To the Rescue

Abstract
This project discusses the culminating experience process of To the Rescue, a rescore of an action scene from Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War (2018). From sharing inspiration about the project and the early stages of composing and orchestrating, to explaining score and part preparation, I share everything that I experienced in the final days leading up to recording To the Rescue at AIR Studios Lyndhurst in London. I emphasize the importance of balance throughout the orchestra and the use of different orchestral textures in this kind of cue. Furthermore, I share how I navigated unanticipated challenges, elements that I could have approached differently, and feedback throughout the process from my advisors and colleagues. Overall, I reflect honestly upon my experience and discuss what I plan to do in my future steps. I hope that this project can serve as a guide to future SFTV students and help them make the most out of their culminating experiences.
