That brass during the action cue!
Honestly, as EDM producer trying to turn Film Composer this helps a LOT. Usually I just grab a bassline, have a few notes that I know work, use a simple melody that repeats throughout, and add more stuff. Here it's like "do I start with a bass first to maybe ground myself a bit more, or think of a melody, or would this scene benefit from a character motif? (when I grab some random scenes to practice scoring on)".
You have some of the most helpful videos on CZcams. Thank you!
That's great to hear!
Thanks for sharing your work!
Thanks, as always, Anne-Katrhin, for imparting such knowledge and wisdom. This is absolutely educational, so much to take away, already. I just cannot wait for part 2!
That was amazing. Thank you for being so helpful and insightful about your creative process.
I get so much from these videos! Thank you
That's so great to hear!
Thanks for sharing your process. This is literally film scoring from a real working film composer. You are such a great teacher.
Brilliant as usual Anne, cheers!
Thank you!
Thank you sooo much for these videos ! I figuered out few of these advises by myself through practicing on projects and through questionning my workflow when i got stuck on these projects. That's why it takes many time to get a strong workflow. So THIS serie and your other videos in general are a blessing and it contains so many tips that the gain of time is incredible. Thank you again for sharing this !
What a great and interesting walk trough, thank you Anne-Kathrin!
Thank you so much Anne-Kathryn… I really appreciate the way you approach orchestration . I am learning a lot watching you work and I use your expertise to help me become a better musician.
What an incredible video and resource for us to see! Thank you so much for sharing; it really helps to demystify the process when you lay it out like this. Suddenly, it all seems more do-able, and less daunting (while still being a ton of work, talent, and skill!).
A real "how to go about film cues" máster class. What else could I say but thank you, Anne.
Thank you for sharing this excellent and helpful video. It merges composing music procces, production, scoring, orchestration point of view, etc..
Thank you..!!!
Thank you for posting this! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
This is AWESOME
What an amazing video Anne! So kind of you to share this.
This was literally one of the „funnest“ things I have ever done in my life. The writing and the Abbey Road Session with you was an absolute blast!! Thanks again for having me on board 🙌🏻.
My pleasure!
I love your channel, Anne. I admire your talent so much! This was amazing, and super educational. I never thought about how film composers were able to work so fast but it really makes sense now.
Glad this was helpful!
Watched this the other day, loved your theme! 👏
Thank you for doing this! It answered many questions, and a few I hadn't thought of!
Amazing!
Amazing!!!! When you said "the film is on Netflix" I had to pause the video, an went watching the whole film and then returned after to see the rest of this video :-) I think that your music was really perfect for the film and enhanced a lot the movie that is per se really quite enjoyable and was a pleasure to watch and hear: the contrasts between the emotional and the tension moments of your music are really wonderful and the energy and expressiveness of your themes and scoring are very powerful. After it I enjoined even more your explanation. Thank you very much for this in depth behind the scenes videos: very helpful and inspiring! Also very interesting to see how to create the material and how to use and expand it, and the decisions how to orchestrate the piano sketches!!! Wunderbar!
This is awesome!!
That was great, thanks ! Looking forward to the second part.
Glad you enjoyed it! Second part is already in the making and just a few days away. It just takes some time to get all the material cleared by the studios.
Thank you Anne-Kathrin for these insights, very educational.
Removing most of the bottom end of the orchestra during the "jump" sequence accentuated the visuals of the ground being removed from under their feet. Breathtaking and brilliant decision from you. Another great tutorial! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!!
Cool music and great orchestration of one. Thanks so much for the overview! Best! Serge.
Once again, thank you so much for doing this/these.....I learn so much from you...
What a great way to learn how to get your work order from zero to hero. Logical steps and logical thought processes to help the creative mind Express music. Thank you so much for this video as I look forward to the next one.
So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! The next one is already underway. :-)
Thanks Anne. Very useful and insightful.
This is great! Can’t wait for the next one! I agree that the piano sketch is crucial in these complex cues with full blown orchestra and choir. I’ve learned this the hard way! Haha! Cheers!
Amazing deconstruction !!!! And amazing work as usual :)
You are a very talented lass, Ms. Dern!
Thanks for your amazing videos.
Wow, this is a masterpiece!
really enjoyed this! nice cue too!
