Indiana Jones Fans

March 24, 2008 by George Shaw.

For all you Indiana Jones fans, and film score fans, I am seeking donations to help with the recording of the score for Treasure of the Templars, the upcoming feature-length Indiana Jones Fan Film and exciting new prequel to the Raiders of the Lost Ark. The film is a labor of love from dedicated Indy fans, and will be released around the end of May, after Indiana Jones 4 comes out.

As a composer, writing in the style of John Williams is both an honor and a dream come true. I remember the Last Crusade as one of my earliest experiences of seeing a movie on the big screen in a theater; Williams’ bold and iconic theme was etched into my memory. I am hard at work at composing an original score with my own new themes in the stylistic vein of John Williams’ original Indiana Jones scores. Here’s my new love theme to wet your appetite.

I am seeking to raise some funds to hire a few live musicians to record the score. Call me an old fashioned musician, but I hate hearing cheap scores that are done with synthesizers, and this style of music just wouldn’t stand up without the contribution of living, breathing musicians. Indy would be deeply grateful for your support (he deserves to have his epic adventures accompanied by the lush and exhilarating sound of real musicians, and not some cheesy synthesizer)!
