Instructor: SCOTT SMALLEY
Join
top Hollywood film music orchestrator SCOTT SMALLEY ('Batman,'
'Mission: Impossible,' 'The Insider') for this intensive 2-day weekend
course which explores in detail how to create the 'Hollywood sound' by
featuring a special study of music from the top film composers of
today. Included are 370+ pages of scores and sketches that are used as
examples for detailed analysis throughout the course.
With
emphasis on the craft of balancing the orchestra through voicing
techniques, the course provides specific, detailed information about
how to achieve the most dramatic effects in each of the orchestral
families.
Another aspect of this course is the importance that
samplers and computer technology have in today's environment, including
specific techniques that can be used to achieve the most accurate
depictions of real orchestra.
Here's what our students say about this course:
'Scott
Smalley is one of the best orchestrators in the world, and when it
comes to big Hollywood symphonic film score orchestration, he is THE
MAN. And many of his specific orchestral ideas are being used all over
Hollywood, either by him, or by others imitating him. This is the sound
many directors want. Scott is VERY interested and motivated in sharing
his knowledge with other up and coming composers, arrangers and
orchestrators. He has most definitely put a lot of thought into how to
pass on his knowledge to other people, has extensively analyzed the
works of the composers he has been working with over the past 20 years,
and has figured out ways of 'thinking about it' somewhat logically,
without removing the artsy creative side. I left the course totally
inspired and motivated.'
-- S. S. Los Angeles film and television composer
'The
Scott Smalley orchestration class is incredible. Just the score
examples and class materials are worth the price of admission. The
information and insight into the techniques of orchestration are
priceless.'
-- M. N. Los Angeles film and television composer
'The
seminar was a great experience for both of my souls, the composer in me
as well as the orchestrator. Smalley gave us a great inside look into
the scores of different composer/orchestrator collaborations, with nice
before-and-after examples.
