Dolby has scored the films "Gothic" and "Fever Pitch" in addition to writing songs for "Howard The Duck." Compared to the other areas he works in, he dislikes film because of the lack of freedom composers usually have.

"You can spend days writing one little theme for a love scene, and then the love scene has to go so it's on the cutting room floor," he explains. "And the studio owns it, so it's kind of tough. When you're working on a game, the team is smaller and the budget is smaller, you tend to be left to your own devices more."

Though he doesn't have anything lined up right now, Dolby is interested in doing more film work in the future. With studios negotiating for the movie rights to such games as "Myst" and "Doom," his experience in the computer field has led to increased interest from film makers.

"It's really hard because it looks good on paper but at the end of the day it's not something you want to be involved in," says Dolby on choosing film projects. "It makes me appreciate how lucky I am with my records, that I can just have this vision and a year later its in the stores on the shelves. I really appreciate that freedom, which in a movie you just never have."

One thing that Dolby does look for in a script is lots of exterior landscape shots, as that's where the music is noticed the most.
