"The Work and the Glory" is the latest in a long line of film scores Cardon has been working on in recent months. He recently finished scoring an IMAX film, "Mystic India." The film began as a cultural project for the Hindu Swaminarayan sect, which was building a visitor's center in Delhi, and then it was picked up as an IMAX project. It also involved several trips to India — "a fascinating place," he said

Cardon has scored several National Geographic IMAX films, including stories of Lewis and Clark, Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton and "Forces of Nature," which explores earthquakes, volcanoes and tornadoes. A couple more are in the works, including films on physicist Stephen Hawking and another on Pompeii. "I'm very excited about that one," he said.

There's an epic scope to "The Work and the Glory," but Cardon said, "I feel much more prepared than I used to. I feel cautiously optimistic that I can handle it."

He added that it's a good time to be involved with LDS films. "Exciting things are happening. They just keep getting better."
