In 1998 I got my first assignment to write and record music for a movie. A friend of mine asked me to compose music for a 3D movie about the rebuilding of the historic Dutch ship Batavia, including a movie about the history of the Batavia.
This had to be ready for the historic trip to Australia and the opening of the 2000 Olympics on the 15th of September 2000 where the cd-rom was available. On 25 September 1999,

the new Batavia was transported to Sydney by barge and moored at the National Maritime Museum where it became the flagship for the Dutch Olympic Team during the 2000 Olympic Games. After it's stay the ship was towed to the ocean once, where it sailed on its own. On 12 June 2001, the ship returned to the Bataviawerf in Lelystad, where it remains on display to visitors.