Thank for the insights into your workflow and process. These are immensely helpful in learning how to score my own little creations.
I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. Highly, highly, highly inspiring.
👏👏 Thanks Anne for this insight. You gave me a lot of confirmations with this one! Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks for watching! Part 2 is already being edited... :-)
@@AnneKathrinDernComposer NICE! I have my coffee and I'm ready.
This is truly priceless education, thank you so much!!
Always a pleasure to watch your process and work Anne. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Now this is a lovely crossover! Love your channel, Christopher!
amazing video Anne, very helpful - thank you !!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing your hard earned experience and knowledge with us 😊 I've always thought the 2 - 3 minute if music a day including mockup sounded crazy, as I always use more time than that in scoring scenes for competitions (although that is probably partly because of inexperience). This process with first making themes or a suite to the movie to have the base material and themes already in place to work out from makes me understand how this great workspeed is possible. Also piano sketching makes a lot of sense and is how I scored the last two competitions I did, and it was a lot faster than writing directly to orchestration which I've tried before😊 You always make very clear and concise videos, and so glad you take your time to share with us, thanks!
I am thankful for this Great tutorial
Thanks very much for this! I follow your channel and I’ve gained so much insight and knowledge from all of your videos. This one in particular is a lot of fun and really hit the nail on the head for me. Thumbs up.
So glad to hear you find my content helpful!
Amazing video!! Very insightful. Happy to see its normal to be exhausted after writing 3-4 minutes of heavy orchestral in 2 days!
Thanks for the video! Just found your channel and I love the advice and in depth discussions you have here.
Here it is! I can't watch it until tonight, but as usual, I know that I will learn a lot :-) Thank you for this amazing channel, so much interesting
This is so insightful! "I can live with one bar I'm not happy with....." love that! Showing this process is a game changer for an inspiring composer as myself. I can write music for different genres all day long; however, the film music composition process is on a different level on the music production spectrum. Again thank you Anne! Coffee on me also....
What an amazing composer!
Wonderful music
I admire your talent !✨ Thank you for sharing a great work.
I've just finally caught up with this video. There is so much useful information here about the process in general, and the details of the process you actually went through in this particular case. You explain the points clearly, and explain why you did what you did - and whether you are happy with it or not. Thank you for generosity and hard work. Now, go and get many more gigs so you don't have time for this! (If you want.)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bravissima Anne...Big Hug
Wow! This is so helpful. I´m starting scoring videos and to see this very professional level is so inspiring. Love that theme you´ve compose for the soundtrack
Thanks, Anne for sharing this with us
So happy to hear that!
Super gemacht! Macht Spaß, zuzuschauen und deinen Workflow kennenzulernen, sehr inspirierend
Vielen Dank!
Great work , waiting for next parts of this series ☺️👌
Great video as usual! Thanks for sharing such a detailed walkthrough of your working process! I'm learning a lot from your videos😄
Wonderful! Thanks for watching!
This video is so instructive and helpful to understanding your processes. Thank you!
So glad to hear that!
I recently subscribed and I’m loving your content!
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Great video, thank you !
Really great video, thank you
This is really helpful, and it sounds super good :) great job!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I loved the video, really insightful! I've got a couple of questions if you don't mind:
1) I've noticed that the automation (mainly cc1 and 11) in this mockup is relatively less detailed than the one in your "Lord Of The Rings" mockups. Is that because you knew this cue was going to be recorded and hence it didn't need that level of detail? was it because of time constraints?
2) When you go from piano sketch to mockup, is it strictly a matter of copy and paste midi notes (plus the whole production side of things of course)? or you add tiny motifs and elements here and there to round up the arrangement?
Congrats for your success! Huge thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!💪
What a stunning composition the amount of work hear is a ton load your ear for counter melody is superb Anne love the brass arrangement very regal fantastic best wishes from UK England Phil 👍great video
Dern.........You have such a gift for teaching. So many great lessons here........ and great music!!!!!!!! (Meter shifts over tempo shifts was an eye-opener for me) I will unashamedly copy many of your work flow techniques and am grateful always to you for sharing. Wish you a great weekend. Going to Netflix now...............got my popcorn. 🙏🏾🌞
Thank you for the possibility of an insight. Some of your remarks are really precious e.g. a signature change is better then tempo change or on hiding the signature change at least a bar before a new segment begins. I will follow them.
