lowdown Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Nice little 15 minute video, real time scoring to Animation. Guy Michelmore is the Composer (son of Cliff Michelmore) Web site [url="http://www.deepwaterblue.net/"]http://www.deepwaterblue.net/[/url] I did Guy's Music for Media course about ten years ago, and very handy and informative it was. If you fancy a full on Composing for Picture and Media distant learning course, this one is certainly worth considering. Animation scoring in action.

lurksalot Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Very clever , he makes it look so easy and intuitive , but it does come across as it could easily become a job of work rather than composing , if that makes any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Very interesting! Kind of reassuring to know there's no magic to it. You're right though lurksalot, he does seem quite unenthusiastic about it towards the end...

essexbasscat Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Referring to the topic in the title, folk used to play piano in real time synchronisation (often composing on the spot I believe) alongside the very early black and white silent movies.

lowdown Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 ^^ Yep real time composing in the traditional sense or improvision was very much part of early films. There is still quite a bit going in fringe theatre, just hunt through Youtube, there is some great stuff relating to it. Composing for TV animations (The old Simpsons episodes come to mind) or American sit coms/dramas, have daily episodes going through various seasons and have/had a very quick turn around (hours) So it may seem unenthusiastic, but a real art in spotting to picture, and knowing exactly what feel to play/write and at what precise time/frame cue. Not like the Basschat comp where you have a whole month for a static image to get it together. [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] A real skill no doubt , but when you have done 104 episodes already , the fun must wear off a bit and the art becomes a bit more formulaic. With regard the comp , the whole process is relatively new to me and I woulkd need a month to record the 20 seconds of music he did in 10 minutes , but I haven't sussed midi yet either , so its mostly done the old fashioned way of 20 takes to get one I like .......for each instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
