My role in the score
I built the first-draft score from Dan Jones‘s music — proposing what plays where, offering multiple options for each cue, and making the case for the choices I believed in as his creative collaborator. We refined it together and then with the director and other stakeholders across successive passes, focused on what best served the picture; most of my suggestions carried through, though the final call on the scoring was Dan’s as composer. I also handled the final mix edits once notes came in from the dub.
