0:59 I am recovering very well. lets just say i have a newly-formed fear of mailboxes
Thank you for saving us CINEMA MAN!
You're welcome Xander- now excuse me I have an entire industry to save (whoooooosh)
@@ThinkSpaceEducation you’re the shit guy 😂👌
"There's no budget but it'll be a great credit and good for my career" hits too close to home if I'm being honest!
we've all been there
@@ThinkSpaceEducation I've got one credit on IMDB for one tiny short movie from Argentina. I made no money, I wrote and rewrote the music countless times and gave a never-ending series of alternate mixes. Basically, I broke my back. But hey! I have a film credit on IMDB! Can anyone spare me some change for a coffee?
Do people still use that line? So cliche.
@@noisesoff3985 Yes, and not just in music... anything...
@@0Jebus0 I dispair
I can't thank you enough for your videos. Your "madness" is so nice and sets an absolutely interesting tone. We never get bored and above all we learn a lot of things. Thanks Guy. Stay safe.
Glad to help
3.25. "That must have been every trombonist in... wherever they recorded this" I laughed thunderously loud 😂🤣😂🤣
Your intros are the best. You do so much for a TH-cam video, it's really admirable Guy. You make me smile and laugh and feel energetic and inspired all at the same time. Thank you.
John Williams and his reckless quad bike driving. Name a more iconic duo.
8:32 "I tend to have an approach when it comes to superhero things, because... I've done a couple."
You sir, are too humble! Those titles are some of the best-scored superhero music I've been listening to as a kid.
Glad I found your channel recently. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you
15:57 This is 15 years of Bond movies themes right there. Every single one of the Sony pictures ones... Would make a nice episode to shred them to bits.
I literally sang that variation of the theme out loud to the chords after reading this comment. Hilarious observation!
Gotta love it when Guy’s sense of humour makes your day even better.
Fantastic video.
Tempted to get one of those Stream Decks myself!
In all seriousness tho, I really appreciate your work. You have a very.. how to say.. emphatic way of approaching this. It’s the enjoyment and excitement paired with the knowledge and expertise that makes these videos very special. Even though I don’t know much about actual music theory while having collected quite a bit of hard and software, I am able to produce interesting things already due to the enthusiastic teachings of people like you.
These videos are always a treat and there’s just something charming about the English and how they approach this topic. To me, I think, it shows that orchestral music is very much ingrained in British culture.
Hi Guy, thanks for showing the struggle in how you develop a theme.
Those videos keep gettin better and better :D
Thank you - Hugh Floyd is the editor doing great work as always!
Guy, you never fail to make me laugh. I'm a composer and literature writer, and when I'm feeling out of creative juice your videos always inspire me but, most importantly, cheer me up. Thank you, good sir.
i don't know if you are familiar with that piece but "you say run" is an amazing hero soundtrack piece
Your energy is amazing, love the content
Thank you - you made my start into 2021 ! Love the way you make fun of yourself, but I see the many years of work behind. Plus having so much energy ! Keep going please .
Guy, you're a breath of fresh air. Thanks.
A brilliant video, Guy. Keep up the good work!
And Junkie XL Brass was recorded at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin, even the 12 trombones...
Thanks! Sounds great.
JXL Brass has taken a while to grow on me after my purchase. Recently, however, I've found myself starting a track with EWHO Brass Diamond or Cinematic Studio Brass, but then being much happier when I see how JXL would work with it. This even goes for the trumpets, which I thought were a weak spot, but now I really like them. It reminds me a bit of recent VSL purchases such as Synchron Strings Pro, in which I've become so used to EWHO strings, CSS, and anything at AIR that it took some time to get accept the different room sound.
Why doesn't every youtuber have this kind of energy?
This is Def one of the best humorous Vid I have ever watched from you Mr!
And thanks for the great representation of the junkie XL VST as well.
Two talents together tries to tilt the world..
Had a really long day rebuilding my Mac which is sadly dying, been frustrating, awful and expensive. So been miserable, then you my composing hero, appeared with Toms fantastic library, in your guise as cinema man, really cheered me up. Thank you,
This is why I love this channel
I simply loved this, The final cut was perfect. Gave me a good laugh.
Big up to you, Guy.
I love your point about not composing funny music for comedic scenes. Best example of a serious score with ridiculous scenes is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The music pulls you deeper and deeper into the implied drama, and then, “Ni!”
