Guy Michelmore

Award-winning film and & TV composer Guy Michelmore is one of the most prolific and diverse writers around. He scores a wide range of projects from feature films to animation, commercials to natural history programmes.

Guy’s based in London with another studio in Italy and an office in Los Angeles. 

Since 2004, he has worked mostly in the US, scoring five feature films for Marvel and Lionsgate - Hulk Vs., The Invincible Iron Man, Next Avengers: Heroes Of Tomorrow, Captain America (Ultimate Avengers I and II), Dr Strange, Iron Man: Armoured Adventures and Thor as well as Mike Young Productions Creepie and Cosmic Quantum Ray and Tutenstein: The Movie for Porchlight Entertainment. He has also scored over 100 episodes of television for US networks. His feature films include the award winning Frozen as well as landmark series for the BBC.  

Recent productions include the animated feature Jackboots On Whitehall (voices by Ewan McGregor, Rosamund Pike, Timothy Spall, Tom Wilkinson, Dominic West, Richard E Grant and many more!) for McHenry Brothers / E-Motion, Beyond The Pole, a comedy docu-drama feature film for Shooting Pictures and The Jungle Book the new animated series for Indian media giant DQ Entertainment.

Guy's music often fuses live orchestra, sound design, contemporary sounds and live ethnic performance. He has scored over 150 natural history films for BBC, Discovery, National Geographic and Survival and regularly travels to far flung parts of the world to record musicians. He has recorded on location in Madagascar, Kenya, India and Egypt to name but a few. Aside from these adventures to capture authenticity he has also worked with orchestras in the US, Germany, Poland and the UK.

"A rousing score by Guy Michelmore is the real star of JACKBOOTS as it beautifully captures the stiff upper-lip Bulldog spirit of iconic British war movies and perfectly evokes the music of Ron Goodwin".

Allan Hunter (Screen International)

“Thank goodness, for the brilliant, galvanising scoring of Guy Michelmore, which not only carries you through on a wave of classic war movie nostalgia but also helps generate an emotional response to the facially limited puppets in key scenes”
