RATATOUILLE SOUNDTRACK 18 THE PAPER CHASE MOVIE
Originally the end of Ratatouille didn't end with the song, but rather ended with just music (the snappy, swung second theme as the movie ends).
An example I could use would be for Ratatouille. Often even after all the music is recorded on a film, there will still be an additional "fix day" to make last second changes. One day has been done already, and a couple more days are coming up. Ratatouille was done this way (there were a few days recorded early on, then the bulk was recorded in April) and Wall-E is following this pattern. Since it has to do with the Ratatouille score, here's part of it again, followed by some other stuff below: I already posted this, but it was in another area so some people might have missed it. Here's some more trivia about the Ratatouille soundtrack. I don't think it made it to the soundtrack CD, but was still pretty fun. Until then, however, I will be perfectly happy to keep listening to Ratatouille.Yeah, though it was a short cue. Giacchino has yet to let down his fans, and, having been given the scoring duties for the coming Pixar release Up!, great things are on the horizon. While The Incredibles may be the more impressive of the two, just because of the precision with which Giacchino succeeded in imitating a genre, I confess that, as a listening experience, I prefer Ratatouille. The general opinion of this score seems to be that it is fun, but not as good as The Incredibles. The theme makes frequent appearances in the score, and works wonderfully in every context. Because of this, the song and score keep continuity with each other, and each compliments the other. The melody for "Le Festin" was originally written by Giacchino as a theme for the movie, and only later did the idea of turning it into a song and having French singer Camille sing it come about. This time, however, we are given a taste of how a song could fit and improve a score wonderfully, and it would do movie producers good to take notice. It is well known that I usually disapprove of the pop songs which often get thrown on to a movie. Which brings us to "Le Festin", the one song on this album. "The Paper Chase" is in a more traditionally orchestral vein, and uses the main theme to great effect. "Colette Shows Him Le Ropes" is probably the best example of the above outlined style which Giacchino chose for this project, and is definitely a standout track on the album. While this may seem like a broad range of instruments, it is orchestrated well, so that it never becomes overbearing, but instead uses its differing groups to create a playful effect, jumping back and forth constantly between instruments. Acoustic guitars and bass guitars are around for much of the score, combining with a drum kit, as well as many orchestral instruments, such as strings and woodwinds, while the brass gives it all the band flare. Much of this score sounds more like band music than full-blown orchestral textures. Giacchino makes extensive use of it, employing it as if it were a normal part of a jazz ensemble, and this is the trick to Giacchino's combining of French textures with playfully animated music. In Ratatouille he pulls both of these attributes together to create fun, stylistic score.Ī word of warning: If you cannot abide the sound of the accordion, stay far away from this score. He has also become well known for his incredible ability to write within any musical style, and create a unique listening experience. With the release of Ratatouille, it is safe to say that Giacchino has established himself as one of the, or perhaps the preeminent animated movie composer working today. When the production team for Ratatouille ran into complications during production and brought in director Brad Bird, with whom they had previously had great success in the popular The Incredibles, it came as no surprise that his composer of choice would be Michael Giacchino, whose score for The Incredibles had been met with as much enthusiasm within film music circles as the movie had with the general public. Beginning with his very popular Medal of Honor game scores, each successive release has been greeted well by fans and critics alike. Michael Giacchino is probably the fastest rising star in the film music scene.
