Description

Bill Withem, Composer and Instructor of Music, and Geri Alumit Zeldes, Associate Professor, Michigan State University
Composing music for film is part instinctual channeling of emotion, and part design through technique. This session will dissect the collaborative process between composers and documentary filmmakers, which relies on clear communication in order to strike the right chords and achieve the right feel. Composer Bill Withem and documentary filmmaker Geri Alumit Zeldes will share the best practices for combining emotion and science to underscore silence, ideas, and action in film projects, gleaned from their collaborations on nearly a half-dozen documentary films.
