The close up shot. I was in the studio recording some tracks for a film score. C4 Films. The director came into the recording studio, while I was recording for the film, and took this shot. It was for the main title/rolling credits before the start of the film. Was playing a Tele for this session, and using an alternate tuning to write/record a riff that would be used in the film.
Will track down for the video for this session too. What I gain out of working with a film director-whether I am composing/recording music or illustrating storyboards-is the collaborative, creative experience. It is very important to have that with a film director. It shouldn’t be drudgery, but a very exciting, artistic situation. You have come to come up with the goods, to give shape and form to a director’s vision, while at the same time having artistic freedom in the creative process, and having a creative, professional relationship with the filmmaker. And always, practice, write and keep learning. And don’t forget, listen to as much music as you can, all styles, all genres. You never know when you get hired for a film job, and you may have to play/write/record a certain style of music that fits the overall theme of the film. Keep on playing and watch tons of movies!

Wow, what a powerful collaborative experience captured on image. I have no doubt the film will be beautiful. Be sure to put some clips of the score of your profile so we can hear it!

Thank you, Amanda and Debbie. It was a shot from a video that the director shot. Video footage. I have it in my music reel, but I am going to see if I can find the footage itself and repost it . The film came out a few years ago. I did music for the film Nightmare too. I have it in one of my reels I posted in my profile page.

Thanks, Sam. It was a fun/great session. A few years ago. Definitely. Before, I played in bands, did solo gigs and session work. Never thought about doing music for film or theater, but it fell into my lap. People I knew in theater or film approached me about doing music for their projects. So, I branched out into, that. With that and doing storyboards/concept art, I like working in film both as a visual artist and as a musician.
