karelm 2,913 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Where exactly is this music in the War Horse OST (0:54 complete with the modulation at 1:17 or is that an edit from another track)? This is probably a bunch of edits throughout the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a beautiful score falling somewhere between the JW Americana of Superman "Leaving Home" and the anglophile Jane Eyre. FYI - they aren't the exact same. The tempi don't line up so perhaps an alternate take in the trailer. The Plowing track is slower but the same music. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had what he came for - the fertility idol. Killing Indy was just a bit of sport for the Hovitos. Belloq wasn't lazy, he was just digging in the wrong place. Anyway, his - and everyone else's - fate was sealed, the moment they looked into the Ark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 In the 40 years of home cinema, companies and studios surely learnt about the phenomenon usually called "PAL speedup". By the time we got to DVDs, how the hell didn't they figure out that they could counteract this by producing a slightly slowed down copy (not a big deal in digital, I think) so the PAL speedup would only restore the creators' original intentions instead of distorting it? I know LotR, for example, did fix the audio pitch somehow, but how and why did the practice not become standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 You can resample the audio to a different frequency while preserving the speed, to correct the pitch of the score while still adhering to PAL speedup for a PAL release (I have no idea how exactly this works technically, and how much sound quality is affected). But you can't change the *speed*, not without creating serious frame rate issues, i.e. jerky playback. NTSC 3:2 pulldown does something a bit like this by transferring 24fps film sources to NTSC half fields of different lengths (alternating between 3 and 2 half fields per frame), producing noticeably jerky effects (especially noticeable in slow horizontal pans) compared to the smoother PAL transfers. Aside from the increased resolution, 24fps support was one of the major improvements of the Blu-ray format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I would go with the LLL set of the Blue Max and Quartet version of Papillon but alas they are both sold out. I think the Tadlow re-recording of The Blue Max is excellent as well. I think they captured the spirit and energy of Goldsmith's original very well.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 What could be described as the differences between Paul J. Smith and Oliver Wallace? I know they don't sound exactly the same, but as someone who practically has their animated film/short scores ingrained into my head forever, I've never been certain how to tell the two composers' styles apart, especially since they collaborated at least once (Cinderella). I've never been able to find much in-depth info on either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
