John Williams & Hans Zimmer - The Story of Modern Film Music
If John Williams represents the romanticism and stability of classical Hollywood in the 20th century, then Hans Zimmer, in turn represents the change and uncertainty of the 21st. Together with Lucas and Spielburg, Williams defined the sound of late-20th century Hollywood, while Zimmer is arguably the most influential composer of our time. In this video, I compare and contrast the music of these two legendary composers. I was planning to make a gaming-related video next, but I had another opportunity to make a video for my film music class. Next video will actually be gaming :) Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/...
