DAVE HUIZENGA: I think what I would probably do is just simply, you know, take, even if it's a television show off the air that you grab, you know, and grab a scene from it, get it into your system somehow. You know, call me, because I can't quite describe. I know how mine is going into the system but if other systems aren't necessarily AV, you know, visually compatible in terms of getting it synced up, you know, we can talk about that. But the idea is just take, you know, even a minute commercial, even though commercials are not my forte, I would suggest taking an action thing, something like a 24 like I mentioned Alias earlier, and you know take a five-minute scene from that, and literally now, what your -- Obviously, if there's music in that scene, you're going to have an issue because you don't have it split out. You're unable to lower the music that's in there. You're just stuck with a mix track, and if you don't have -- if someone that can offer you a video, that's cool. Just pull down that audio and just work with it and do just start.

I think it's all I can say is just literally start, turn it on, and you’re your sync point. If you're not even synced to video -- I can remember how I first started before I had synchronization is to simply find a place in your -- let me go back where there is some video, find a place.

[DAVE HUIZENGA DEMONSTRATING VIDEO SCORING CONCEPT]

Okay. Now I just -- I didn't record that but I basically just started...

[DAVE HUIZENGA PLAYING BACK VIDEO PASSAGE FOR SCORING]

...after "Thank you very much," and at that scene change. And so, if you don't have synchronization, that's okay. Just use your play button on your VCR, whatever you're using, DVD, and when you get to that scene, use that as if you're in sync, you know. Use that as your starting point and start each time, your sequencer, at that moment. You know, even if you don't start playing at that moment, start your sequencer at the exact spot. "Thank you very much," he said. "Thank you very much," boom! And then, wait until your moment comes up...

[DAVE HUIZENGA PLAYING A PASSAGE]

...and begin and start working, you know, and then rewind it, take back , "Thank you very much," you know. When that same scene point, just hit it, and you're going to come back in, you know, even if you're not synced. Did that make sense right?

JOE WALLACE: Yeah. Totally.

DAVE HUIZENGA: Because that's exactly how I used to. I hadn't thought about that but that's exactly how I used to do it before. Now, the drag of course is you can't start somewhere in the middle of the scene, right? Because you won't --- you can't find your sync. But you know, if you don't have synchronization, it's a great way. You know, just literally take a cue from a word that's being said out there,"Thank you very much," click, start your sequencer and go into record any time. It doesn't matter just so you've started your sequencer at that cue, that word cue.

JOE WALLACE: Do you think that works well as sort of a demo for someone who needs those services and you can present that as a beginner and say, "I haven't done anything yet, but here's what I can do."?

DAVE HUIZENGA: Absolutely. I do, and I mean for example, I think even Garageband would be a great way. You could use Garageband and do just that. Believe me, I wish Garageband would sync to video because I sit at home at one in the morning, I don't -- I have -- I used to have Pro Tools at home and it just, using a laptop, and it was overwhelming my laptop. It just couldn't handle it. So, the Garageband, I can sit there, play with the loops on there, and use this same method that I'm speaking of. Just use Garageband. Just start it at a certain point in the video each time, and then begin your process. A little more painstaking because you're not -- you just can't rewind a little and fix a little something, but at least it can get you -- it can satisfy your own curiosity as far as and give you the confidence of, "Hey, I like what I just did," you know, that kind of thing. And so many people just don't get the opportunity to put it to picture, you know, so by whatever means it takes, if you just get your first thoughts to picture and then analyze it, and I think it may inspire you. I know it did for me. The first thing I did for Bill was this thing on the eagle, bald eagle. And it was [HUMMING MELODY FROM A SCORE]. I still remember the melody, you know. That's how big it was to me to have done that. So, if someone kicks it off, they got a nice melody and it works, you know, you see the eagle soar to that melody. Well, [LAUGHING] that’s what sold me, and so I hope that anyone out there can have the opportunity of a little hook, a little thing, and having it really work to the point where yeah that picture wouldn't be the same without it, you know. Think of it that way that you're really going to miss that picture. You're going to miss that mood if you take away that music, you know. It's a good judge to see if it's working.
