Thanks for the welcome and the advice, Heidl! I'll look at the text when I revisit that cover.
Until then, I made these two simple ones for "Inception" (which has probably been done a billion times like this) and the animated "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns." I know the font isn't quite right on that, so I'll probably revisit that later, too.

No it did not. I definitely like the darker bottom better in iOS 9 album view, the white bottom turned the album view grey. It didn't look good. I also wasn't feeling the orange glow/flare, but it's a cool alternate.
Here's album view for those of you no longer on iOS 9 (and are therefore screwed since there's no going back to it once you're on 10):

gururu, let me give you a bit of professional advice (but please don't think of me as condescending): When someone asks a designer a question like this, it's not the designer's job to answer it, it's the designer's job to fix it. Because others might have the same impression, and you simply can't go around and give answers to everyone.

Context is critical, however. This venue shouldn't be confused with a conference room at some professional sausage design mill:
1. You're not the client sitting at one end of a table appraising a budgeted advertising expense.
2. I'm not the salaried sausage maker designer assigned to retain an account.
So, in so far as here is concerned, deference to opinion should neither be expected nor be required.
That's hardly to say I'm indifferent to the input of others, since I've gladly revised other efforts in the past… though, in this case, I am somewhat bemused/amused by your particular fixation.

The VOID score is mainly sound design. Brooding, threatful atmosphere with jumpscare stingers and at other times total chaos. Just like the film it harkens back to classic 80's B-movie horrorfilms, but I guess you have to be a real hardcore fan to listen to something like this outside the film. But I've been in contact with B//B over twitter and they are really cool dudes ;)
I like your Transformers cover, tintacle! It makes the film seem less like the teenager's wet dream that every Michael Bay film obviously is. But that logo.... I just don't know...
is it just me or is this typography waaaay off? It looks like a mix of different typefaces that kinda match but not really. Let's see...
Spiky apices on the A and N, flat ones on the M
Different x-height on the R and the F or E
Different thickness of the stems and legs, most notable with the T and R
An extra wide A and a seemingly compressed O
The typical S taken from the iconic Star Wars font, obviously only that though. AND it looks like a cheap version of the Star Wars font, because the curves look distorted
Different S between title and subtitle (both look like Star Wars)
All in all it's a freaking MESS!

This. Not a fan of the guy. I still remember having a double movie night after watching "Mulan" on a matinee and eating at a local Chinese buffett down in Orangeburg, South Carolina when my sister told me that she wants to watch "Armageddon" because of the Aerosmith song she loved (this was around July of 1998). I didn't enjoyed it as a 11 year old kid and I still don't enjoy it now. I even had to use the restroom and thankfully missed a good minute of that film, haha! Thankfully, I've washed the bad taste of that film with Super Mario 64 that year.
"Pearl Harbor" was the last straw, or so I've thought... (that film was definitely trying hard to ride on James Cameron's fame with "Titanic" by banking on disaster film + history + love triangle)

In a Michael Bay film every human being is beautiful, there are no uglies and if there are, they're good-looking.
Each female is interested in nerd stuff (cars, computers, machines,...), has big tits and is wondrously single.
Every male is strong and thoroughly fit yet sensitive and funny. Also, invulnerable.
His films have the aesthetics of modern music videos. They're like Arnold Schwarzenegger's Last Action Hero, but with the difference that everyone's absolutely serious about it.
There's nothing I can take away from them.

I agree.
I hoped that, having two screenwriters from Iron Man, it would have been, finally, a decent movie. It eventually wasn't, but it's not as bad as some of the others... The plot isn't overly complex, there aren't always annoying characters and for once the lead female character isn't only a hot girl but does consistently contributes to the mission of saving the world. You know, that thing of Merlin's staff.
Obviously, this doesn't save the movie, but it's a tiny little improvement over some of the previous ones (most notably TF2 and TF4).

Sure. I didn't say that every scene was vital for moving the plot forward. For instance every single scene with Isabela Moner was just plain useless. But the overall plot was more straight-forward... There wasn't a big plotline or subplot that led to nothing. Just a few useless scenes with useless characters.

