Allie: It starts with a sketch based on the film's story. I consult with the director, build inspiration, and a sound pallet.
The sketch is tailored to fit the scope of the film. This includes a spotting session with the director, where we plot the timestamps of where music vs. silence will go. After a consultation and spotting, the creation of the score can begin. I generally seek feedback throughout this process as needed.
The third stage of the scoring process depends on budget. If allowed, a live recording session can be set-up. I orchestrate a physical score and sheet music for an ensemble to perform in a live recording studio. Ben assists with production. If budget is tight, this is where I collaborate with Ben to finalize mastering the mix of a synthesized score.
