In this solo episode I break down the process of writing a musical score for the first time on my upcoming short film Crow.

Topics covered include:

• Why the advice to "specialize in one area" was never right for me
• Editing the entire rough cut with zero music in 10 to 20 second chunks
• Locking in sound design before any temp score so music never becomes a crutch
• Scoring all five cues out of order, starting with the final cue and working backwards
• Where the process stands now: rough guitar demos down, next up is re-recording
• Much more!

Big thanks to Soundstripe for executive producing the film and sponsoring this episode.
