#22 Robert Mai | Composing for Film

Haven"t Made It Yet ·

2023/07/10

Robert Mai creates musical scores for films, video games and commercials. Having experience in a variety of creative positions on and off set has allowed Robert to look at the role of music in visual media holistically. Afterall, the music should accentuate something this is already present not tell the audience how to feel. At least Robert and I think so. He describes taking on the role of an actor when he communicates with the directors he is composing for. An approach that I certainly appriciated

Haven"t Made It Yet ·

2023/06/13

I met Joe on a commercial shoot after overhearing him talk about his D&D based passion project. He showed me the trailer for "The Dice Decide" and I instantly knew I wanted to interview him. Joe is one of those people that just seem to have the freelancer-in-hollywood thing all figured out. He would probably humbly disagree, but the guy gets free camera gear from name brands. For free!