That was my sentiment exactly. For the uninitiated: SPOILER ALERT!
The kids in the ruined city have no point in the plot whatsoever. Those kids only serve to introduce Isabela and her Autobot. Okay... so what about that then? Let's continue... Isabela's autobot dies, only for Isabela to be saved by Cade and Bee. Those two could easily have been introduced into the city patrolling on their own. No need for Isabela there. She moans and groans her way through the introduction all the way up to the car lot, where Cade lives. Still, not of use there. Then there's the drone chase. Still of no use there. Cade could've handled that alone, especially since he's the one carrying the gun, not her. She then disappears for the remainder of the film only to have her little half-broken bot destroy the cannon at the end, which is completely implausible and could easily have been done by one of the bigger Autobots. Again, nonsensical and useless.
The butler Autobot was funny for the first five minutes, after that he got annoying at times (although the car chase was fun).
I'd have to see the film again but I've got the feeling there were some Transformers that didn't do much of anything either (not referring to the one with the talisman or Isabela's bot of course).
Imperivm
07-13-2017, 10:54 AM
Totally agree!
I guess they wrote the kids scene and Isabela's character only to "convince" real-life kids to go watch the film :laugh:
I found Anthony Hopkins very annoying in the film (maybe it was because of the dubbing, but I doubt that). I was very pleased when his character died...
I can say that I really enjoyed the action stuff of the third act, when there were the sort-of military helicopters flying around at high altitude into the giant cables of Cybertron... that was very fun to watch.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed by Steve Jablonsky's score. All of the epic themes and ''''talent'''' he showed in the original trilogy and even at times in TF4 seem to have disappeared. All of the score is just action-percussion-synth theme-less tension-less mess. Zero use of the Transformers', Optimus' and Bumblebee's themes of the first (and later) movies, with the only exception in the very ending where he reprised his theme from TF1. All the rest was just... nothing. Too bad for the only film in the saga to have a 2-hour official release.

Totally agree!
I guess they wrote the kids scene and Isabela's character only to "convince" real-life kids to go watch the film :laugh:
I found Anthony Hopkins very annoying in the film (maybe it was because of the dubbing, but I doubt that). I was very pleased when his character died...
I can say that I really enjoyed the action stuff of the third act, when there were the sort-of military helicopters flying around at high altitude into the giant cables of Cybertron... that was very fun to watch.

Do we really need spoiler tags for a Transformers movie? Something tells me nobody watches those for the story.

Don't tell DAKoftheOTA, but I agree... lol. To me this score falls flat compared to the four other scores and ESPECIALLY compared to the non-stop epicness that is the first TF score.

I like parts of this score. I like the wider range of certain cues, and I thought the "opera" gag was the funniest bit in the movie and really appreciated that it was included as part of the score/album release. But the action material is rarely as cool as the previous ones, and even in the context of movie, the cues at the climax felt flat and undercooked. I was really hoping Jablonsky would pull off another "Dinobot Charge" moment, and he didn't.

Don't quote me on this, since it's something I was merely told without factual basis (though it's from someone that knows a lot about RCP). But apparently, the score was ghost composed by Lorne Balfe. This could ultimately explain why the score might feel different from the others, as well as possibly weaker as a whole. Either that, or Jablonsky is about as tired of the franchise as everyone else. Though I haven't heard the OST, I did like "Merlin's Staff" enough as a piece. Even so, it pales in comparison to what I know from the first 3 films (haven't watched AoE).

An intriguing turn of events, if true. I liked Balfe's work on "Terminator Genysis" (particularly the "Sacrifice" cue) and I have some of his scores for the "Assassins Creed" games. Ah, well.

That would be... unexpected. I know that Lorne Balfe worked as additional composer for the first and second film (he posted it in his website), not sure if he worked even in TF3 and TF4. I wouldn't know why that might have happened... Jablonsky isn't busy with other films, while Balfe has never been busier! But Balfe aslo scored Bay's previous film, 13 Hours...
It might be true, but I have many doubts on that.
For sure, Jablonsky is evidently tired of the franchise. The entire franchise is tired of Michael Bay and what he does... Let's hope that the spin-off on Bumblebee will bring a lot of fresh air and finally a decent film!

If you take a look at my signature, "Don't Breathe" is the restoring project I'm working on...
It was quite an easy task removing the "original music" since most of the center dialogue track is clean of any music or sounds.
So, for the past couple weeks, ive been writing "new music" for this, since this is my first composition project.

There are 2 things you must know about this project:
01. It won't be a complete score, because these are known as demos(the tracks have no name, this had no producing, etc), so if I do post it here, it'll be an album at first, as a test to see who does and doesn't like it.
02. The music I'm writing is ORIGINAL, meaning I'm not mimicking the original composer's work, because that's called "copyright", and I don't want to get sued for using the same themes, techniques, etc... also, if the signature didn't make it clear, the music is written in synths and 1 drum kit.

I have it seen it since last summer, in theatres. So nearly a year. Either my brain was already shut off, or I didn't find anything wrong with it - because it's a MOVIE (aka fictional piece of work). The film as a whole was mostly plausible to me.

