“Early on in the process, Victor and I discussed how we can create an environment for this film, that has a distinct flavor and concept,” Wiedmann described. “Since most of the film takes place in Colombia, I suggested the use of South American woodwind instruments, used in an unconventional way, merely to evoke a sense of place, but in a subtle, not too obvious way.” Read the full review at Top40-Charts.com.

It took John Bergin two years to illustrate the 360-page graphic novel on which From Inside, the film, is based. From Inside, the epic graphic novel, was originally published in 1994 by Tundra/Kitchen Sink Press. A ground-breaking comic for its time, From Inside‘s publisher was also breaking new ground. John Bergin explains: “Tundra was a comic book publishing company founded in 1990 by Kevin Eastman (creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, current editor of Heavy Metal Magazine). Kevin’s goal was to establish a place where comic book artists would retain complete creative control over their books.
This was the early-’90s, so creator-owned books weren’t a new idea, but Tundra made it policy by adhering to the Creator’s Bill of Rights – a document which was drafted in the late ’80s as a guide to help creators retain ownership of their work. Kevin was one of the signatories of the Bill. As a co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, he was in a position to put the ideals of the Bill into action. Amazing books saw the light of day thanks to Tundra. Notable works include James O’Barr’s The Crow, Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell, Dave McKean’s Cages, Rick Veitch’s The Maximortal, and Scott McCould’s seminal Understanding Comics. James O’Barr and I worked together at Tundra with our own books as well as a comics and fiction anthology we edited together called Bone Saw.
Unique award-winning animation utilizes panels from the original comic book combined with 3-D models, props and practical effects. The result is an adaptation with its “bookness” more intact than any other book adapted to film.
Based on the epic graphic novel by John Bergin, From Inside is the story of Cee, a young pregnant woman who finds herself on a damaged train traversing its way across a post-apocalyptic landscape. War, famine and a mysterious plague threaten the train’s passengers as they search for a new home.

“[Director] Mario Van Peebles was very passionately involved with the score, and wanted to focus not just on the action and the espionage, but the relational and emotional music,” said Williams. “For him the quieter cues were as important if not more important than the full on action cues.” –Vents Magazine
Timothy Williams utilized a full range of sounds to highlight the intensity, jeopardy and tenderness during key moments of the film. As much as you’ll hear the power behind the heavy percussion and massive guitars, you will also experience gentle strings and exotic instruments.
