It was great, you are in another world. There are good guys, boys swinging in a balloon over Africa, great adventures. So I loved scoring to science fiction, it's fantastic experience. I was affected and climbing the walls, I was in another world. This time they stayed here with me, we have family dinners, I play with my son, and then I go back to my writing and having fun here.
Work is intense, face it.
In the last three weeks I worked from eighteen to twenty hours a day. When I see my five hundred pages of score for a ninety six piece orchestra, I feel dizzy because this score is huge. It has great dynamics, big sounds, great tempos, fast and complicated time signatures, it has everything in it that Elia likes. The difference was, I sat here alone day and night, and I put this whole thing together myself with my engineer who follows me around like a faithful little puppy dog, he does everything that I ask him for, and he does it great. Of course I feel very nervous, it's my biggest baby so far.
