Steve Nguyen FlipHD: George Shaw, Film Composer

[carolalouge]

I love your video! Great help, I've learned so much from your video.

[majin2912]

Nice music. It's refreshing to hear actual orchestration, melody, harmony, and good phrasing. Some people might think it sounds old fashioned but I think it's just solid composing. Good job! Kind like the nod to Williams' Ark theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

[sheebshag]

Isn't his conducting movements a little over the top considering the music's slow and relatively soft sound? Just struck me as odd. I'm not a conductor though.

[jazzmatik]

Do you have to be a conductor to be a film score composer?

[TheDigitalMonk]

@jazzmatik no, but it just helps to cut out a middle man and get exactly what you've got in your mind to the players. If you want to, you can conduct, you'll be fine.

That is so cool. I really dig the interview and your job

[blewupmyhead]

[gilbertwade4996]

I had a goal since the 4th grade too. Only it changed when I hit 6th grade, then 8th and twice in 9th. Now I drive a dump truck. Such is life.

[cutesycottled]

Bring on the orchestra. this kicks butt

[willUBmine2day]

Is this really shot on the Flip HD - i didnt expect that quality for the price of the camera

[GraveMarty]

yeah i am amazed at how some of these newer cameras can perform

[poppalegbaprctc]

The inside of hollywood - exposed, very cool vid series

[hugeantman]

Paramount studios is the best

[gsmaestro]

It's unfortunately also now closed down. Apparently it was too expensive to keep open, and they want to turn the historic scoring stage into offices.

[darrenluvsapril]

The music quality George brings to the table is impeccable

[sigor3]

I would be so stressed coordinating so many musicians

[reallyrealreally]

So the entire video was shot with the flip hd? impressive/

[gsmaestro]

It's a nice life, but also lots of work.

[HappiesHappy]

Keep living the Dream George

[gsmaestro]

Thanks, I'm definitely living what I dreamed of years ago. Though it's a lot more work that I thought it would be.

Intense interview.

[brendasherone]

Thanks for the inside scoop Steve

[bopsypopsy]

how many instruments do you play?

[gsmaestro]

George here, I'm actually not sure, I have a closet full of ethnic wind and percussion instruments that I've collected from around the world. But my main instruments are Clarinet, Piano, and Guitar.

[magicpigs]

That would be so cool - composing for an entire orchestra and films

[reneerocket]

Park City Film Festival Rocks

[poptopstops]

Thanks for another behind the scene conversation

[rocketraft]

[mylowinks]

I was the opposite. when I heard the greats like Beethoven, I ran the other way thinking I could never make it

[brrrcoldiam]

[bradonlives]

I never had the focus as a kid.  Starting at 10 years old would have been too cool. alas I must look forward. Great interview

[gwensworldnow]
