A producer / New associate friend shared this clip. It’s good advice and I wanted to share with the composing group.
Both script and music are Alive- as I make changes to my music - from film to my contemporary music.
(To a certain point- we do need to get it out there - Public / certain sectors of this film / music industry).

Thanks for sharing the clip, Kerry Kennard. Steven Spielberg said in the video "We spend days spotting the picture. We sit and we run every reel and we talk about where there should be and shouldn't be music." In my opinion, some scenes need music, and some scenes don't need music. It depends on what's happening in a scene and the mood of the scene.

Who's your favorite composer, Kerry Kennard?

As far as writing concepts, prob. John Williams. I've liked some of Hans Zimmer movies (sound scapes). For the drumming world, it's still Dave Weckyl and Alex Acuna ! Alex is amazing - great player and coordination is awesome. I remember seeing a video how he does Clave with left foot, while all the diff. hand patterns on congas, etc. He's like Dave W. - Dave has some cool Coord. also, while awesome grooves and those ... not on 2 & 4 hits / syncopation. :~).

Hey Kerry, thanks for sharing those Spielberg nuggets of wisdom. Hope everything is going well.
John Williams and Hans Zimmer are my favorite composers, Kerry Kennard. I talked with Hans way back about doing music for a feature film I was producing. He was busy with another project though. He's a nice guy.

Wait, you were asking him to compose ? (as you're producing ? Many hats for sure, ... lol.
I've heard his voice / videos from the Masterclass series (Masterclass.com). Glad you met him..
From my drumming world, I met Alex Acuna at PASiC in passing (hallway) - seems like a great guy also. Haven't met any famous composers in this phase of my life yet.
I started a class with Michael Whittaker last month. It's quite intensive. I need to get back to the 2 min. H. Potter project we're suppose to write to. Michael has good ways to write I haven't learned yet. Mr. Whittaker is very smart in his writing.
( it's the www.ScoreCraftAcademy.com website - for more of his business and what SCA encompasses in his class and other online program).
I was a producer way back, Kerry Kennard. I mainly focus on writing now. Thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to hearing the project you're working on for Michael's class if you're able to share it!
