I seem to be too late, (and am very disappointed for this), as I have had very busy weeks.

This is a wonderful idea of a challenge, "The Artist" is one of my favorite movies of the decade and we already have two scoring of this one.

So first congrats to everyone for submitting, quite a challenge!
This is just rough thoughts:

1) Very Hornery, but not dramatic enough 5*
2) interesting approach slowly building accros the two characters, (although the ending is lacking) 8*
3) Too "optimistic" and mickey-mousing and not emotionnal enough for me 5*
4) liked the intro and overall effects. Some transition jarring, loved the sadness brought by the violin - the ending is more on power than emotion, too bad 8*
5) Like a lot the concept and execution from start to finish 9*
6) Good music, but curious choice of instrument (sounds kind of Irish) and the drama is just not there 5*
7) Beautiful music - some part do not fit (after he takes its decision) and a little busy. Again, technically very good, but we are talking suicide here!! 7*
8) Daring but too abvious and not my cup of tea sorry 5*
9) Thematic driven which is nice but doesn't fit, a little mickey-mousing 5*
10) Really like this one, seems one of a piece while still following the action (good switch for the Gun part) Ending more on suspense than emotion 8*
11) Not powerful enough 5*
12) well executed 7*

Sorry, Haven't the time to see them all again for a proper ranking.

Again thanks to everyone, Please continue, this is a fascinating experiment!

Just so everyone knows, the results will be announced next week. My personal/work life has been very busy (especially since my brother's wedding is this weekend). Thank you for your understanding.

Hello everyone,

First of all, I want to thank everyone would participated in this composers challenge. We actually had more entries than with Dear Esther and Mass Effect 2 which is a very gratifying feeling.

I tell you that two of the professional composers (James Peterson and William Stromberg) were unable to review the entries due to professional commitments. However, Alain Mayrand and Vladmir Nikolov.

Before I announce the top three, I want to explain the voting process. People voted each entry out of 10 and then I averaged out the votes per entry to determine the winner. I have also complied all of the reviews and comments that people shared out the each entry so each composer will receive those comments from me shortly after this posting. Note: when you read them, each new number is someone else commenting on it.

It was very close between first and second place with 0.02 a difference between them.

The winner of The Artist Composers Challenge is:
Entry 12 - CS_TBL of Filmtracks with an average score of 8.77 out of 10:

Second place went to Entry 7 - HowdyDoodle of Reddit with an average score of 8.75 out of 10:

Third place went to Entry 4 - Sciscitatio of Reddit with an average score of 7.45 out of 10:

If you did not finish in the top three but want to know where you finished, please contact me personally at composerschallenge at hotmail dot com or my personal email (if you already know it).

I have a few ideas of clips that I want to do for the next composers challenge. The next challenge will start sometime in the new year.

Kevin
