When independent filmmakers are restricted to a small budget - nothing like the budgets of superheroes and magicians today! - they must find someone whom they can trust to bring the same level of cinematic sound to their final film as any large-scale Hollywood budgeted blockbuster. For years Christopher Young was a force to be reckoned with in this category. He was able to bring an incredibly big, dramatic sound to smaller budgeted films. He enhanced everything he was assigned to. He made these smaller films more believable and important. And, he cemented the Christopher Young sound into Hollywood. Film score fans everywhere will talk to anyone about the Hellraiser film scores, Hard Rain, Wonder Boys, Spiderman 3, Ghost Rider, The Monkey King, Copycat, The Shipping News, Set It Off, and so many more unforgettable film scores made by Christopher Young. Murder in the First still stands as one of the most beautiful scores written for the silver screen. If you have any interest in film music, listening to this episode is a must. Christopher Young was generous enough to give us many stories about composing for movies. So sit back and enjoy one of the greatest film composers talk about his life, his process, and his film scores.
