the "unofficial" Herman Witkam webthread

[Ted Arabian]

Herman Witkam is an amazing composer who feels the film's vibe and lays down a score that compliments the scene to perfection. He knows exactly how to carve out your feelings, with music. It is amazing. And Herman Witkam is brilliant!

(and he's fast! Did my score in less than 48 hours! Maybe even 24! That was a blurry time for me!)



So,

Who did the music for you film?

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Couldn't agree more!

He's the man.

Cheers,

 

[Charlie Anderson]

Brandon Walker did mine, he did the music for Chinese Food on Christmas and February's Here

 

[Ted Arabian]

Cool! I am really looking forward to your entry, Charlie. Love the story and the style.

 

[Robbie Comeau]

I got Phil Anderson. Did a great job at it to!

 

[Zak Forsman]

Herman rocks! he even posts at sabiforum.com!!! pretty awesome hearing his insights into music composition and sound design.

We had a relative unknown do ours. Some guy named Justin Durbin...:cheesy:

I believe that Herman did the score for Threading the Needle, though.

Justin is also very awesome! :thumbup:
Very talented guy...

the only music in my film is a song sung by the lead. but i hope to have Herman work on one o my projects down the line.

 

[Chris Messineo]

I didn't get my film done on time for the contest, but just wanted to add (having worked with Herman twice in the past), he is awesome.

Some really great local bands kicked in a few tracks for my entry.

 

[totitefilms]

I used the music from Kevin McLeod and scored it myself Kevin's website is incompetech.com

 

[Robert Eldon]

I've heard a lot of stuff from Herman, and it sounds great!

We had the extremely talented (and very busy these days)
Justin R. Durban (aka Edgen) do the music for "The Arrangement".
Justin's music really sets the tone for the movie at just the right places and adds an additional layer of emotion to the moving images.

Cheers to all of the composers!

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

never had the pleasure to work with Herman. But I did find a really talented composer named Michael Dobbins, and I tell ya, he was FAST and efficient and really good. I think he's joined the board, so keep an eye out for him.

 

[Herman Witkam]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the thread!

 

[Edgen]

I was wondering how many films you scored, Herman. (hence the poll, LOL!)

Justin, great work on your part of the festival. The score for WTHL is awesome! :thumbsup:

Herman, thank you again! You really, REALLY helped me out. I'll be at your door again! And hopefully early enough to get you for sound design!

.......

All you composers ROCK!

Herman is the man i know

I wanted him to score my latest project but I had some deadline problems (per usual) Now I have to start editing a 10min film before feb18th. And i also want to watch the lovefest films ;-)

There's so many talented people on this board. Sounds like everybody is more than pleased with your work, Herman.

I had 'musicalrob' Robert Sudall do my score (not yet filmed unfortunately) and it's superb too. I didn't have any footage for him, just the script and some hints. His score was spot on.

Thanks composers.
