Scoring for Games

Scoring For Games

With Austin Wintory

 

Date: June 8-9 (Saturday – Sunday)

Schedule: 10-1:00 / 2-5:00 PDT

In this 2-day course AUSTIN WINTORY will provide rare insight into his approach towards scoring for games and the process of development/production.
  • ” Where do we start” ?
    Present a diverse array of Austin Wintory previous projects by delving into the genesis of each concept. Explore the initial insights and discussions that shaped the musical direction, essentially asking, “Where did we begin?”

  • ” Process, interactivity, design”
    Following that, Austin will detail the production process and development journey, with a strong focus on interactivity and design. Consequently, the task at hand will mirror his own experiences.
  • “Assignments”
    Austin will furnish a fictional brief for a “new” game and the assignment to the participant will be to create a pitch outlining the approach, a brief theme sketch, and an exploration of the envisioned interactivity and design elements.
