The writer and actor's feature screenwriting debut Sense and Sensibility (1995) remains one of the definitive Jane Austen screen adaptations. In 2001 she wrote the Golden Globe-nominated Wit for director Mike Nicholls, and in 2005 penned the family hit Nanny McPhee. She returned in 2010 with the sequel Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang.

In the second lecture of the 2014 series, Thompson described how her writing routine involves yoga and Hoovering, reflected upon her early acting experiences at Cambridge Footlights, and explained why 'if you can't fail, you can't do this job'. Chaired by screenwriter Jeremy Brock.

Recorded at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly on 20 September 2014.

Emma Thompson | BAFTA Screenwriters’ Lecture Series

I was pleased to reprise my role as creator of the music for the second season of MAMMUT, the norwegian web-based crime-tale that can be watched here: https://www.glomdalen.no/mammut2---se-alle-episodene

The music included in this track, as well as a few more minutes included only in the actual web series, was made in approx. 5-6 days. I used samples from two free libraries, as well as some stuff included with Logic Pro 9, which was the software I used. Feel free to ask questions you might have.

Third party sample libraries used:
- VSCO 2: Community Edition - Versillian Studios / Sam Gossner / Ivy Audio / Simon Dalzell - http://vis.versilstudios.net/vsco-community.html
- Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra - Mattias Westlund - sso.mattiaswestlund.net
