This video is intended to portray a small sample of one of many topics covered in the on-stage discussions between director Charles Wilkinson and composer Richard Bellis. Charles and Richard, both teachers and authors in their respective fields, hope to bring an awareness of what music can and, equally important, cannot do for a film or media project. The information is presented in a manner intended to encourage a meaningful partnership and creative dialogue between filmmaker and film composer and is designed for a combined audience of film and music students.

The “animation” used is a Previz tool for directors touted to be the next generation of storyboarding. It has its limitations but we thought it appropriate given the subject matter.
