Ray

Ray is a DAE graduation animation about a stone giant who discovers dance. I joined as its composer eight days before the cinema screening and wrote the finished disco-funk score.

Final film

Music timed to Ray’s movement

Slap bass, drums, brass and sax give the film its disco-funk sound. I marked the key movements in the animation and changed the pace of the music so its strongest hits land with Ray’s actions.

After three feedback rounds with the animation team, I tightened the timing and arrangement for the screening. Tijn Valcke and Charlie Vervaeke created the film’s sound design.
