My Expertise
- Composer for Film and Television, including "Apex Legends" a video game with 80+ Million Worldwide Players
- Masters in Scoring for Film, TV, and Video Games from Berklee College of Music
- Conducted the London Symphony Orchestra ("The LSO") 50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
We will be watching clips from famous films. I plan to only use films with a PG-13 rating or less. If I do use a clip from an R-rated film (e.g. Schindler's List, Braveheart) it will NOT be a section with R-rated content.
