Hans Zimmer is probably the busiest film score composer in Hollywood. He is fast overtaking John Williams as the most famous film composer and is starting to become a household name after the variety of films that he scores, from The Lion King to The Da Vinci Code. Admittedly a fair number of his tracks can sound similar, but I suppose with the amount of films he composes for he has to have some sort of formula for composing. Our AS opening was greatly inspired by his work, especially his work on The Dark Knight and Inception and we asked our resident composer to create something similar.
Our trailer this year will probably again take inspiration from the work of Hans Zimmer and we will be using the incomparable talent of James Richardson to create an original score. Below are two contrasting examples of Hans Zimmer's work. The first is from the film Angels and Demons which is a fast paced action movie style soundtrack, but with a choral element. The second is from the romantic comedy The Holiday and shows a different side to Hans Zimmer's style.
