MillimeterSmartSound and International Documentary Association Host Workshop and Screening on Soundtrack Creation for Independent and Documentary Filmmakers
Nov 22, 2004 4:38 PM
WHAT: At this unique soundtrack-creation workshop, independent and documentary filmmakers will learn the latest tips and tricks to create professional-quality soundtracks for projects of any budget. Filmmaker Rick McKay will share the secrets he used to score his award-winning documentary Broadway: The Golden Age, including how he used SmartSound technology and music to score almost a third of his movie for about $500. A screening of the movie and an open Q&A session with McKay will follow the workshop.
WHO: Rick McKay is an award-winning producer, director and writer. He was a segment producer for five years on WNET-TV New York’s City Arts, the most honored locally produced show in TV history. McKay also produced the first story commissioned for the national series Egg: The Arts Show, as well as helping to create the opening segment of the previous two Tony Awards broadcasts.
Broadway: The Golden Age has won more than 15 best film, best eocumentary, and audience awards and has been a hit with critics and audiences in its national release. It tells the story of the Broadway stage through interviews with dozens of theater stars spanning several generations. The DVD of the movie has just been released, and autographed copies will be available at the event.
WHEN:Tuesday, Dec. 7, beginning at 6 p.m.
WHERE: Culver Studios’ Ince Theater, 9336 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City, CA.
WHY:Creating a professional-quality soundtrack is a growing concern for independent and documentary filmmakers and editors. Frequent time and budget constraints make it very difficult to score projects to a level that meets their standards. This event will show filmmakers new ways to effectively score their scenes.
COST:$10. Seats must be reserved and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets can be ordered at www.smartsound.com/workshop or by calling (818) 920-9122.
