Ian Neil (Masterclass)
Neil selected soundtracks for 127 Hours, Shame, Kick Ass, Control and many more. He discusses the job and its complexities, referencing his own work.
Overview
Instinct and ingenuity. That's a music supervisor's role, and few do it better than Music Supervisor Ian Neil. Referencing his own work in Control, Nowhere Boy, Sex & Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll and with Guy Ritchie, Neil isolates the elements of a good soundtrack. In doing so he demonstrates, definitively, how it's much more than making a mixtape.
