Do you want to sharpen your scoring skills for video games and television? Submit your music to a given cutscene, get expert feedback, and receive practical improvement tips from renowned composer Pieter Schlosser at the Videogame Cutscene / TV Series Scoring workshop at the 22nd edition of SoundTrack_Cologne.
This hands-on session is designed to help you enhance your workflow for efficiency and speed, so you can focus more on creativity. You’ll gain real-world skills to write additional music for a specific in-game cutscene or TV episode by receiving detailed critiques of your cue, with a focus on musical cohesion, thematic integration, and professional delivery standards.
The workshop will centre around Disney’s Secrets of Sulphur Springs. Before the session, you’ll receive a scene, spotting notes, and pre-existing cues to study. This material will help you understand the tone, instrumentation, and style you should aim to match when scoring the scene on your own.
During the workshop, you’ll get direct feedback on your cue, focusing on tone, thematic consistency, instrumentation, and technical delivery (including stem prep and file naming). Pieter will also share the final version of the cue used in the show, offering you a unique opportunity to compare and discuss.
This is your chance to get hands-on experience with the creative and professional standards expected of composers working in real-world TV or video game production environments.
