Thanks so much for sharing your process. Changing the meter is such a simple but powerful "hack". I've had the pleasure of scoring a few short films (under 20 minutes), and was really challenged to sync key hits with action. When I get another scoring opportunity, I'll remember this little trick!

I´m discovering your channel right now and i must say your work flow and aproch are amazing. I loved when you said you wont go out of the referencial stuff and go for something fresh that goes with the intention, also when you talked about have a backup of sound designs that are usefull for a lot of situations (you´re right, that saves a lot of time and gives it to the creative process). So in short terms im glad to see your work! I´m also a composer from Argentina by the way, i´m a rookie in this thing of scoring and i love meeting colleagues from all the globe. Hope to keep knowing about your work! (sorry about any english mistake that i might done)

Hugely inspiring to see Guy doing actual work on a real show - thank you. Humbly, I reckon I could do this job, but I hear so many stories about the extremely short timeframes to turnaround music for tv and film that it terrifies me. So further kudos, for bravely pushing forward in the screen composer world. Happy to take feedback on how composers handle the timeframes and keep sane.

I found it really enlightening when you explained the timings I.e. one episode =22 minutes of music which = approx 1 week of work. So often I see YT videos that give the impression these pieces are composed/ mixed/ delivered in an afternoon......this leaves people like me feeling helpless not being able to compose like that. But your comments reassure me that this process, if done properly, takes time!

I do a lot of the same concepts as an editor. When I have people send me projects, sometimes they don't really have a lot of direction with it. I start off by going through all the audio (sound bites, stems, main track) and visual (A roll and B roll) to see what I'm working with. I then will note out points that add to the video and stuff that is just boring and lose attention. Next I build up the sequences and focus on how each section adds to the full sequence. A lot of brainstorming and communicating to get the final product out. Thanks for sharing!

iam a dubbing director and we are the last link in the chain. I always asked myself how is the workflow before. We just get the M&E (Music and effects) and O-tone Voices from the production company. When i add your time to our time and imagine the time and money of the authors, animators, actors, foley artists before. its crazy that the watching time is so fast ... and its easy to make a hasty verdict. since them iam very careful with bad critisim on films and serials. The effort that was put inside a production deserves respect! Greetings from Berlin

The changing meter idea is used in almost every film score I have. At first just looking at these score, I'm asking "Why?" but then looking at the film it becomes easy to match the hit points which answers that question by putting film & score in sync. What I don't see much of are retards and accelerandos. Tempo changes often occur on completely different scene changes. Really great to see Guy putting this together.
