Film Music | Music for Animated shorts

If you’re looking for an indie film music composer or an animation composer, I can help! Perhaps you’re in need of some music for your animated short film, a TV series or media project? I’ve created custom scores for a variety of independent films, animation projects and shorts, and have worked with some incredibly talented filmmakers, film producers, animators and other creative magicians! It is always a real pleasure to work towards the same goal of bringing a vision to life and I would be delighted to learn more about your project and to help you with the music for it.

I can compose in a wide variety of styles and really enjoy the challenge of writing music to sync with what’s happening on screen. My music is very emotive and I tend to focus on evoking the right moods for different scenes and to create memorable experiences for the audience.

If you need a film music composer who is versatile and if you’re happy with virtual orchestras – I’m the composer for you!

Short Film & animation Examples

Warmth (a heartwarming story) 

Working with Ninichi was fantastic! She was very quick & informative with her responses & I was impressed with the speed at which she composed the music I commissions.

All the right moods were hit. The ‘Saving Clara’ theme gets me involuntarily clenching my teeth with worry during the final scene. Exactly the feeling I wanted the audience to experience. Thanks to her. I was able to finally wrap up a project that I had been putting together, on & off for 3 years.

Curiosity Killed (fun murder mystery)

NINICHI has been incredibly understanding, professional, responsive, and an all around very pleasant person to work with!

Her ability to use different styles of music is impressive, and she was very thorough in making sure she understood what kinds of moods I wanted and was constantly communicating along the way.

I would definitely work with her again if I end up making another film.

Dark Delivery (Horror)

NINICHI’s score strikes chords with every emotion, from edge of your seat to oh my god! I cannot wait to work with her again on many future projects.

She is an incredibly talented & gifted human being. I’m so happy to have been able to work with her. I’d say do yourself a favour & get in touch with her now! You will not be disappointed.

Waiting Room (Drama)

Little sneak peak of the short film Waiting Room starring Lilliana Ketchman, Lisa Sain Odom, Thatcher Johnson-Welden, Danika Adams, and Brandon Oakley.

In my 13 years of Directing, Producing & Editing 10 feature & 17 short films, I’ve worked with many composers. None have impressed me more than NINICHI.

She’s fast on the turnaround, she compliments the action on screen without overwhelming it, but where she really excels is her preparation BEFORE starting. Comprehensive questions, back & forth with the producer & contemplation allow her to start a project 10 steps ahead of other composers. I’ve never seen anything like it. She’s my first choice with anything I work on from this point forward.

Cirque du Mors (Fantasy / Circus / Horror)

NINICHI was the perfect fit & final piece of the puzzle! I remember going to her website & I instantly knew she would be exactly what the film needed.

Apart from her amazing talent the genuine interest & excitement she showed towards the project reinvigorated my own excitement. The way she was able to help me shape my vision & express my story in a whole new way was wonderful & astonishing to experience

Ninichi’s portfolio really stood out, both because of her talent in general, and her obvious familiarity and skill with chiptunes and game music.

Working with NINICHI was amazing! I had never had the opportunity to work directly with a composer before on one of my own films, so that was exciting in itself. NINICHI made the process really easy, and was very receptive to my input and feedback. I really think that the music she composed makes the film more powerful. It’s also totally stuck in my head all the time now!
