Sundance Day 5

Gotta catch up....

The last few days have put us into a bit of a routine. On Thursday, we got our first cue to score: a scene from Disney's "The Tooth Fairy". A challenge for me as I've not worked on many fully orchestral scores. Turned out to be a lot of fun.

On Friday, we got to see all our our different versions in the screening room. Very cool to see how everyone interpreted even the tiniest details. We also got to see George Clinton's original version as well as the written score. It was interesting how many of us did many of the same things that he did.

We were then given our next cue: a scene from the period film, "The Great Debaters" starring Forrest Whittaker and Denzel Washington. This was scored originally by our program director, Peter Golub. Our guest composer at this same time was Randy Edelman. We watched our scenes together on Sunday morning.

That afternoon we had "off" so most went hiking but I had my family stop by for a quick visit. The night ended with all the composers at the Owl Bar with Peter.

Today, we all worked on our most recent cue: a scene from "The Taking of Pelham 123". For some reason, I got through this one fairly quickly and was able to move on to getting ready fir my 10 minute presentation tomorrow for the directors that are coming out.

Sleepy now...
