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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have tremendous respect for film composers.
Film music has a great history of composers and performers.
I think of myself as a film composer.
Every time I see a film or TV show, I think about how that composer made those choices and how that director envisioned music and how that could work onstage or in a film and how you could support that even further by putting lyrics to it.
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.
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.
I'll probably always write film scores. It's the one place where a composer has almost unlimited resources at his beck and call. When music you have written works well in a film, nothing can beat it.
It would have been more obvious to go into film, based on the generation before me, but the generation before them were all composers or classical musicians.
There are so few directors who are musical who appreciate music.
In the film work, I love to work mainly from the script and from talking to the directors, so a lot of the music, big portions of the scores that I've made, have been composed before the movies were even shot.
