A Laughing Matter

After writing about Music for Photographers, I’m switching to another genre I’m passionate about: Music for film and TV! I’ve been very lucky over the last couple months to do some work with Punch Films. If you’re not familiar with Punch, they are the visual masterminds behind the Tin Caps promo. Since working on Tin Caps with Derek and his team, I’ve had a chance to do several other local and state wide spots, each of which brought new challenges and new opportunities.

Although TV ads are the bread and butter for Punch, every once in a while they will put together a longer work that gives them a chance to stretch their legs a bit, show what’s possible. Derek came to me with this spot, looking for music. His request? Write something that’s like Desperate Housewives that doesn’t actually sound like Desperate Housewives. And this is what I came up with. Enjoy!

Part of what makes working with Punch so much fun is Derek’s business partner, John. John does comedy and does it really well, especially when he teams up with Jeff Rogers, the lead actor in this spot. I’m very lucky that part of my day job is writing music to help make people laugh! I’ve got a few more Punch collaborations to share, by the way!

Thanks for stopping by. Oh, and if you’re a photographer looking for more new music, I’ll have some by the end of the week. Promise!

Much Metta,

John
