Escape is an animated short film developed as a cinematic poem about the world-changing power of invention, the short film Escape is the latest example of animated storytelling that showcases state-of-the-art Dolby technologies. Combining techniques such as miniatures and animation with the spectacular imaging of Dolby Vision and the moving audio of Dolby Atmos, Escape invites the audience to imagine and experience a joyous vision of the future. It is a story of persistence and passion that is intended to inspire individuals to never give up on their hopes and dreams.
After crash-landing on a desolate planet, a lone space explorer must find a way to make her new home habitable. The teenage heroine is an older version of the central character in our Emmy award–winning film, Silent, known there as “the Kid.” This intrepid character displays courage, passion, determination, and curiosity as she transforms the barren landscape she has found into a beautiful planet.
This is an authorized re-score for the Berlin International Sound Design and Film Score Competition in 2020.
“This project means a great deal to me. Not because I won a contest or anything. I didn’t. But this was the first score to picture project I challenged myself with when re-embracing the dream of composing for film. To this day, I’m still very proud of what I was able to compose thematically, and orchestrate it, and produce it without really knowing what I was doing. I was even still learning how to use Cubase and these orchestral sample libraries. This one will always be special for me.”
~Brian L.H. Gunter (on his re-score for the animated short film, “Escape”)
