If I were a six year old who had never paid attention to sound before this would be fascinating. Great stuff Paul!
Musicians often forget that TV and film depend on their work. Not the other way around.
Remember this the next time someone asks you to give a free license “for exposure” or “for the credit”.
Really powerful post showing how music and imagery can tell totally different stories
For a company that can show what magic can be done with sound, they should have done some magic on that actress’ skin!
For the true impact … play the video with music …. THEN … play it again with the sound off.
People don’t realize how integral music is to set a scene and convey feeling from video. Try watching a movie with the sound turned off and see how interesting or engaging the movie is. Heck, even the old silent films had a live organist to set tone.
This is terrible. None of the music is appropriate for the scene at all. Sorry. Just bad. You would never hear that on tv or a film. It shows why some people can do film work and others can’t.
While totally true, I don’t think that’s the point of the article.
Flashback: when folks saw the hallucination scene in the move ‘THE LOST WEEKEND’, they laughed when it was shown sans music. When the music was added, the scene became horrific.
Note that video games are a huge source of income for modern composers. Some of the music is amazing.
