Andrew Hewitt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Hewitt is a British composer for film and television.
His score for Garth Marenghi's Darkplace gained him a BAFTA Nomination as Best New Composer for Film and TV 2004.
Andrew worked again with Richard Ayoade and Matt Holness on Channel 4's series Man to Man with Dean Learner; the pilot episode for comedy Cul De Sac (starring actors from The Office); and three short films for newly launched Purrfect Pictures. For Emmy-nominated film composer Richard Blackford he has orchestrated twelve filmscores, all for German film company ZDF. In 2007, he completed his feature length orchestral score to Pioneer Productions' new film drama Hindenburg: The Untold Story, a recreation of the 1937 airship disaster, broadcast in the USA, UK and Germany. Pioneer recently asked him again to score episodes for the Travel Channel, and a major five-episode documentary series for Discovery. For Mother Advertising he has just completed all songs for Pot Noodle's 2008 musicvideo ad campaign (directed by Oscar-Nominated Taika Waititi), and TwentyTwenty Television have commissioned Andrew to write five songs for a new internet-based musicvideo project.
A graduate of St Johns College, Cambridge and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, he is also a classically-trained pianist and tenor. He has sung chorally for John Eliot Gardiner, Robert King, John Rutter, and on many film scores including: the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Doomsday, Pirates of the Caribbean III and The Golden Compass.
