Adam Robertson Showreel for Application to the Lucasfilm "Jedi Academy" (Audio) Internship 2011

My Showreel for Application to the Lucasfilm "Jedi Academy" Internship from Adam Robertson on Vimeo.

This is the showreel I created for my application to the Lucasfilm "Jedi Academy" Internship program for Summer 2011 (n.b. Audio Intern Position).

In this showreel I have created a customised version of the 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm logos. The rest of the film samples 3 pieces of work that I have completed as part of University courses. As these works are intended for no financial gain and were completed as part of an educational course, then any copyright issues are covered by Creative Commons. I only lay claim to my own sound design. Any other attributes / collaborators are credited under the notes for each individual video, further down this page.

Abstract Sound for Animation Student's Work

Abstract Animation by Neil Wong from Adam Robertson on Vimeo.

I was asked to use Reaktor5 to create a 30 second piece of audio which would then be used by animation students to inspire their abstract animations. This piece was created by animation student Neil Wong. The audio was created using a variety of different patches, recorded from Reaktor5 into ProTools. I have another by Akbar Khan to upload, but as I've hit my upload limit, I'll paste it here later when I have some more space.

Biffy Clyro String Arrangement

I was listening to an MTV Unplugged session of Machines by Biffy Clyro, which was posted to their facebook page the other day, and thought I'd test out my arranging skills by making an arrangement to accompany the performance.

I arranged everything in ProTools using a Midi Keyboard and some plugins. They seem to have cut the Xylophone/small bells out of the MTV Unplugged official video but you can hear them on the recording I have which was sourced here:

the MTV Video version is here for your comparison:

I don't claim rights to the original song, only my arrangement which sits around it; As far as I’m aware, the copyright to the original recording is held by “1967 Ltd. Nokia Music Group”.
