (though I believe basic video editing programs will have this functionality) set to an export of the music. And then I add a background and text elements where needed. Unfortunately it is a bit manual and time-consuming which is why I generally got behind with the renders - the longer the song and more notes in the composition, the more I have to manually keyframe pauses so it syncs up. I wish there was a more automatic or simple answer for that part but unfortunately I haven't found one. Hope that helps for now, and Merry Christmas to you as well!
