[Fmpro] Scoring a Comedy Film

[Christopher Alpiar]

As composers we are wont to be neurotic, deep, often dark, usually  
cynical and jaded on some level, fighting our own demons about whether  
those notes are "good enough" and can ever be "good enough" and  
digging into the pulp of our emotion and souls... a LOT of times being  
light hearted and silly is the hardest thing.  Good luck with it  
Claude! I would give you the name of my therapist but then I would  
have to stalk you... haha ;-)