The intro made my day😂 thanks soo much
Guy, you are 12,OOO completely fresh breaths of fresh air. Your honesty and banter are absolutely wonderful and perfect for the videos you produce.
Never feel you are not liked. I am possibly one of a few thousand who look forward to watching you..... just to reclaim that freshness and the acts of being normal and comfortable with oneself, which you are. It is pure joy to watch and listen and learn with you on your videos.
Cheers from Nz. Happiness rules. 👍👍👍❤️👍👍👍
Happiness does indeed rule!
Great vid. Learned a lot about building from ground up. I know the time it takes to build. Thank you for taking the time to share.
This is brilliant, I love it! I thought the best intro ever was the one where you jumped in the pool with the MIDI controller, but this one tops that! Genius, hilarious and brilliant!!! 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👍
“Can’t have a Range Rover in one piece” truer words have never been spoken 😂
@@keenanvil That's it!
I think he understood, but changed it to one piece referring to the crap reliability of range rovers haha
@@rocketsciencemusic5398 thank you for getting the joke 👌
Love the videos Guy! I'm so glad you upload a lot!
Do my best!
Great Job Guy.
You have the right feel for the segment.
Clever
When experiencing writer's block with a tune, always remember that it took Beethoven 108 sketches to come up with his famous theme from the last movement of the 9th symphony!
you always inspire me to become better everyday. thank you so much
Saw the upload, instantly clicked :))
Enjoy!
@@ThinkSpaceEducation I have a dream of scoring an X-Men movie so this is RIGHT ON TIME!
Much as I love your videos, if I had bought all your recommendations, I would be down about 80k by now.
Great intro LOL
An entertaining and informative video as always!
I really appreciate the indexing of the videos👍🏼
Love your videos. I have learned a lot about how to approach music from you.
Watching this at half speed it fantastic! Content is Brilliant too.
For a split second (until I scrolled thru the video) I tought that you were doing collab with Junkie XL channel and my heart skipped a beat, but they when I saw that it was not a collab I was little sad. Could you maybe make it happen some say?
Actually, I also thought the same and it would be great to see the two together
Hi Guy,
As a professor at the Université du Québec à Montréal (music department) and a professional trumpet player, i can tell you with a great confidence that you are an amazing teacher. Your dynamism and your knowledge is refreshing. Tanks to share with passion.
I hope one day we can meet each other and...why not...maybe i will play one of your composition!
Thank you Thierry!!
You made my day. Thank you CINEMA MAN 😎❤️
I'm 16 and I watch your videos to familiarise myself with film scoring and orchestral programming... Got no money on me, only using Free VSTs made for sketchups... But Guy! I gotta tell you you're THE BEST TEACHER 😪🙏
This guy is so lovely.
Love you work sir! I admire your skill and good attitude!
I love you Guy, thanks ever so much for another great and educational video, and the project files of course! Man alive, this library sounds absolutely amazing! I would like to hear the finished version of your superhero score, because I like it a lot! 🤗 BTW, I love your Music Theory Course, and I'm writing my very first score at the moment. Thanks again Guy, stay safe!! 👏
My days are always happier when you pop up in my inbox. Shh! Don’t tell Christian!
Yay, wanted to try a more hyped theme! Great timing! :D
Guy, bring up the solo trombone with soft sustains. Butter I tell you!
Always love watching your videos 😁😁
For some reason this video had popped up on my home page. I clicked on it, and watched a bit until getting sleepy. (I work nights) and and just gotten home from work. Very cool video. I'm not a musician so don't understand a lot of musical notation. Only a bit of singing in school with very very basic note reading. Interesting to watch.
Love that you spelled it Stephen.
JAJAJAJAJA THAT INTRO MAKE MY DAY! THANKS CINEMA MAN!!!!!
This is why I subscribed. Best. Tutor. Ever.
Thank you
I wish I had a music teacher like you back in school!
Cinema man is the hero we deserve. But not the one we need right now. So we’ll like all his videos and subscribe, because he can take it.
Thanks Guy.
Awesome work Guy! :) ;) :)
Brilliant!
Thank you Guy it awesome and has alot of insight.
Great video, I’m so curious how do you change the lights on you Komplete Kontrol as I have one too mines are always blue.
super nice Sir Guy.
