I’ve just been told that the following clip featuring my music from our doco Can We Save The Reef is now one of the most viewed posts on ABC’s Catalyst Facebook page of all time with over 4.4 million views and 23 thousand shares. And counting! This is a massive social media response.

Congrats to Adam Geiger (director) and Colette Beaudry (producer) of SeaLight Pictures for the huge success of the film, and to Screen Australia and ABC TV for getting behind it.

Don’t forget that the entire film (not just the below clip!) is still available to watch on ABC’s iView catchup service.

Great news. I recently had the honour of co-composing the feature score to The Longest Shot with multiple award-winning composer Burkhard Dallwitz (The Truman Show, Underbelly, The Secret River)

The Longest Shot is a massive Chinese/Australian co-production, shot in Melbourne and Shanghai directed by Xu Shunli and starring Chinese box office star Wang Zhiwen alongside an ensemble of Chinese and International talent including Yu Nan, Zu Yajun, Lee Li-Chun and Kao Kuo-Hsin, along with Sabien Lucciarini, Christopher Downs and Koniukhov Konstantin.

We had the budget to record a live orchestra with a 40 piece string section, plus woodwinds, brass and harp and managed to do some really interesting things with orchestration thanks to the hugely talented Erkki Veltheim who made sense of our mockups. The score was mixed in 5.1 surround by Christian Scallan and it sounds great. Hopefully we’ll get a soundtrack release down the track.

Here are some pics from the recording session. Burkhard is at the back, Christian at the desk and Erkki at the side
