What Is Leitmotif? (And How Do You Use It?)

Intro to Scoring for Film & TV is hosted by composer and Soundfly founder Ian Temple and features interviews with some amazing film and TV scorers, including Emmy-nominee Amanda Jones (Black Lady Sketch Show, Home), Oscar-nominee Gary Yershon (Mr. Turner, Peterloo), as well as Hollywood composers Sherri Chung (Riverdale, Kung Fu), Ian Hultquist and Drum & Lace (Dickinson), and Andrew Orkin (Save Yourselves!, The Next Thing You Eat).

This course is an exploration of the ins-and-outs of how to get started scoring on your own, made with a heavy dose of admiration and love for the art form of scoring along the way. We collected input, additions, and insights from a number of amazing professionals working in the field, and leaned on their expertise to help us put it together. And we explored a number of different famous cues to see what insights we could glean along the way.
