When I first heard the premise for Spike Jonze’s “Her,” it brought to mind the 30 minute short film we’d worked on together a few years earlier called “I’m Here,” about a pair of robots who fall in love in an LA of the not too distant future. Here’s a recent article in Slate that recaps all of Spike’s shorts, several of which I had the pleasure to music supervise, and how they lead back to “Her.”
The article includes full length versions of the shorts, but here’s the “I’m Here” trailer , which btw won Best Original Music at the 2010 AICP Awards (it was actually sponsored by — in a remarkably hands off fashion — Absolut Vodka).
