Talented Storytellers I’ve had the pleasure of working with:
Todd Langille - Editor / Director
‘The Search for F.E.Garber’
“Having met and worked with Bill on a previous project, his music illustrations were very much inline with the mood and feeling I have imagined for many years. Bill’s work is first class and it is exciting to hear custom music emerge to support my story.
The Discovery Report was very thorough and it can now almost be used as a basis for a very creative and detailed synopsis of my project as I potentially seek completion funding. Bill’s method has inspired me to really get cutting with some fresh direction and inspiration. I would think this would apply to any project that engages this valuable process.
His Discovery Method feels like a real breakthrough in process and I hope to see it do great things for Bill”
Scott Townend - Director / Editor
‘The Secret Marathon’
“Working with William Baird has been one of the best parts of making the film, ‘The Secret Marathon’ for me.
His thoughtful and caring nature made working together a pleasure. Time and time again he went above and beyond finding the tone and meaning behind every moment in the film and his ability to turn that feeling into a piece of music that not only fits, but enhanced everything we set out to achieve, has been incredible.
Bill’s ability to blend our vision with his unique and incredible talent, enhanced the film and all the emotions within it, in ways I couldn’t have imagined before we started. It has been an absolute pleasure working together, and I look forward to working with Bill again on many projects to come.”
John McDonald - Director / Producer
‘Mule - Living on the Outside’
“William Baird composed the music for my short documentary. It was a wonderful score -- emotional and evocative. I don't think I'm the only director who has difficulty describing what I want the music to sound like, but William really knows how to ask the right questions and, most importantly, listen to my ramblings. I look forward to working with him again!”
Peter Beyak - Producer
‘Global Warning’
“We recently engaged William Baird to compose the score on our feature length documentary “Global Warning”.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the creative direction William took. Plus, his technical delivery was flawless and he did all of this within an extremely challenging time frame. William’s score keeps the ebbs and flows of “Global Warning” flowing perfectly. From the factual narrative sequences to the intimate personal interviews, overall the score feels like a perfect fit for the film. William’s touch hits all the right notes.
We are extremely pleased to have worked with William on “Global Warning” and I look forward to working with him again.”
Sharone Ostrovsky - Executive Producer
‘Hellfire Heroes’
“It is my pleasure to recommend William Baird to anyone who is looking for high level, super edgy composition for series, drama or documentary work.
William created a wide range of tracks that varied from an opening, a title sequence, action, dramatic and funny cues to entire sequences and closing credits. William is so great to work with and extremely flexible. We had to translate emotional, fast pace and sometimes dangerous situations into music cues that accommodated but didn’t overwhelm the story or the visual.
William was happy to make changes and accommodate these needs. He came up with great and exciting solutions that made it clear we are working with a true professional. I feel that his work complimented the series and added a depth that can’t be done with a music library.”
“Working with William Baird on the score for the feature documentary ‘Living Proof’ was an incredible experience from beginning to end. William took the time to harmonize our creative approach prior to his composing and sent examples early in his process to ensure that he was on the right path. Further, William was forced to work under a tight deadline and he masterfully delivered!
From composing, to spotting sessions, to reviewing the documentary in theatre, William's dedication to excellence is unmatched in my experience as a filmmaker.”
