Q&A with composer Jim Dooley

Jim Dooley is an Emmy award winning composer who has worked on numerous film and tv scores. He worked on many film projects with the famous Hans Zimmer but his first major solo project was doing the entire score for (the sadly short lived but totally awesome tv show) Pushing Daisies. He also scored the music for the brand new animated series Neighbors From Hell which airs Monday nights at 10/9c on TBS. Currently, he's composing the music for the upcoming animated feature film Dorthy of Oz. He's a great composer and I recommend you get better acquainted with him and his work. Luckily for you, Mr. Dooley was kind enough to answer some questions for ATFG about his musical influences and projects.
