NMR Artist Spotlight: Eclectic Musician Seychal-Mills on the Pink Panther Theme Mashup Thoughts from the Artist The idea behind this album was to build music only with sounds taken from movies from the 1960's – noises, voices, and tiny bits of music (a piano sound here, a trumpet there, two notes played by a guitar...). The result is a blend of electronica, concrete music and, of course, cinematic music. Actually, I'm planning a few performances with this music, and already working on the next LP, which is not sample-based. About the artist Seychal-Mills A track entirely made of sound material coming from the movie "A shot in the dark" (Blake Edwards, 1964) – yes, it's one of the "Pink Panther" movies Film(is)music by Seychal-Mills

Join host John Debney as we take a step inside the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop with Richard Bellis, an internationally-respected incubator for emerging film composers. Each year, 12 handpicked participants get a month's worth of advice and insider's perspective from studio executives, agents, attorneys and music supervisors. The centerpiece of the Workshop: the opportunity to record their original composition with an "A list" of Hollywood professionals, including a 60-piece orchestra of LA's finest musicians on a major studio film scoring stage, a legendary scoring mixer, professional music editors, copyists and composers acting as coaches and mentors. If you're a serious composer working towards a career in film music, this is the Workshop for you.

This was the footage from a program for apsiring composers. It brought guest speakers from the highest levels of the film and TV music industry. It also gave participants the same tools used by professional screen composers - including the chance to record a cue 60-plus piece orchestra.

Here is something to think about: 70% of a viewer's movie enjoyment lies in the quality of the sound Not 5%, or 25%, or an even 50-50%. In other words, most viewers prefer watching a cruddy movie with an AMAZING soundtrack than watching an inspiring and well-written story that has a junky soundtrack and the noise of jets from the nearby airport wrecking ever-so-inspiring dialogue.  Another over-done mistake by You Tube and amateur directors is including the latest Top 40 hit as their soundtrack. Unless you have worked out copyright and license arrangements with the artist, while your video may have Oscar -worthy performances and a compelling script, it is no more than really go...
