Welcome! There are plenty of friendly faces here. :hi: Very true, but it's quite interesting even so to look at who's online now and see the number of robots checking out the forum! 👀

Not yet but still up for it guys! 😊

As a Brit, I can honestly tell you that no matter which side of the debate you're on, everyone's just sick of it. And the irony of having the deadline on Halloween is completely hysterical. 🤪

Oooh controversial 😆

Sounds cool - good luck with your series!! If the trailer's anything to go by, you'll have a lot of fun doing it. 👍

Wow I love this! There is something reminiscent of Guy Ritchie about the action! And very good for a cell phone too. You mentioned 'a concept in making' - what direction are you going to take this?

Thank you all for your extremely helpful responses. I wrote down carefully the ups and downs of the project as you suggested and decided that it just wasn't right for me, even if I used a pen name (that's really cool about Alan Smithee btw, hadn't come across that!). So here's what I did: I...

Hi All I've been in talks with a client to write the soundtrack for their next film. I'm in a dilemma as to whether to get involved and am looking for advice. Although I’m a composer, this isn't just a music-related question; it's relevant to anyone signing on to a project. The feature itself...

Hi everyone I'm David Simkins, a composer looking to take on new projects in film, television, video games or other media. As an MA Music and Innovation student at the University of Bristol, my experience has been wide and varied and I would love to collaborate with you on your next production...

Ah, I see. I thought some of my big baddie themes weren't coming through properly! I knew there was something! Thanks for all this everyone. 👍

I think it's been a while since I had a problem anyway. Thank you for all your reassurances! Much appreciated. 🙂

Thank you so much. With the 24-bit/48kHz settings on a WAV, I now notice that my 3 minute cue now takes up 51.6 MB!! Is that horrendous? Or I guess file size is a small price to pay for good quality. I also seem to remember that Apple Macs get a bit stroppy with WAV files. Is there something I...

Hi everyone I just have a question about the preferred sound quality for soundtrack music. I haven't really paid that much attention to this before, but I notice that I can produce files with a bit rate of anything between 80 and 320 kbps and sample rate of either 44.1 or 48 kHz. As far as I...

Welcome 🙂 Wow! That's cool - a long way and a lot of videos!! How far is the current record that you have to beat?

Wow - best of luck! 👍 👍

Quite a poignant piece - it quite powerfully leaves you discontent at the end with many answered questions. Having watched some of your other videos, it's great to see some of the same actors in vastly different roles. You and your team seem to be quite talented!

Hiya Gary. Cool videos. Don't worry too much about the art; I guess that will come with time and practice. As long as the story keeps the audience's attention, you're on your way to making good videos. Admittedly I couldn't always follow exactly what was going on. Everyone has different reading...

Hey, this trailer is very good! From my point of view, the music is really effective and certainly sets the scene and the tone of the piece. The volume of it is good to start with, but 0:37 - 0:39ish I do agree I can't quite hear what's going on. However, possibly what you could try is just...

This is an old thread, but I’ve been doing a bit of research on this the last couple days, so thought I’d share a couple of things I’ve found out with you all (just in case anyone out there is looking into this kind of thing now). When you want to use a song in your film/video (even if it’s...
