Let's say, Steve Jobs, Danny Boyle, I was writing the stuff before they even start shooting. Danny's playing it on set, it’s inspiring him to shoot things differently. And then there are other films where– Let's give you an extreme example; I just did Ferrari with Michael Mann. I scored that entire movie in a week. It was crazy, and they'd finished the film pretty much.
Basically, how do I put this? He has a colorful reputation for how he deals with composers, but he's a really fucking amazing director, and so many of his films I absolutely love. So, I couldn't do it, and then they kept asking me, and I was like, “I can't do it, I’m doing other stuff.” Then suddenly, I had a window, but a very small window, and I was like, “Okay, let me have a look.”
I was originally just to come on to just do the racing scenes. He just wanted help. The racing scenes weren't working, and he just wanted to feel better. With Michael, the sound is so focused on sound and visuals and the impact of everything, and one of the big things with this film is the sound of those cars is the score in some ways, and the score must not tramp on that. The sound of those cars is a really important part of the story, so musically, I have to give it energy but create a space for the engines. So I just wrote really high frequency, high strings energy there, and very low stuff, so the engines could become part of the score as well. So I did a whole bunch of those sequences, and he's like, “This is great,” and then he just said, “Just score the rest of the movie.”
So I started writing on a Thursday, and we were recording the following Wednesday with an orchestra. It was really intense, but it meant—without it being like a crap cliché—being like a Ferrari driver of like, you just have to rely on your gut instincts and almost not think about it and just move incredibly quickly. Yeah, it's a pretty extreme experience.
