EXTENDED - The Atrocity Exhibition, MUSIC

I have been speaking with one of the students from LCOM about doing some music/sound design for the project. He initially seemed keen but cancelled our first meeting because of illness and hasn't been in contact since.

The logistical issues we face with getting somebody else to score the film are these;
  1. We haven't even decided our animation workflow yet! We probably won't end up with a standard animatic to give him, as the film is going to be structured by 'themes' rather than scenes and won't necessarily have a traditional arc.
  2. We will probably end up doing quite an intense back-and-forth workflow with the composer as we might end up animating to the sound just as much as they compose to the video....
  3. We want to feel that the person doing our sound is familiar with the ideas and concepts in the book, but we obviously can't force anyone to read the original text.
If it comes down to it I am happy to make a stab at the sound myself, and Brenda is also up for doing some field recording, gathering audio-assets etc. Realistically this would solve all three major issues in one go, so apart from the fact that neither of us have very much sound experience, it does seem like the ideal solution.
