Tom 5,345 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 While only two minutes, that was one of the most original and heartfelt interviews Williams has given in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 41,373 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wow, when was the last time John Williams did a video interview to promote a film?I'm at work so can't watch it; What does he say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 2,463 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 That the score for War Horse is more performance oriented.The lyrical film requires a lyrical score that you can't do with new technology.the sessions were like playing for a concert..about Spielberg: He's comfortable with music, enjoys music..

Brónach 1,307 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I find it interesting what he says about filmmakers who actually aren't comfortable with large orchestral music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,848 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks for posting this Michael. A nice small Williams moment with great insight into the music and I must say that the score does have that concert performance sensibility to it.

He doesn't remember it anymore. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 41,373 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Finally got a chance to watch this. Was wonderful to watch him talk about the score this way. But damn, the editing in the video is atrocious, seemingly stopping him mid-sentence. I'd love to see the full interview instead of just these 2 short snippets.And no indy4, there are no spoilers at all in the video or on the page itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Oh okay thanks! Maybe the rest of the video will be released when WH comes out on DVD, like those promotional interviews for KotCS.I agree with Williams completely. One thing that's so great about War Horse is that you wouldn't be able to tell that it was written to fit within the paramaters of the film. It feels completely organic and natural. These types of scores are my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,360 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 That's a good point. In no way you feel the score is being held back or pushed forward due to the rythim of the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,732 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Willams could play Obi-Wan (in his old mentor years) in the reboot of Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
