Scavengers (Bennett and Huettner Short)| Rescore

***LINK TO ORIGINAL IN DESCRIPTION*** I’m not sure why this video is blowing up lately, but I am grateful to all who enjoy the rescore-- however I *highly* encourage you to watch and give views to the original version of Scavengers which was apparently finally uploaded to YouTube this past year by one of the creators, Charles Huettner: But, I also want to explain to fans of the original who’ve found themselves here recently only to feel disappointed with an altered version (even though it says rescore right in the title) that when I uploaded this rescore several years ago, I had no idea it would be seen by anyone other than a few student filmmakers and friends. This was just an exercise done for an undergrad class several years ago to practice film scoring. Being one of those rare films with no score it was a great piece to practice on; it wasn’t an attempt to improve or replace it. While much of it I still quite like, it is certainly not perfect and retrospectively some of the criticism in the comments is accurate. But, I think for that reason as an exercise for composers and music students who watch rescores, that makes it all the more educational and therefore valuable, if not for reasons that are useful to you fine folks. At the time that I uploaded this, the original version was NOT on YouTube, in fact the official Vimeo version only had a few hundred views, and again this was only meant to be a means of demoing an exercise in composing. It initially got a handful of views and a few stragglers looking for the original, but far more people who liked the rescore, and then no noticeable traffic so I left it up, and for the reasons outlined above will continue to do so unless the creators ask me to take it down.
