Setting up to maximize workflow
Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2024 2:20 pm
Hey all,
I happily just signed away my next 8 weeks to score another film (yay!), and I'm just wondering, "How do other film composers set up DP before you even start doing any creative work?"
A few things: The Production team and I haven't had a spotting session yet (that'll be in 5 days), so I have a little time to prepare. We've already talked about the sound world (what I call my "sound palette"), which will be pretty basic with strings+piano. I don't have a stock template for scoring because I work on a variety of things. So for every project I create a new template specific for that film and load up a couple V-Racks with what I think I'll be needing. With those things out of the way... what is your process like?
Thanks!
