New interviews this week:
Bear McCreary talked to Film Music Magazine. Snippet:
I like to use every project I work on as a chance to be a better writer. I’m fortunate also in that the show justifies this. Most TV is about establishing a tone and not deviating from it. And there is a tone on all my series. There’s also a sense of exploration that I really enjoy. I try to work with orchestral sounds and solos that I haven’t worked with before, to expand my toolkit.
I think if you go back to Battlestar Galactica, which was my first professional gig, the use of orchestra was very minimal, very restrained and then when I got into Caprica and especially Human Target I was able to explore more. That has continued through The Cape -- every week I’m trying to find new sounds.
I take a moment to pull aside a player and say “show me your instrument, show me how it works.” Then I get to go home and write a new episode and hear them play again in a week. There’s no experience in an academic environment that’s like that, so it’s a unique opportunity to get better at composing.
Another one of his shows, The Walking Dead, is now out on DVD and Blu-ray.
James Marsters posted the first video Q&A on his official site the other day. He also posted a video invitation to The Bard's Birthday Bash, an event that will take place in South Orange, NJ, on April 30. JamesMarsters.eu has a snippet from a recent interview with the San Diego LGBT Weekly in which he mentions that he will be recording more Dresden Files books and that there might be a new TV show for him on the horizon.
Kacey Rohl talked to the Vancouver Sun, mostly about Red Riding Hood (out in theatres now). Snippet from the article:
Currently in the midst of auditions for pilot week — the cluster of seasonal calls for new TV shows — Rohl says she had no idea that landing a role in Red Riding Hood would be a big deal, but she's beginning to grasp the career shift.
"I think this has opened more doors for me than I imagined it would," she says. "Before this, the biggest (part I landed) was in an AMC series called The Killing (a new series starring Mireille Enos from Big Love)."
And there are two new interviews with Avan Jogia. In the first one (on YouTube), he talks about Victorious (his show on Nickelodeon). The second one is on Celebuzz and it's mostly about his Straight But Not Narrow campaign. Snippet:
How did you come up with the idea to start Straight But Not Narrow?
I kind of found the idea based on where I’m from and the kind of culture that we have in Vancouver. My mother is a hairdresser so I grew up in a lot of gay culture and I have friends who have gay parents and friends who have gay brothers and it didn’t make a lot of sense to me that there was a huge amount of [separation] between the lines.
I thought, I have some friends who work with charities so why not I start a charitable campaign? So, I came to my friends Andre Pochan and Heather Wilk [of Cause Creative Marketing] who work with a bunch of charities and I told them that I wanted to start this charity campaign and we started moving on from there.
And coming to a TV screen near you:
Time After Time, a TV film with Carmen Moore and Richard Harmon, premieres on Hallmark this Saturday at 9 pm.
