	Saw this posted over at Score Reviews. It's pretty interesting, and goes more in depth on the process of film scoring than any other documentary I've seen. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

	Yeah, I watched that last night. Very cool stuff. I hadn't heard any of Williams' score for Jane Eyre until I watched that doc and the main theme sounds strikingly similar to "Across the Stars." -----signature----- "Okey dokey, Doctor Jones, hold on to your potatoes!"

	Oh yeah, I actually saw this last week. Very awesome stuff, and as a young composer, I found it very inspirational. -----signature----- "Baron Of Not Catching On" of the JCC Shiny Council http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=shinycouncil Sir Cellulitis of Lardipuss of the Knights of the Round Espy I believe in mermaids

	only finished part 2 now, but that bit about the Carbon Freeze love scene is hilarious really the thing falls completely flat without the music "I love you" "I know" ... okay, who cares, let's just freeze him and be done with it we've had plenty of threads wondering how certain scenes might sound with other music, but important scenes without music? I wonder how many would work -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

	That was wonderful! I can't believe I've never seen this before, and that it wasn't added to the DVD Trilogy release! Johnny's reaction to his first viewing of the "I love you." / "I know." exchange is priceless, and his reaction to the LSO's [almost-brilliant] sightreading of the end of the "Mynock Cave" cue is pretty damned funny, too. "OK...OK...oh boy!" -----signature----- Star Wars and Responsibility: "It's not my fault!" - C-3PO "It's not my fault!" - Lando Calrissian "It's not my fault!" - Han Solo "Hey Slim, are you wearin' my underwear?

	Yeah, they definitely should include this documentary when they release the saga boxed set. I liked his "Good sightreading!" line, too. -----signature----- "Baron Of Not Catching On" of the JCC Shiny Council http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=shinycouncil Sir Cellulitis of Lardipuss of the Knights of the Round Espy I believe in mermaids

	There's so much Star Wars stuff out there that will probably never make it to dvd. but this was awsome! Meeting John Williams would be bigger than meeting George Lucas, for me. -----signature----- Yuri A. Rentfro rodan70@hotmail.com www.myspace.com/yuriwankenobi

	Absolutely agreed. I have an insurmountable amount of respect for Williams and very little for Lucas.
