In three weeks the U of T musicians will be visiting us, with their purpose in mind being specifically to work out the details of the musical score for your film. This important meeting between film-maker and composer is traditionally known as the the "Music Spotting Session."
To help you prepare for this meeting, Wednesday's Lecture and Workshop are both oriented to an explanation of the Music Spotting Session.
A while ago I wrote the music for Chris Walsh's short stop-motion film, True Family Story. We recognized our collaboration as a "teachable moment", so I saved the files I created as the score developed. These files now make a very effective demonstration of the collaborative process between a film-maker and a composer.
During the lecture (11 am, S235) I'll walk you through the three stages of the Music Spotting process as it took place in Chris's film, as well as play for you some famous and not-so-famous historical examples of "Temp Music" and musical scores.
The 2 pm workshop (A150) gives you a chance to "spot" your own film with me and the other students. Consider it practice for the real spotting session with the U of T musicians when they visit on January 29.
