Widescreen Oscar® Winner	What is the shortest time a composer has had to write and record a score for a film (many will argue this point)? We're looking for the name of the score, the name of the composer, and the time with which the writing and recording had to take place.

OHMSS76 Oscar® Winner	I heard six days, composing and recording for Michael Kamen's WHAT DREAMS MAY COME per Soundtrack Magazine interview w/ the composer....or Dave Newman's I LOVE TROUBLE...ten days, using Alan Silvestri and a million other orchestrators.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	So, what previous Williams theme is heard in Phantom Menace? It's no Star Wars theme, and not even really a recurring theme, but just a bit of melody that appeared in a much earlier score.

Rang Oscar® Winner	The Fury?
posted 09-26-2001 10:31 PM PT (US)

Lancelot Oscar® Winner	that's such a crappy question.....no offense intended, M.S... i mean...if it were intentional, that's one thing....but calling out a fragment of a snippet of some score Williams wrote 20 years ago because it follows the same chord structure and saying "it makes an appearance"....really.... Yoda's theme was blatantly obvious. sorry...i'm slightly exhausted....i'm all of one paragraph away from the end of an emotionally difficult term paper, here, and i'm being combative, somewhat...please don't take it personally...
posted 09-27-2001 12:00 AM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Rang is right, and I didn't say it was intentional. But it's clearly the same notes, not just close or something. The question was still crappy though - because it appeared in every incarnation of the Trivia thread we had on this board so far.

Lancelot Oscar® Winner	that, too.... we need something like the Kevin Bacon Game, except with film composers....like "who can name more composers that scored film that both cuba gooding jr. and sam neill were in..." or some such similarity...
