Press Release

FirstCom Music, a leading provider of music services, is pleased to announce the completion of the custom music logo for Vivendi Entertainment, a sister division of their parent company. FirstCom Music was selected for this high-profile project based on their vast music resources and their extensive orchestral catalog. The project requirements included an orchestral cinematic sound that compliment the sophisticated and clean feel of the new Vivendi “V” logo animation.
 

FirstCom scored the music to picture using early versions of the new animation supplied by Vivendi. Ken Nelson was the producer and executive producer of the sound track for the new logo: “Vivendi Entertainment had a very clear idea of the image and sound they wanted. Unlike many traditional libraries, we had the expertise to take the actual animation roughs and score directly to those assets. This allowed us to try several different approaches and orchestral mixes until we were able to capture just the right mood.”
 
Nelson worked closely with Mark Kristol, Vivendi Entertainment’s Executive Vice President of Theatrical Marketing & Distribution, through several weeks of the post production process. “It was an absolute pleasure working with Ken and his team. Ken was keenly adept at interpreting the sound concept we had in mind. He was able to offer us several variations on that theme which enabled us to succinctly determine the score that would most effectively contribute to establishing our new identity.”
