Our first score is due on June 21st, one week from Friday (!!). We received both of our three-minute clips today. One is from Jimmy Neutron, which we'll score with the large conducting orchestra. The other is from a movie called Greenlight, which is a creepy clip that we'll score with the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble. For those who might be interested, the latter clip will be recorded at the Great Divide Studios. Very chic.
The outing tonight to the Incredible Hulk was fun, though I think there is still some ice-breaking that needs to happen amongst our group. It's funny, everyone who meets me asks if I'm a singer because I apparently have a strong singer-like personality, i.e. not at all like other composers. I think they are definitely onto something (excluding my ever-fantastic roommate, of course)...
Finally, a fun anecdote. The director of the program, James, was going over some of the basics of the studio with us today. He informed us that we are not at all allowed to bring any food whatsoever to the studio... Apparently two years ago one of the students was working late and brought some dinner back with him and was cornered by a BEAR, who was clearly in need of a snack. Yikes!!

Dave,
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Getting your butt kicked is a good thing as long as it brings you closer to your goal. My advice is to be faced in the right direction! ;-)
Have some fun, too!

Nevew!
Laura Mercy, such rigor! One does hear that such builds character ... but, of course, such can also be a royal pain in the ... ahem!
Jimmy Neutron! One's Hero! Now, if only you had access to his Time Portal, you could provide yourself with all the time in the world to complete the assignment (unless you've remembered to pack your Time Turner!)!
Prepare for blast-off!
Love,
A.M.
