New Project...
Well, I've decided to do something quite challenging with all my free time (or at least when I get free time.) I am going to do some movie scoring for films that have already been made.
I know it sounds weird, but I think it'd be nice training to see if film composing is really what I'd be good at doing. Of course, the movies I am re-scoring are vinatge films. The first one I plan to work on is Calendar Girl. It's an old romance musical about a songwriter who finds out that his girlfriend is going to be an artist's model.
The other movie I plan to re-score is a horror film called The Last Man On Earth, starring the one-and-only, Vincent Price (the guy who played the inventor in Edward Scissorhands... Fantastic actor... at least, he was...) It's pretty self-explanatory about what that movie's about.
It'll take me forever to write music for these features... I have to watch them, first of all. And I've never seen them before. I am going to watch them without any sound. That way, when I score them, I can compare what I've done to the original music (I'm sure there will be HUGE differences, considering my style and time period, but I just think it'd be interesting to do things this way...)
Yeah, so I have weird hobbies... As for now, I'm going down to the lobby to study.

Hey, that sounds like a fantastic idea! Have fun with it, eh? ;)
Oh! And Harry Potter is playing FRIDAY, @ 9:30. I think Chad wanted to go, let me know if you're up for it, too! (Just leave a message here, or e-mail me, whatever works buddy).
Here's a link (long-ass one, at that) to the page where it says so. Looks like it's also playing Sunday, in case Friday doesn't work out:
