"Controls", a video game movie scored by me!

I just found this on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR-ZaqvUWQ0

Teaser segment for a film I scored a year ago, about a frustrated video game reviewer who unwillingly becomes a detective in a case involving a famous game developer. I thought you guys would especially enjoy the intro sequence, it pays homage to classic Zelda games and I wrote some music that hearkens back to early eras of game music. (actually, as the nightmare goes on, the game music pastiches get older and older, from PSX to SNES to NES style.. but it's tough to hear with youtube putting everything in mono)

This was very cool to watch. A bit slow during the part where the developer's wife and son come in, but otherwise, very enjoyable. Your music fit the mood of the movie as well.

I think my favorite part was the dream Zara was having at the beginning, where she was in Ruto, at night, and everybody was an NPC.

This movie is impressive in terms of production value and direction. Good soundtrack. You should be proud Will.

The first part felt like David Lynch to me.

Well, I enjoyed this thing.
Nicely executed, and pro work on the music.

I read the thread title as "...scored by mel".

Hey guys, glad you enjoyed it! I unearthed some mp3s of the game pastiche-music I wrote too, if you're interested -