I didn't like Don't Breathe, but I may have been going in with false expectations since everyone was praising it as the new horror film revolution. For me it was just another slasher film with a new twist to it, nothing more. But I'm interested to hear your score in context, Jay. From your description it sounds like an eery 80s horror score. I'm curious to see if it changes my opinion about the film.

Music by Clint Mansell and Lorne Balfe.
Not much to say about these really. Got some hi-res artwork, turned them into the 1:1 ratio and added the logo/text.
Seems like the score won't be released anyway.. (

Haven't seen neither this or the original Japanese film. I've heard the ScarJo one is a bad remake, too americanized.
But I would've liked to hear the score, I might take a guess and say that it is a mix between Mansell's Moon (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lAfMT5FIZE) and Balfe's Assassin's Creed (

@HunterTech, if you could line up the logo in each cover so they'd line up perfectly one next to the other, that would look a lot better (not saying they don't look nice, that's just the one thing that stands out).

I'd be more keen to do that, if there was a position that wasn't blocking part of Cruise's face or is in an awkward place. Maybe if I mess around with it more.....

Do yourself a favour and check out the original 1995 film. The main titles of that film are quite iconic, not just due to its incredible animation, but also for its beautiful and haunting choral piece of work, which doubles as eerie foreshadowing for the plot (the theme is based on a very old marriage hymn, those who've watched the film will know why this is important).
The latest series, "Arise", comes the closest both plot-wise and musically to McCann's work, not so much the original films and series. They're more organic and melancholic than what you'd find in Deus Ex. But maybe after the disappointment of Mankind Divided's soundtrack, you might want to give something else a go?

Here are my custom covers for Dunkirk.
Music by Hans Zimmer.
What A Masterpiece!
Undoubtably the greatest war film I've seen in a long time. In my book, it's up there amongst the very best like Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, Band of Brothers, Das Boot and Platoon.
It's been a long time since I've had such an intense experience in the cinema.
The way the film cuts between three different timelines that differ so much in time (One Hour, One Day and One Week) while not dropping the tension for a minute is that of a true masterpiece. The highlight for me are the Spitfire dogfights with Farrier. Through the Sound and the amazing IMAX photographed visuals, you really feel like sitting in a real WWII dogfight. And the way Tom Hardy acts, almost exclusively with his eyes, pulls you into his seat directly. At the end, when we see Farrier having run out of fuel just soaring in the sky along the beach, knowing what he has just achieved, what he and the audience knows is about to happen combined the look Tom Hardy has in his eyes, gave me chills all the way from the neck down to my ankels. I had the feeling of "there goes a true hero".
I saw the film in real 70mm projection, on (I think) the largest cinema screen in Denmark. What an absolutely incredible experience!
Anyway, enough about the film, let's talk about the score.
Again, I think Zimmer and Nolan have a special kind of relationship that allow them to combine each others talents to achieve the best possible outcome, exactly like Williams and Spielberg. And though I think Interstellar was a much more bold move to go with a church organ for a science fiction film, Dunkirk has an equally brilliant idea about the score, the use of the 'Shepard Tone'. Having the score build tension from beginning to end without it being overwhelming fits this picture fantastically.
Although listening to the score isn't as upbeat or lush like you would normally feel when listening to music or film soundtracks, by the end you are almost bleeding with emotion.
Check out these for more info on Dunkirk's use of the 'Shepard Tone'. HERE (

The first cover in this series is an alternate to the official (
http://www.hans-zimmer.com/~hybrid/zimmer/DUNKIRK.jpg) soundtrack cover. I felt like the official had a tad too much contrast and the placement of certain objects just wasn't quite right to me.
Also I'm not a fan of soundtrack covers that feature 'A film by (the director)' on it, to me that's just unnecessary information.
There might not be much of a difference to most people between the two, but I sometimes have a meticulous level of ocd about certain things ;)
#2, if I'm right, is based on what I thought was an official but turned out to be fanmade poster (

Yeah, you're welcome. Even though I still regard the source material utilized in the official cover and your first one to best dynamically represent the score as a whole, (which is the effective circumstance that I base the decision upon for what cover I'll use for a score) I still think that as cover artwork what you've made for this film is still interesting and was probably fun to work on, which is a same thing that I like to experiment with, even knowing that I'd not use most of them myself. :p

Went to the red-carpet premiere of "The Defenders" last night, so I decided to slap together this cover quickie. Not a lot of great art out there for this one, I wish I could get some high-rez caps of the opening credits but I guess that'll have to wait until after the show actually drops on Netflix. The titles are maps of New York with streets highlighted in the colors of each character (red for Daredevil, purple/blue for Jessica Jones, yellow for Luke Cage and green for Iron Fist) and looked really cool.