That's very interesting and cool! Great music and sound!! I like your tutorials! Thank you so much, Mr. Michelmore! ;=)
Hey Guy,
Big fan of your videos, you've taught me a lot and helped develop my music and find inspiration. I really appreciate, that you make these free videos on top of all the ThinkSpace courses. If you're looking for ideas for a new video, I think it would amazing if you did a video on scoring short animations, since those a used for most composition competitions (Love the sound of that). I've scoured the web for a video of your take on it, but without luck.
Thank you and all the best from Denmark.
As always great fun and great info👍
You made my day :)
Excellent épisode. Very instructive and funny. It's interesting to see that most of the time, the rythm is the key, the start of everything else. Thank you cineman, so many things i would like to tell you, if only I were better at english speaking. 😁🇬🇧. Cheers from France. Keep up the good work. 👌❤️
Ah, It finally makes sense ! :D , the need to make great content for us mere humans, the energy, humor !! you are a mutant ! Thank you Cinema Man for all what you have done for us........I was...having my sights on that range rover tho :/
Dark and conflicted? So would you pick a key with a lot of flats in it? Great series of videos.. always interesting to know how a composers mind works.
I remember hearing a story about John Barry assembling something like 12 or 14 French Horns for the recording of a flim score. When someone challenged that it was maybe a bit extravagant he replied along the lines “yes, but they sound great, don’t they?” He was right, of course - just listen to his score for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service!
Very fun, Guy and as always, teaching us some great tips. Thanks for the laugh and the info.
I do my best!
I love your videos x,D you even made your own super hero! haha. I also think the idea was awesome :D now stop doubting yourself and have some more fun with it cause its all pretty epic xD
This was actually really funny 😂
what library did you use for the great double-time rhythm you loaded up after dumping the not-working rhythm? was it a built-in rhythm pattern or did you build it with a sequencer? great rhythm!
each video gets better and better somehow
We do our best!
I just love you! ET theme for Spielberg.
You are a genius.
great efforts!thanks.
Super Guy...! Fantastic as usual 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thank you
My new favorite Superhero ever. 😂. We need a movie for this hero
The rights are available at the right price
this guy is so awesome hahah
I love that kingfisher mug! Where might I find one for myself?
Generic question: Now that Cinesamples is doing an entire month 50% off all their libraries. Would you be able to take a look at their libraries and which ones are best value to pick up now during the sale and in general? Personally I'm struggling to consider if CineBrass PRO is worth adding to my library as a CORE owner.
Hi Guy, thank you that was a great video! It was a bit distracting though that the main camera kept pumping with the focus or focused on the mic instead of you. I think I would set the focus manually and/or stop down the lens in order to increase the depth of field.
UR GENIOUS
No way.... this intro 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pretty good job !
From France
Class gooning Guy. Spike would appreciate it😂
Thanks for this SUPER fun video Guy! Best Birthday present! : )
Happy Birthday
Great video, thanks for great content 👏😸
That was great
No suprise that the bloke is dreaming about looking just like you. That sounds amazing, giving JXL a real run for his money now Cinema Man.
Nice Guy, and think out of the box :)
Excellent, Guy. Loved it. Amusing as always. PS - Some interesting shades of ELP's Fanfare for Joe Bloggs :).
thank you very much for this "fun" great tutorial, loved it, very useful, I tried to download from your site leaving my e mail but did not received anything unfortunately..
This intro is hilarious! :-D
:)
My friend (a new composer) and I (also a new composer) have introduced the SCEPTICAL SPECTACLES! 😎
Another good one from our friend Guy, thx a lot, you're the best!
I have a question and a proposal. You made several short videos available for score exercise in your channel. Are we authorized to put them on our TH-cam channel once done with our music? Some of your seashore videos might work greatly to show ability to score in different styles/feeling. Of course Thinkspace should be credited in the comment, and this would eventually spread Thinkspace name here and there, and probably you could even have some fun watching some of them!
And, if so, why don't you make a contest, so that the first X runner up win, let's say, one of your short courses? Just a proposal, of course (🤔 actually I don't think I would be able to win, so this is not for personal interest 😊).
Keep going and stay safe!
Love it 👍👍😂
I was just searching for the SHOW / HIDE feature for tracks being used today. Is it only part of the higher versions?
can you turn on the subtitle for this video? i cant to understand english language but i think your video so helpful for me
