Anyone who has ever poured their hearts into something knows that there are few things more brilliant in the world than the feeling that comes along with recognition for it. Of course, we all dive into our passions without a need for praise or acknowledgment, but when that passion crosses over into the domain of creative outlets, it’s lovely to see it pay off in a significant way.

Composer Jongnic Bontemps knows that feeling all too well as evidence by a video circulating on social media shows an emotional moment Bontemps had when he saw the poster for Rise of the Beasts at a local theater, and saw his name on the bottom of it. The video brought a tear to our eyes this afternoon, and we have a feeling we aren’t the only ones.

The look of excitement on his face says it all as the person filming the experience zooms in on the poster with Bontemps’ name, and he begins to jump for joy in the halls of the theater. The Transformers franchise is something monumental, with viewers flocking to theaters to see larger-than-life Autobots, Decepticons, and the soon-to-be-introduced Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons, and it’s only getting better with each new installment.

With early screening reactions praising a killer soundtrack and perfect music moments within the film, it goes without saying that every piece of this film works together to create the perfect summer movie experience, and Bontemps’ contributions to that can’t be understated.

Those who saw the video have called it wholesome while congratulating Bontemps for a job well done, and we can’t wait to sit down in theaters next month to see and hear Rise of the Beasts for ourselves.

So grab your movie-loving besties and your whole family for this one because the Autobots need your help to fight a great battle; it all kicks off on June 9, and here’s to Bontemps — may he feel that excitement for weeks, months, and years to come.
