Hey VI,

Finally decided to put a recap video together.



I've focused more on animation than live-action the past few years.

I'm not exactly sure why... but I suspect it has something to do with Daniel Pemberton.

It feels like "Into Spider-Verse" has shifted the industry visually AND sonically.
Choices seem bolder. The wilder ideas seem to cut through. People are finally letting me do my thing. I love it. Thank you Daniel for paving the way!

Video edited in Resolve.
Mixed and mastered myself (except for "Still Standing", credit to Joshua Crispin).

Cheers!

Karel

These are fantastic, super slick and cool.

Is the track or video in the 50s section available for full listen/watch? Enjoy the vibe in that immensely. Curious to ask what synths and leads you used in there, particularly :59.

I checked your Evenant course link in your signature and found it on Google but the one on your signature gives an error protocol link.
 
This is awesome. I have a question. Take the Invincible trailer for example, how does licensing the rap verses for stuff like that usually happen? I guess in this case you might've just hired a vocalist to rap those adlibs (can't tell if it's an actual song) but sometimes I hear in trailers verses from actual songs. Like you might hear an epic trailer use a verse from a Wu Tang song for example. I'm just curious how this process goes if you have any insight. I liked the tracks though.

Hey Juulu,

In this case, it was an album track I made for a rapper. The rapper's label pitched it, and it landed in the trailer.

Sometimes, the trailer houses like a rap song, but the production doesn't cut it.
That's when they ask composers to make a custom remix. These versions are much more trailerized with less vocals.

In the 8 years I've been doing this, I've yet to see a rap vocal get recorded specifically for a trailer.
