What's a sports car without tires? Sure it may be nice looking, but how can it move ahead? What is a cell phone without signal? Why not just get an iPod and a camera at this point? What's a bird without wings? A bird without wings is simply just a much slower and less agile chipmunk. What i'm getting at, is that, no matter how wonderful my documentary MAY turn out based on footage and aesthetic, without music and graphics, my documentary is just.... eh. Music in film, (and simply life), is a necessity. You could watch a black screen without music playing, and still imagine what could be happening based on the nature and the tone of the song. With that being said, I have reached out to a very talented singer, songwriter, musician, producer, designer, and simply any sort of creative activity you can picture. This individual has a strong developmental drive and a special ear for putting a tone to a vision. This individual goes by Dan Swank. Dan is a senior at Westminster College studying Broadcast Communications and pursuing his music career. Recently, he spent a weekend in Nashville recording a new track with a very renowned and established artist in modern day music (Rian Dawson- drummer of All Time Low). He is a very incentive, and knowledgable student who has never disappointed. Dan has produced soundtracks for a Horror film project that myself and a team worked on recently, along with the music for the trailer for "What's Behind the Trees." Next to the music, text and motion graphics are like the 22" gold rims or the 4G LTE or the wings of the bird for the documentary; the icing on the cake. These graphics will be used to establish the intro, the ending, help to introduce characters, and pull together all forms of art into one project. The graphics will be done by your's truly, as I am confident, and have a strong background in creative programs such as Photoshop and After Effects. These graphics have been sketched, and many digital variants have been worked on. Soon enough, this documentary will come to life. For now, let me worry about the technical side.
