Calling All Musicians, specifically Pianists, Violinists and Woodwinds!
Do you wanna play on a score for a short animated film featuring Gary Oldman that will be screened at the Sundance Film Festival next week?
Well, here's what's going on! Our short film, The Man With A Turnip For A Head has a great original score written by musicinyouhead. We need to take her score that is performed on a synthesizer and transpose it to REAL instruments.
Here's what to do:
- Listen to the score with headphones on and play along
- Normally I am a fan of variation and deviation, but not this time. TRY TO PLAY AS PRECISELY TO THE ORIGINAL SCORE as you can because it specifically caters to every nuance and beat of Gary's voice.
- Record your instrument seperately and contribute it to the collaboration.
The instruments are:
- A REAL PIANO, with hammers and strings, no keyboards.
- Violin
- Oboe, but a clarinet or other woodwinds are good too.
- If you play another instrument feel free to contribute it if you think it works.
Okay, we got just about a week to bang this out, and then we will be finished with one of our projects for next week :)
Thanks Again

RE: Turnip Head Instruments
by RegularJOE
Let's make an animated short film out of Metaphorest's darkly delightful short text and Gary Oldman's glorious live performance of it. We got a bunch of great contributions of how to illustrate the main character. Now I want to start animating some of these possibilities to see how they look in motion before deciding on one to move forward with.
ANIMATORS - Take one of the most recommended illustrations of our Turnip Head protagonist and do an animation test. 5-10 seconds, just so I can see how these different designs move. Once we've done this, we'll make a definite decision and move forward full speed ahead.
ILLUSTRATORS - Let's also start gathering up our other graphical elements: backgrounds, side characters, etc. Find an element from the text and illustrate it. All sorts of styles are welcome here, and I think the disparate quality of the various contributions will be cool, however, I will say it seems like hand-done stuff is more suited to this particular short film than the computer-generated, 3D styles.
If you haven't read or heard the story yet, follow this link -- http://www.hitrecord.org/records/590975 ;
I wanna screen this at our upcoming Sundance show, so we're on a bit of a tight deadline, but between the lot of us, I think we'll be good.
Thanks!
