Jumping Off Bridges

A little while ago I started working on a few pieces of music for a short film called 'Jumping Off Bridges'.

I can't remember whether I have spoken about the project here or not, but it is definitely turning out to be quite a challenge. I've never done anything on this scale before.

The other evening I had my second meeting with the films director where I showed him some of the rough demos I had produced and had a little chat about exactly where to head with the seeds of ideas that I had.

It was a really positive exchange - he seemed pleased with the ideas that I had and more importantly, was honest about the elements he wanted changing. I now have a really clear idea of what it is that I need to do next.

This afternoon I have been working on some music for one of the scenes where we both felt my initial ideas needed tweaking - the results are already sounding exciting and much more developed then in my rough demos.

Although I mustn't get too carried away with myself, or over complacent, a certain amount of confidence over my work and it's direction is essential for this type of project. I'm really excited to see how the finished film will turn out with my music accompanying it, although I mustn't kid myself that there isn't a hell of a lot of work to do in the meantime.