Here are my custom covers for Rush.
Music by Hans Zimmer.
Definitely my favourite film about motor racing.
One might argue that the racing scenes are far more gritty or realistic in films like Grand Prix or Le Mans, but what keeps me coming back to Rush and what makes it one of my all-time favourites, is the story.
Ron Howard's direction is genius and Peter Morgan's script is superb. Anthony Dod Mantle's cinematography is oscar-worthy in this film (though his work on In the Heart of the Sea was horrendous), some of the camera angles and shots he was able to pull of are amazing, the sound design is fantastic, and the acting from both Chris and especially Daniel is spot-on! If I was to decide, the best actor Oscar should've gone to Br�hl.
No wonder the film is on the IMDb top 250.
Anyway, let's talk about Zimmer's score;
I think he absolutely nailed it on this one, capturing the adrenaline and the soul of 70's motor racing perfectly. The scene where Lauda really puts the foot down to catch Hunt at the N�rburgring, when the percussion kicks in (
https://youtu.be/KDYIqCcRW9w?t=4m16s), gets my heart racing every time.
First time hearing it, it quickly became one of my favourites of his.
That's about all I need to say ;)

The first cover in this series is a simple re-textazation of the ost cover (

#2 was an attempt at one of those more modern, if somewhat unimaginative, covers that feature the main characters. Like most (

) of the blockbuster soundtracks these days (

).

#3 I made from scratch using the iconic helmet design of James Hunt (

).
For #4 I wanted something old fashioned. And the orange square on this (

) poster provided the perfect template. In a way it sort of reminds me of classics like Bullitt (

) or the original Italian Job (

).

(
http://imgur.com/CEAQCAV)

http://imgur.com/3I0XW8u)
#5 is an updated version of a cover I made over a year ago (
Thread 90457), using the magnificent (

) artwork Doaly (
http://doaly.com/).
And the last one uses a still frame of the real James Hunt racing around Monza in 1976.
If you have any special requests for any of them (e.g. if you want me to add or move anything or change the colour of something or whatever your heart desires), please let me know.

I agree this is one of Miklos' best scores, right up there with his "Julius Caesar" and "Ben-Hur". If you love music of that magnitude, may I suggest Alex North's "Spartacus" and "Cleopatra"? Great classic hollywood scores. Elmer Bernstein's "The Ten Commandments" and Ernest Gold's "Exodus" also contains very great and powerful scores (Nic Raine does a great job with "Exodus" and Twilight Time released a blu-ray with an isolated and sfx tracks of Gold's original orchestrations). Then there's John Barry's "The Lion In Winter" and Maurice Jarre's "Lawrence of Arabia" (again, Nic Raine does a great job with the complete score, almost matching Jarre's original orchestrations, it's eerie).

A replacement for one of those official covers that mention everybody other than the composer…

Nice covers as usual, but you forgot the word "Compos�e" after Musique.

Composer credit revised (bad, grammar, bad).

DAAAAMNNNNN that's amazing!
Isn't it?!
I agree this is one of Miklos' best scores, right up there with his "Julius Caesar" and "Ben-Hur". If you love music of that magnitude, may I suggest Alex North's "Spartacus" and "Cleopatra"? Great classic hollywood scores. Elmer Bernstein's "The Ten Commandments" and Ernest Gold's "Exodus" also contains very great and powerful scores (Nic Raine does a great job with "Exodus" and Twilight Time released a blu-ray with an isolated and sfx tracks of Gold's original orchestrations). Then there's John Barry's "The Lion In Winter" and Maurice Jarre's "Lawrence of Arabia" (again, Nic Raine does a great job with the complete score, almost matching Jarre's original orchestrations, it's eerie).
From what I've heard of Ben-Hur, Spartacus, and Cleopatra, the melodies haven't agreed with me so profoundly as El-Cid's had. That doesn't mean I dispute their greatness.
And I completely agree with your comments on (Tadlow's) complete score to Lawrence of Arabia, one of the best, most moving and wonderfully-crafted scores I've ever heard. It's so uncanny how much of a possible resemblance that recording and its orchestrations bear to the original, as if it had been done with modern recording equipment.

Before you ask, no, I don't have this score. It did the rounds here but I missed it. Wanted to make a cover nonetheless.

Has anyone got any covers for Blake Neely's Everwood. seasons 1-4?
Yes, this version was complied by myself using the sources of DVD isolated score, Recording Sessions cues which contain many unreleased, unused materials of original version and alternative but is still incomplete, and the soundtrack album. I spent much time figuring out the proper "film version" of this score, and the corresponding alternatives. I also wrote a review of the DVD version score based on the isolated score with composer Elliot Goldenthal's commentary including some information about the scoring. Please refer to the review as follow:
