My jokes: 100,000 views
My animations: TENS OF MILLIONS OF VIEWS
People love these animations.
They're educational.
They're engaging.
To classical musicians, they're familiar and relatable.
To the uninitiated, they're mysterious and mesmerizing.
Next time you see a scrolling score animation on Instagram, there's a good chance I was the guy who made it.
There's a reason so few orchestras incorporate animations like this. They're a pain in the a** to make, and no two are ever alike.
Next time you see one of these Reels spare a thought for the poor bastard who spent hours keyframing away, sweating over every millisecond, every pixel.
The first client that ordered dozens of these animations from me wasn't an orchestra, rather a music business.
This business's IG/TikTok/FB was cooling, stuck at ~8,800 total followers.
Enter, Liam's scrolling scores.
8 months later, 75.7k total followers, just on the back of animated sheet music, 4 Reels cracking 1,000,000 views (all organic traffic, and all ads).
To quote the owner, "these Reels are clearly working".
I make all sorts of other Reels, but there will always be a special place in my heart for the scrolling score.
All hail the scrolling score.
