Greetings!

I decided to build a soundscape using sound effects, narration, and musical score to transport the listener into a movie scene. My idea was inspired from battle speeches in films like The Lord of The Rings, 300, Gladiator, and Saving Private Ryan. The goal was to make the music tell an emotional story.

STORY - The Platoon Leader is addressing his troops. They are severely outnumbered and he needs to pump up his men before entering a near suicidal last stand. The score starts off very firm under the dialogue, and then builds up into a roaring conclusion!

I did some research on period specific slang to keep it authentic (while also making it easy to understand). Sadly, I had to cut a lot of the dialogue down because of time. You can find the entire script here: https://db.tt/xobTUW4d.

My very talented friend Lucien Dodge provided the dialogue performance. I can provide full consent for the time (and voice) he donated. The sound effects are from the Pro Sound Effects Hybrid Library.

I took heavy inspiration from the solo trumpet stem for my score. I also wanted to make my drums sound as big as possible, like gunshots and cannon fire. The name “Destiny’s Door” specifically references the soldier’s last stand and ultimate destiny. 

Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. I've uploaded the isolated score file here: http://www.hanszimmerwantsyou.com/tracks/6063
