I would agree except for Bach. Williams never wrote anything coming to within 1% of Bach's Jesu, IMO.

Didn't know where to post this here, so I used "Drama, writing". If you take a listen, I hope you enjoy it.

So I remember Mike talking about films making everything orange and teal. I've certainly noticed this, and it seems to be kind of the cinematographical equivalent of generic blockbuster music -- it's at the point where everyone expects it. I see it all over YouTube, and I find myself starting to think the contrast looks good. And sometimes it does.

Hi Mike, hope this message finds you well. I bought a couple of your products a few years ago, learned a lot from them.

Others just need to pay bills.

In your opinion: What other skills or Jobs are related to the craft of Film Scoring, get you closer to 'the' goal, or simply teach you transferable skills that will come in handy.]]> 5 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 07:48:08 +0000 https://redbanned.com/threads/are-you-or-were-you-ever-a-composers-assistant-in-la.777/ https://redbanned.com/threads/are-you-or-were-you-ever-a-composers-assistant-in-la.777/ invalid@example.com (Kent Kercher) Kent Kercher
My friend Kenny is putting together a really handy guidebook on being a composer's assistant in Los Angeles.

He's got a quick, anonymous survey that would be really helpful for any current or former Los Angeles-based composer assistants to answer.

Here's the link:

When the guidebook is completed, it will be shared with all members of Redbanned, absolutely free, with no obligation. There is no intention of profiting from this...

It's a thing of old series that in those years had less music than now, or are the nowdays production that contains too much music?

@Mike Verta what do you think about?

I worked on the score with a friend of mine; myself doing the opening newsreel march and him scoring the rest of the short.

Enjoy!

Mike Verta was not pleased, he said this must be a lie.

I found the video. Hopefully someone has more information.
