Composing for Moving Pictures is an excellent tool for amateur or professional film composers alike. -- Terence Blanchard, jazz musician and film composer [T]he perfect Swiss Army knife for learning the multidisciplinary art of film scoring. This one-of-a-kind text delivers just the sort of comprehensive and practical understanding professionals really need on the job. - Chris Mangum, Emmy Award-Winning Composer [O]ffers a wealth of material not offered in the same manner elsewhere. The sections on Delivery, Collaboration and Archiving, Best Practices and Troubleshooting are a must read for any professional user of Logic X, not just film composers.
