I don't remember much about the month of May. Except that one day sort of tumbled into the next with sleep an afterthought as I composed each evening and recorded musicians the next day for over three weeks. Both Colin and I logged some overnights at the office, which I found to be less than pleasant, but despite the unruly hours we completed over 68 minutes of original music, for approximately 40 cues and covering a multitude of styles from jazz to orchestral. We threw together a writing room in the back so that Colin could continue mixing while I figured out the next day's cues. And on top of which we had to deal with many technical challenges.
We were happy with the result and the film, "We Believe", a documentary addressing the relationship between a losing ball team and the city that loves it, premiered June 12th at the Chicago Theater to an enthusicastic full house.
At this point I am not sure where it will be released in theaters, out on DVD or on the air....but I'll let you know. The film is a lot of fun and features cameos of many well known Chicagoans, a sprinkling of history, spotlights on 7 team members, and lots of beautiful footage of our home town.
Working on "We Believe" was a lot of work in a short period of time. And having been accustomed to creating :30 or :60 second compositions overnight....it was an eye opener. But it was a fun and creative experience from which I feel made us ready for the next feature project to come down the pike.
In the meantime, we are resuming our work on commercials but remain in the ready for the next feature.
