There are so few directors who are musical who appreciate music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the major aspects of film composing is that it's not so much a musical thing as it is communicating your ideas with the director, who often does not come from a musical background.
With a musical, you kind of have to do a mind-meld with the book-writer, the lyricist, the composer, the director - sometimes the producer. I think that's a reason why musicals are the hardest form.
The great composers I worked with along the way, I always felt they were filmmakers more than composers. They would talk about the story rather than the music.
The director's job should give you a sense of music without drawing attention to itself.
There are wonderful composers and librettists out there. It's the lack of creative producers that is troubling.
A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be.
Film music has a great history of composers and performers.
Music runs through everything I do - I even think musically; even when I was acting, but, especially, when I am directing. Directing is very musical.
Music is so crucial to every film, I think.
Film composers are the most prolific music makers on this planet, and most of us are, like, losing our minds if we're doing five or more movies in a year.
