GoodMusician 56 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 here's my most recent edit. It's the Pod Racing scene with the original music (with the percussion track, not the alternate used in the Gungan Retreat)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVZu7hLSqq8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I think it might be better next time to mute the original sound. I can hear Escape from Naboo poking through a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodMusician 56 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I realise that. I ripped the audio channels,and I tried to mute all the un-needed audio and leave as much of the sounds as I could. I'd thought about going back and just replacing the pod noises ... It's hard to replace the music... it's really meant for demonstrative purposes only. To show what migh have been.I also had this odd problem when I ripped the audio from episode I, it all came out really slow...so I had to speed it up. You can see at the end it's just a hair off beat from the film. I may re-do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Brausam 216 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Haha, well there should be less "artistic freedom" with comducting.

Becuase sometimes...well I just don't think some of them are trying to communicate anything other than dynamics. Its annoying.Aren't dynamics part of artistic freedom? Artistic freedom is why you become a conductor. The reason you like a piece in the first place is because of an interpretation of the conductor. You can like one one conductors intretation of a piece and not anothers. It brings freshness to a very tired repetoire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superman 0 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (regarding previous post: Uhm, that really doesn't sound like a youth orchestra (although the sound quality is a bit too poor to really be sure). The trumpet section is remarkably good, even by world class standards. The horns are doing a great job too. Some of the syncopation work is weird, though. Overall a pretty professional performance I'd say. If that's a youth orchestra I'm floored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxfan 128 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I didn't think the Japanese conductor was "that" bad. You do see him giving the beat and meter at least sometimes. For me, the worst I've seen was Claudio Abado (who is supposedly world renowned) conduct Dvorak's 9th symphony (my favorite non-film piece) on PBS a few years ago. I couldn't see anything logical in what he was doing... which is probably why the players just never looked at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrongBad992648 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 There is SO much more to conducting than most think. It is NOT all about keeping time and dynamics. That's what highschool directors, and a lot of "mediocre" conductors worry about.The ones that transcend the medium, and become great don't neccessarily even show the beat. But they put forth the emotion or feeling they want out of the piece. I, personally, would much rather be conducting the mood of a piece than giving 1, 2, 3, 4. And most times, GOOD players would want that too. They can count. They don't need to be shown. You should only show the beats on intricate pieces such as the Rite of Spring or any very metrical pieces. Naturally, a good conductor also shows cues...but meter is secondary. Really it is. I've seen some good conductors leaning one hand on the back rail of their podium with their baton moving wildly in the fashion they want the music played. I suggest watching Bernstein and seeing how much he really conducts the meter.I mean, otherwise, without conductors' interpretations...what's the point of having over 100 versions of Beethoven's 9th? If all conductors just showed what was on the page with rhythm and dynamics...they'd all be carbon copies. That's why the greats all put in their own interpretations of lines.

Foxfan 128 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Are you calling Williams a mediocre conductor?At least with him, most of the recordings and performances sound alike, unlike some conductors that play pieces that slow down or speed up unnecessarily and musicians don't all follow at the same time.

StrongBad992648 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Are you calling Williams a mediocre conductor?Absolutely! I know I will probably get screamed at for this one...but he IS only a mediocre conductor. The guy is a performer, and a composer. He gets the job done with his conducting...he goes into the studio and records his music perfectly to the screen. In no way am I saying he can't get the job done.However, if you watch him conduct for a whole piece up close...there are hardly any inflections in his conducting. He usually only conducts the beat. And in his old age, he is a bit "wobbly" with his pattern in the first place. So before you freak out on me...YES I am a huge Williams fan. But is he an amazing conductor in the field of Bernstein and Toscannini? Nope. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMan 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Although I like his conducting, I totally agree. He is at best a performer and BRILLIANT composer!

StrongBad992648 0 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Undoubtedly the Superman March would be better. Absolutely undoubtedly. And yes, I too would love to hear it. I really would. I mean, there are some aspects of a March that just are prime by the time the orchestra even reads them. But the love theme, and other aspects of it...even if they are just subtle. They would be better.Again, please don't get me wrong.
