The Princess and The Dragon
RTS Yorkshire Student Award Winner for Best Animation!
In May 2023, I composed the music for a short animated film called The Princess and The Dragon, directed by Annie Nicholson, which depicts a princess trapped in her castle and guarded by a fierce dragon, whilst she dreams about the outside world and the adventures that she imagines she will go on.​​
The ShapeShifter
In June 2023, I composed the music for a short animated film called The ShapeShifter, directed by Brodie Hollifield (links below), which depicts a mage who is testing to see if it is possible to create life using magic.
Unfortunately, it cannot be shown publicly yet so here are some stills from the film showcasing the brilliant artwork with some of my music behind it!​
How Far Can A Punk Get?
How Far Can A Punk Get? is a short comedy film, directed by Riley Carr, about a Punk band's struggles as well as the main character's struggle with addiction. Unfortunately, it cannot be shown publicly yet so here is a snippet from the very start of it.
​
I composed the music for this film in September 2024 alongside Alys Savery, and had lots of fun composing for the Punk genre, something I've never tried before!​​
The Package
In January 2025, I composed the music for a short dark comedy film called The Package, directed by Sam McLeod, about a scrawny businessman, with a debt to a violent loan shark, who must deliver a package by midnight to escape death.​​​
