One of the cool things about the upcoming fan film, Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Templars, is that not only does it look good (you can watch the first 12 minutes of the movie here), but it sounds good, too, in part because it has its own soundtrack composed by George Shaw. On his own website, Shaw notes that much as the fan filmmakers upgraded their scene, he’s looking to upgrade his music for the final film.
It has been an absolute joy to be a part of this film, and to live out my dream of composing music for an Indiana Jones adventure. This film features a “younger” Indiana Jones (in his twenties, I believe), and is a prequel to the original trilogy. The current teaser features my original music starting around 4 minutes in. The first four minutes of the video weren’t even completed in time for me to compose music for, so what you’re seeing is all freshly finished.
The music you hear in the teaser is just synth demos, I am seeking to raise some funds to hire a few live musicians to record the score. Indy would be deeply grateful for your support (he deserves to have his epic adventures accompanied by the lush and exhilarating sound of real musicians, and not some cheesy synthesizer)! 100% of donations will go towards recording studio expenses and hiring live musicians. And in addition to supporting struggling musicians, you can get your hands on some exclusive albums:
* Donate $20 or more and receive a Limited-Edition promo CD of my recent score to the film Sailfish, a sports drama which opens theatrically in China this summer during the Beijing Olympics. It features over an hour of a romantic themes and rousing competition music.
* Donate $50 or more and receive the Sailfish promo CD and a compilation CD of some of my own favorite pieces from various film scores that I’ve written.
* Donate $100 or more and receive a Sailfish promo CD, a compilation CD of my work, and an autographed CD of the final Treasure of the Templars score along with a thank you and your name printed in the CD liner notes.
