I have had a life long ambition to score a movie…whatever that movie may be. This last weekend the dream was completed, and the movie played at a major theater in my home town. What a complete rush! There was about 250 people for the premiere! The movie is a zombie movie…but really it’s more of a goofy action adventure movie. The trailer is online (i did the music for it as well)
Very cool! I like how the music shifts. I didn’t really notice when, but at some point the investigatory flutes give way to the stabby guitars playing the same line as the tone of the trailer changes, but I don’t feel hit over the head with the transition. (Sorry, I am not a music theory person; that’s the best I can put my impressions into words.)
That’s awesome. It’s been a dream of mine as well, but I got sidetracked several times. (My desire to film score eventually led me to giving my own opera its world premier. Sort of.)
What technologies did you use? Was there a click track?
I composed and timed the music on finale 2009. I then matched a click track to the score in pro-tools. I found that it was the best way to have a well composed soundtrack that lined up with the onscreen action. It worked very well for me.
