    sound compose music

    I don't agree that he isn't very creative or original. Regardless, he writes great music and that's all that should matter. Not every wondrous, complex, and beautiful piece of music involves having previous knowledge of vast or minor theory nor does it require "buying into." Really? So, the...

    sound compose music

    Yes. I 100% agree, though, I'd add an exception to the midi thing. It's only necessary if you're more comfortable writing with a keyboard or other physical devices/or synthesizers, which I'm not. I personally prefer to "point-n-click" my notes into place using the software alone. I like to...

    sound compose music

    Excellent for you, man! Good work! Once I get one more project done, I will actively pursue a more professional career in scoring. I wish you the best. You're absolutely right. It's certainly not easy. Like I said, I've been using FLStudio for 15 years and not until just a couple of years ago...

    sound How do you select music or sounds for your film?

    AudioPostExpert, I don't disagree with your points, in fact, I'm 100% with you. I think, however, I've corresponded too simply. My perspective is a little skewed, I'll admit, because I score all my own stuff and do sound design, all of which I juggle throughout post-production. That's probably...

    sound compose music

    Please please please do not be intimidated by not knowing keys, notes, or any of the technical/traditional form of music composition and be shamed into thinking you can't write beautiful music without that knowledge. I personally use FLStudio and have been writing music for more than 15 years...

    sound How do you select music or sounds for your film?

    I was going to respond to AudioPostExpert in essentially the same way. Thank you. What I originally meant was not to literally copy or paraphrase the music, I'm sorry if it came across that way. Just experiment. Drag in and drop out music you like until you're satisfied with the tone, then hand...

    Very positive review/interview with me at Grizzly Bomb! I'll be working on an accolades trailer soon in order to gear people up for our premier.

    sound How do you select music or sounds for your film?

    I would have to imagine sound design and music would be a daunting task for film makers who aren't already skilled in those areas. I can't even start cutting a film without music to set the mood and guide the tone. Since by the time you are cutting, most film makers won't already have original...

    Thieves: Trailers, Stills, Interviews, Posters etc.

    Press screenings went incredibly well. More very positive reviews on their way from the journalists who attended. In the mean time, we've gotten a few new reviews that rolled in. Wow! Very flattering review from Fanbolt.com! Another very positive review. This time from Wes Cain over at...

    Thieves: Trailers, Stills, Interviews, Posters etc.

    I have been immensely busy with press screenings and promoting Thieves like it's my job. Thieves has been accepted into the Mitten Movie Project which is a very big deal for amateur film makers from my area as a very large number of films are regularly rejected. This is a particularly exciting...

    Thieves: Trailers, Stills, Interviews, Posters etc.

    No, you're not experiencing deja vu. Originally this was posted in "Narrative" and I realized later that that was an inappropriate spot for it. I asked Knightly to relocate the thread. He agreed that it was placed incorrectly prior and would fix it. Thanks, Knightly!

    Thieves: Trailers, Stills, Interviews, Posters etc.

    Been working my little behind off on finishing Thieves, so I kinda was in the dark for a while there. All that remains is some ADR and a couple more pieces for the score and it's finally complete! In the meantime, check out our "Rectify or Liberate" thirty second teaser! Now in the OP.

    I get down on myself quite frequently. I wonder, what's the point of trying so hard if I'm more than likely not gonna get anywhere with this "silly film thing." I'm gonna remind you and myself that it's not all for naught. You have already positively affected myself -- and as it seems plenty of...
