When during filmmaking does the music supervisor start getting involved?
Not early enough. We’d like to be there from the beginning. We’d like to start before they start shooting the movie. But it rarely happens, unless it’s a movie that has a lot of on-camera stuff. Then obviously the music supervisor has to start to be able to supervise the on-camera music. But if there isn’t on-camera music, the supervisor can start, and often does, around the time that they start editing the picture in the post-production time. That’s usually the time that I’ve been hired.
