Show Notes
In this solo episode I break down the process of writing a musical score for the first time on my upcoming short film Crow.
Topics covered include: Why the advice to "specialize in one area" was never right for me Editing the entire rough cut with zero music in 10 to 20 second chunks Locking in sound design before any temp score so music never becomes a crutch Scoring all five cues out of order, starting with the final cue and working backwards Where the process stands now: rough guitar demos down, next up is re-recording Much more! Big thanks to Soundstripe for executive producing the film and sponsoring this episode.
