Follow me into a deep dive of a cinematic game trailer I scored and see how I thought about what music to write, how I mocked it up, and what it sounded like with live orchestra!
Roadmap:
1:30 - Going through the trailer with no music
6:45 - My mockup
25:10 - Live orchestra (with video of the session)
27:22 - Final mix (with sheet music)
29:10 - Blabbering outro

Special thanks to ‪@noOneStudio‬ for having me score this and allowing me to share the process on RU-vid!
And thanks to Mike Marino for the thumbnail.

Thanks for the video Jesse, such great, effective music. I'd love a walkthrough of your template! Are the (DIV) strings divisi? If so, how have you achieved that with CSS?
@jessehaugen
@jessehaugen 6 месяцев назад
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. A template video is definitely on my list of ones to make, so it’ll happen eventually. To answer your question, yes. DIV was for the divisi parts, but it was just a distinction for orchestrating. I didn’t actually have half the players in the section or anything. When I know it’s going to be live, I do my mock-ups as close to 1-to-1 as possible to make notating easier/faster later. Normally, I wouldn’t even have divisi parts in my mockup and would just duplicate the track (which is all it is in this case) or use a different library for the other layer.

Thank you very much for making videos like this, Jesse! It's a huge help for me as a hobbyist to learn and improve. I just have a question: You mention that you mainly get ideas on the go and don't have the full track in your head. This is often the same for me, but could you explain how you handle the process of tempo mapping and matching the footage to the beat, if you don't know exactly what you will be doing for the entire footage? I feel like doing the tempo map and spotting is the first step, but after this is done, I feel completely "locked in" and any ideas I get have to be forced to fit into the various tempo changes. Because if I want to change the tempo in the middle of the track, anything after it messes up and have to be re-done which is very time consuming... Just wondering how you handle that!
@jessehaugen
@jessehaugen 6 месяцев назад
yeah my pleasure, thanks for watching! This is a great question, and here's my boring answer..... just tempo map as you go! It won't lock you in and you can change whatever you want as you write instead of trying to fit into the prison of temp you've made for yourself by going through the whole video first. My general philosophy on this is find a general tempo that feels good for everything and then just make slight adjustments as you go and write throughout the video. I never go through and tempo map to hit points and everything before writing. I have them in my head, sure, but that's it!

wow Jesse, this was such a fun journey to go on with you and your beautiful score! I learned a lot and throughly enjoyed the whole video.. Please do this more! I'm just starting out and videos like this are so educational and full of nuggets of wisdom and it's also a lot of fun. thank you so much and man you did a wonderful job. I especially love the silence at the end right before the piccolo part.....great job

one thing that I would love to see a video on how to do is: how to take a project from midi and bounce to audio and then mix the project. I don't know much about mixing at all but I've heard that you need to make audio stems and then level and mix from that point. any help with this would be appreciated . @@jessehaugen
@jessehaugen
@jessehaugen 6 месяцев назад
@jswebbproductions9785 when I mix myself, I actually don’t do that! I just mix directly from my midi tracks. But honestly, more often than not I hire a mixing engineer for my projects!

Hi Jesse, I would love to see more of these walkthroughs. It's amazing to see the workflow of a professional composer and hear how "simple" ideas can grow into something that sounds super complicated. And also the possibility to compare the sound of midi mockups and a real orchestra. I wouldn't mind the videos being even a little bit longer for you to elaborate on your ideas and techniques. Thank you for sharing.

@jessehaugen 6 месяцев назад
I really appreciate this feedback! The walkthroughs are the hardest to make because it’s so rare that I can actually share video of my projects on RU-vid, but any time I can I will definitely be making them! I really love doing it and I’m glad it’s so helpful. I’m also glad to hear you’d be okay with them being longer, because I feel like I always make them too long haha

Hi Jesse, This was such a detailed walkthrough, and really fun to watch! Your video about the Indie Music Festival really inspired me to start composing my own scores. When I compose I think about how it will sound in an orchestra but I wanted to know, how did you create the sheet music? Once again, thanks for making these cool videos!
@jessehaugen
@jessehaugen 6 месяцев назад
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I created the sheet music with a software called finale and my process usually includes: cleaning up and quantizing all midi, exporting midi and importing to finale as a starting point, and then adjusting/orchestrating/etc to create the sheet music I’m looking for. It’s a completely different skill set than mocking stuff up and something I’m very thankful I studied in school!

Thank you so much! I’ve actually been trying to figure out if I should use MuseScore or Finale but now I know. I better get learning!
@jessehaugen
@jessehaugen 6 месяцев назад
@raspberrybubblegum2 please don’t take my answer as an endorsement for finale haha Finale is my curse to deal with all my life, but if I were to restart, I would probably do musescore or dorico!
