On August 17, 2014, I got to music direct the 2nd annual Geekie Awards for the second time, and it was awesome! I also composed epic medieval fantasy battle music (in the vein of Lord of the Rings and World of Warcraft) for show's cold open. It was a difficult week of composing for orchestra and choir that made me feel like I spent a week in Mordor battling hordes of minion armies. Stay tuned for video clips! Producer Gale Anne Hurd (TERMINATOR, WALKING DEAD, THE HULK) was ho

One of my favorite fandoms from my childhood, I was hooked on the original animated show from 1987-1996, and played with the toys and video games growing up. So it was a delight to see the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and have the opportunity to meet Ninja Turtles screenwriter, Evan Daugherty! He even loved my T-shirt (available from TeeTurtle.com)! The movie to me was mostly awesome, lots of exciting action and great comedy (not all intentional), some classic turtl

Composing music for Harry Shum Jr.'s "The Lonely Writer" was a fun challenge. As the short encompasses various movie genres, changing almost every few seconds, the result was a collage of music genres, similar to a composer's reel! #georgeshaw #harryshumjr #glee #lonelywriter #music #soundtrack #composer #score