Fantastic! Took me about four 'listens' to make my way through this, but it was awesome and thank you for sharing and teaching. You made something that seemed impossible at least a bit more understandable for me.
Спасибо, Анна! Вы прекрасный профессионал, и красавица.
Wow! Vielen Dank.
Hi! I just discovered your channel.
This video is like gold for me, I am currently enrolled in a film scoring class!
You are so good and clear on explaining, love your work!
2 minutes of music a day, good to hear that. I was already having self-doubts when a music supervisor recently told me about a composer who supposedly composes 15 minutes of music a day. I didn't want to get into a discussion and just thought, sure, probably a 15-minute pedal tone with a four-bar piano loop. Thanks for this video, Anne.
I remember when you walked through this at Columbia! So amazing to see your process again! I appreciate this content!!
Yes! I believe there was substantially more swearing involved though 😅
@@AnneKathrinDernComposer that is entirely possible 😆
Very insightful video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh this series is gonna be good!
I sure hope so!
Great great stuff! I would really love you to make a video explaining all these pre production things you are talking about (the theme, a counter theme, ostinattos, the sounds you choose and why, how you come up with a melody and develop it, etc) Those "first 10 days" as you put it are very very interesting for me (even more than the rest of the work). Thank you very much Anne for these videos. All the best. Cheers from Argentina.
Came here to say this. 100%.
@@michaelneedham3151 Exactly ! Those first 10 days are where everything happens. The rest is just pure DAW labor, although also important, but… that you can just learn.
The first 10 days are what’s the essence of this entire game…
Thank you for this very interesting video ! It's a great pleasure to follow your explanations. 🥰
19:58 - yes. Lydian mode. Not only brightest but also tends to have a sense of awakening, which is perfect here.
Thanks!
Oh, this is SO good, Anne-Kathrin! Thanks for another awesome video. And lol at the reference to people who write 6 minutes a day. I think I know exactly who you're talking about. I used to follow this dude who apparently does 20 films a year. If only we were all so lucky! 😏😂
The 800th like is from me ;-) Great and educational video, AK! Interesting to see that your workflow is that similar to mine. Thx for showing this.
really appreciate this walkthru of your approach! "Meter vs Tempo" is something I struggle with, but you've made it more clear why these choices matter.
I'm stunned to see how similarly we use Cubase (this could be driven by workflow) but I wish you'd show the synthrack on the right panel sometimes.
THANK YOU!!
Thanks.. as always .. super helpful :)
Thank you very much for your time and dedication to show us how a professional like you creates music for movies, your music is beautiful, interesting, exciting, thank you very much again for your generosity, you deserve a looooong of coffees, for now I'll send you a couple hahahahahaha
Great stuff!!
Thank you!
A video on planning, and theme writing would be amazing!!
I am new to your channel and wanted to thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed insight into your workflow. I score as a hobby and not my profession but enjoy orchestrating and writing to picture. Looking forward to learning from you! Thanks again! Would love to send you coffee!!
Wowowow this is soooooo cool 😎
I think honestly, this video is even more intense than the action scene. Really the possibilities are limitless. My DAW says it wants to play hehe
Best CZcams viddi tutorial yet Anne 🎶✨
Thank you!
I identified the damage presets as soon as you played it :P good ol damage
great learning ,thanks for this :) Love from India
Wow that's great stuff Anne !
Thank You so much !
Glad you like it!
@@AnneKathrinDernComposer I would like to know how many days it took you to produce such a fab score on your PC ( whole film score not including recording sessions. )
We had about 30 days to write. However, a lot of time is also lost with preparing the recording sessions, printing stems, preparing files for the orchestrators, proof reading the scores etc. - then we had one more week for recording and mixing.
Great content!
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I became you fan. You are so honest with you stuff, other youtubers hide up so much their composing, their libraries and stuff. Congrats. BTW did you played the piano while skeching or did you write the midi by hand?
tks for the content.
Wooowww
I love the 'jump' at 1:58
Danke, Anne! Das klingt immer, als wäre die richtige Musik am richtigen Platz. Die "transitions" bilden da übrigens keine Ausnahme. Deine Organisation- es ist die pure Freude, da zuzuschauen. Hav det sjovt!
Haha, vielen Dank!
Perfect video..i like this,successful..🥰😘💋♥️
Really useful channel
