The Musical Secrets of Silent Film
Added 2019-05-31 15:32:36 +0000 UTCWould it be too meta if I just left this part blank and let you guys talk about the video?
Or would that be more of a 4'33" joke?
Either way, this video was super fun to make, because I got to sit around and watch a bunch of movies I'd never heard of before.
But for real though, this is a topic that I'm probably going to come back to at some point, just because there's SO much information thanks to the internet now.
Tons of people are talking, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens in the future.
I wonder if we'll ever see live, improvisational film scoring become a thing again.
I don't know, but I sure am hoping!
And as always, thank you all for your continued support.
I literally could not do this without you.
