Testimonials
As a senior producer of commercials and occasional director of television content and films I have found Andy to be a truly inspirational ally throughout the whole creative production process. To date, we have completed three successful projects together:
Tasty Conversations – Cooking show – seen on GEM, Lifetime Asia - original music composed and performed by Andy Scott http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4196508/?ref_=rvi_tt
Second Hand – Short Film – officially selected into six major national film festivals - original music composed and performed by Andy Scott - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3970680/?ref_=rvi_tt
Wish You Here – Winner of Best Cinematography and Best Original Score at Tropfest 2016 for Andy Scott - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5155460/?ref_=rvi_tt
One of my favourite parts of the production process is collaborating on the music & soundtrack. Andy is not only one of the fastest workers I have seen, he is also able to work across myriad genres with equal skill. He interprets creative briefs with real imagination and always offers up something unexpected. We have developed a good shorthand that enables us to work through ideas and motifs quickly so that Andy can further develop and arrange those concepts into either fully-developed scores or versatile musical motifs appropriate for episodic treatment (for instance).
Another fine quality of Andy’s is the way he always (politely) fights for what he thinks works best. And the guy is usually right! No wonder he took home Best Original Score for our film Wish You Here this year at Tropfest – a unanimous decision amongst the judges, we would soon learn.
