Nigel Paterson John Williams - composer - at 90 (13) RE: John Williams - composer - at 90 08 Feb 22


"Unlike some soundtrack composers he... (John Williams) writes and conducts his score to the millisecond of what appears on the screen".
Most composers, including John Williams, have, since around 1975, had the benefit of SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers) timecode. The code is represented thus: 00:00:00:00...hours, minutes, seconds & frames. Synchronising music to picture is, today, a familiar process to both composer & director alike, thanks to SMPTE.
