Danny Elfman Tone Quotations

In Tim's films, more than most, if you miss the tone, you don't get the film.

You have to nail the right tone because sometimes when you just see his films cold, you're not quite sure. It's the same in - I'm trying to think of other directors with a similar sense - David Lynch's films, Tim's films, some of Cronenberg's stuff.

In Tim's films the tone is the most important thing that the score can do. In any unusual film, finding the tone makes such a big difference.
