Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate the inspiration, purpose, and development of my score for the animated short film "Wrapped". I will communicate my compositional process, influences, approach to the mock-up, preparation for the recording, and postproduction.

I will explore each element essential for effectively combining music with visual media and the significance and impact it has on a given picture. Through this, I intend to share my process and attitude towards the craft.

"Wrapped" is an animation depicting the gradual and dramatic decline of the world through a timelapse. The filmmakers Roman Kälin, Falko Paeper, and Florian Wittmann describe their work as follows:

“The deterioration of one is the foundation of another's life. The world, with its never-ending interplay of eating and being eaten, takes on new dimensions when the unexpected forces of nature clash with the existing structures of our civilization. What was meant for eternity, melts away in seconds. The only constant is change.”

"Wrapped" is a dramatic and meaningful animation that offers a thought-provoking message - ‘time is of the essence’. Given the current global climate of extreme turbulence and change, this seemed like an entirely appropriate topic for my Culminating Experience project.
