Last week, our Co-Founder, Brian Hall<\/strong> spoke at CreativeMornings<\/strong> on his life and relationship with composing music for film. One of his main points was how music plays a powerful role in film. Not only can it support the general mood of a scene, it can also carry a heavy presence in telling a story and how we perceive the emotions of each character.<\/p>\n

Getting into the holiday spirit, we’re using footage from our tree-cutting excursion with three different soundtracks that each tell a unique story.<\/p>\n

1. Marching into battle<\/h3>\n

Federale<\/a>‘s “Tribe<\/a>” channels the gritty, daring, and mischievous qualities of a spaghetti western. This track gives you the impression that our characters are marching to the final fight. The bombastic soprano and general irony of the music against this scenery also somehow makes our heroes feel quirky\/clumsy\/awkward. <\/p>\n
