The Hollow

For a Mac user, I sure do seem to be running into a lot of integration problems that shouldn’t exist. Now that I’ve got my modest little home studio almost running smoothly, it’s time to start tinkering. At first, I might just make some film score cues that don’t fit any picture, but exist only to exist. It would be a perfect way to get used to the library of high-quality sound fonts I pirated from my friend Noah’s collection a year ago.

But what I should do is go ahead and make a demo score for The Hollow.

This B+ monster movie has been “in the works” for a couple years now, written by my brother and Dan. I read an older version of the script, back when it was submitted to and floating around the idiots at Lion’s Gate. Now, Dan is talking about directing it himself, starting next fall (he certainly has the know-how and the expensive toys with which to accomplish this feat). Obviously I don’t need to be working on this demo score right now, but I want to mess around with Logic Pro 7 some more. All I’ve used the program for before was to compose electroacoustic pieces, which I am obviously not enamored with doing.

The “current” version of the screenplay for The Hollow which I have been reading is apparently already undergoing further revisions. It doesn’t really matter anyway, because once filming starts, I’m sure more will change. For now, I just need to meet with Dan and go over some ideas, once I have some demo cues to show him. As far as the film itself goes (production, time table, content), I might as well let the good Captain speak for himself…
