Special effects

Front-Ranger:
Thanks for the inside look at how the visuals were created, and also about the music! (I never thought of Shawshank Redemption as a feel-good movie, tho)

Penthesilea:
Wow, that was really amazing. Thanks for giving us the link.

The music from the trailer is the music from Shawshank Redemption  :o ?

If this is correct, then I am the living proof that (Aussie)Chris' theory is right: the viewer unconsciously transfers (good) feelings from one movie to the other.
But for me it went vice versa: Last week I saw Shawshank Redemption again. And for the first time, I noticed and liked the music. Usually I never notice the music from a movie (BBM was an exception to the rule). Before I never had noticed if there's music at all in SR. But last week I did not only notice the music, but actually liked it.
Gosh, I'm taken aback by this.

Ellemeno:
I enjoyed this, thanks, CoyotePiper (your IMDb name is on the tip of my keys...).

I especially liked seeing the moon put into place.

Ironic that the next sample was from a Coors commercial.  The Coorses would probably be twirling in their whatevers, if they knew they were right next to the Gay Cowboy Movie.

I made an Mp3 of an interview on National Public Radio with Gustavo Santaolalla from December 8, 2005.   In it he tells that he wrote the score based on the script and it was recorded before filming took place.  The director and the actors listened to it daily to enhance their performances.   The interview is 5:21 minutes and is too big to attach to the message here.  If you have broadband, email me at [email protected] and I will attach the file for you.  The file is 5.05 Mb.  Not as flashy as the excellent presentation about the special effects but well worth hearing!
