    The first time I heard an Alexandre Desplat score was for "Rise of the Guardians" and I was so moved by that heartbreakingly beautiful score. I was surprised to also learn he did the score for "Argo" and "Monuments Men" and how both those great scores sound so different from "Guardians". He's versatile. I loved Michael Dyanna's score for "The Natvity Story", how he created a score out of beloved Christmas hymns, opening their scope, transforming them into sweeping musical backdrops. Always gives me chills. I can't say enough for the rest of the composers. I've always enjoyed Patrick Doyle, especially his score for "A Little Princess".

    Composer Patrick Doyle was recently recording at the Sony Scoring Stage, marking his first Los Angeles-based scoring session in almost a decade. The last time Doyle recorded a score was in 1998, and he marked his return by scoring the Fox-Walden family adventure Nim’s Island with the Hollywood Studio Symphony. Directed by Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett and based on the novel by Wendy Orr, the film stars Jodie Foster, Gerard Butler and Abigail Breslin.
    At its largest size of 57-pieces, the Hollywood Studio Symphony manages to sound like 90, in no small part due to the composition as well as the orchestration, which was done by Patrick Doyle, James Shearman, Geoff Alexander and Dwight Mikkelsen. Shearman conducted the orchestra through the cues, while Doyle stood next to him ready to give feedback and support. From big energetic action to softer emotional material, the score sounded much larger than the number of musicians would imply.
    Scoring mixer John Richards certainly contributed to creating that larger soundscape, with microphone placement essential to capturing every aspect of the musicians performances. Music editor Chris Benstead and synth programmer Christian Howes, along with music producer Maggie Rodford assisted Doyle from the control room, as Vinnie Cirilli recorded the score right into ProTools.

      Lord Vader0727 Interestingly, Marco Beltrami was a former student of Jerry Goldsmith; he declared "without Jerry, film music would probably be in a different place right now. I think he, more than any other composer bridged the gap between the old Hollywood scoring style and the modern film composer." And Goldsmith championed Danny Elfman as a film composer when others dismiss him as nothing more than a rock star with no classical training. He even points out that among the Silver Age composers, Goldsmith and Morricone were "the two guys who have had the most versatile careers and whose body of work is phenomenal and unpredictable".

    Shame on the team of The Hollywood Reporter. In the roundtable it had only one woman, and we can't See Her face because the crew didn't film her. Or the filmed and the editor didn't puta her close up. How sexist is that? a roundtable of men and the male interviewer gets unnecessary close ups and the female interviewer gets none? And what about that wide shots? Clearly hiding the female and showing more of the male interviewer. Shame on you.

      If you automatically assume it's simply because she's a woman, then it's you who's being sexist. Shame on you.
      Maybe she had a huge pimple on her nose and specifically requested not to be filmed. Or whatever. A multitude of possible reasons. If she were a bloke, you would have thought of them. But because she's a woman, the only possible reason you can think of is "she's a woman". You sexist prick.

    • @pedrobuson5880
      @pedrobuson5880 7 років тому +1

      +Schwallex I think is safe to assume that in the probabilities between she requesting not to be filmed or whatever, and she being hidden (and the fact that she is the only woman in the room) it is more likely that the reason is in fact that its because she is a woman. And another thing, she has way less space to question the guys. And there is also the fact that even when she asked questions, the didn't give her a close up or anything. Dude, for you to think that I'm being sexist by questining why a woman has no space or representation in a interview leaded by a crew of men, this is questinable about your speech.
