    SyncMan reacted to mrbellamy in Steven Spielberg directs his 1st Music Video (and no, the maestro isn't in it)   
    This has finally been explained; Carey Mulligan is Mumford's wife and was in touch with Spielberg through Maestro. So they just asked him to do it.

    SyncMan reacted to BobaMike in New Live to Projection Concert: Batman by Danny Elfman   
    I caught this last night in DC:  here is my quick writeup:
     
    Batman (1989) Live in Concert
    The Warner Theater in DC had a one night only showing of Tim Burton's Batman with Danny Elfman's score performed live to picture.  It was fun time, and the crowd was very excited to see the film.  I walked in behind someone in full Batman costume, which had to have been uncomfortable sitting the tiny seats they have there.  Warner theater was built in 1924, and is stunningly gorgeous inside, but man the seats are tiny.   The film still holds up- and looked great on a big screen.  
    Thoughts on the concert:
    I've been to many live to picture concerts (A Warner bros cartoon one, all the Star Wars films, Jaws, Casino Royale, and a few others- all played by the National Symphony Orchestra).  This was the first one that was played by an un-named group, the conductor not introduced, and no mention of the composer (other than the on- screen credit).  I guess with Danny Elfman's recent troubles he might be "cancelled" or whatever.
    I know the Batman score well- it's been a favorite since 1989, so I knew I would notice any differences.
    The orchestra played fairly well.  The brass seemed to struggle at times and didn't seem loud enough- the woodwinds were very loud in comparison.  The percussion was almost inaudible- I could see the guy playing the timpani but it didn't register.  I don't know of i the acoustics in the theater are meant for an orchestra.  On the plus, everyone hit all their marks, which is extra important with the amount of action and "mickey-mousing" in the score.
    The audience did not applaud Elfman's name in the credits, but went wild at Prince's...which was extra funny later, during the art gallery scene, where Joker comes in with a goon playing Prince on a boombox....except maybe WB didn't pay for rights to that song, because the scene was completely silent.  No music- just the grunts and SFX of the actors.  Some in the audience laughed, others were upset.  
    During the parade scene later, they did use Prince's song.  I think a lot of people expected there to be more than 2 min of Prince music.
    The end credits was the real end credits, but not Prince's song.  They did some more action music that I couldn't place (a new arrangement?) and then the Into the Batcave track again.
