The Adventures of Vector Owl - Halloween Short A 26 second piece of music to support an upcoming Halloween themed Vector Owl short animation. If you can, compare this short with the original theme tune to hear how it's been tweaked to give what I think is a spooky vibe. YouTube link to the animated Halloween short www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptg_n37Ro6U Vector Owl is a cheeky magical owl who gets up to various antics in the forest he calls home. Quite often, he just wants to have a quiet snooze but pesky creatures keep disturbing him. Thankfully, with his understanding of the power of vector magic, he can conjure up solutions to these annoyances and get back to having a well earned rest. YouTube link below to the animated Halloween short but it can be enjoyed purely as a very short piece of orchestral incidental music. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptg_n37Ro6U --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instrumentation Used Piccolo / Sousaphone / French Horn / Trombone / Woodblocks / Celtic Harp / Upright Bass / Ymir Choir / Lumina Choir The sound of a Tawney Owl that is used in this piece was sourced from www.freesound.org and is classed as Public Domain.

The music was expanded into a full theme tune, a brand new redesigned Vector Owl emerged and a change of animation software resulted in what you see here. Whilst familiar with creating music, animation is a completely new world to me and I'm still learning as I go. All the graphic elements are vector-based, using a combination of Serif Affinity software for graphical development and various open-source packages for animation and video editing, with the original music created in Cubase Pro. The idea of a Halloween Short for Vector Owl seemed a great opportunity to play around in adapting the original theme tune to a spooky setting. I used the same instruments, slowed down the tempo and went from major to minor. The addition of some choral elements was enough for this short piece of music.
