Howdy folks!
My name is Paul Cating and I'm a composer and sound engineer (I hope that's alright!) You might be wondering why a composer went looking for filmmaker forums and it's really quite simple. There can be a lot of crossover between what we do when it comes to low budget (and no budget) stuff. I'd like learn more about film (and as it happens I'm equipped with a nice DSLR and do some photography but I also have an eye and an ear for directing). But more than that I want to contribute information on the sound side. I'm sure there are those of you who have had sync issues, or get lot's of noise in your recordings and you're probably wondering what you can do about it. As it happens there are a few simple technical tidbits and tricks that can improve recordings and fix sync issues, so I'd like to make myself an available resource for audio questions!
The other reason to be here is that I'd love an opportunity to work on some great films as a composer. I've built up a studio, and a massive sample library collection but I haven't had a chance to attach it to some really great film (other than a few trailers I re-scored for fun).
My philosophy is pretty simple, as a composer I'm truly a translator and my Rosetta Stone is Music.
If anyone has an interest in checking out some of my work you can check my site.
