dialog recording, camera equipment and Foley never seem to suffer from budget.
I know that budget is always the fall back excuse for not seeking help there, but the dialog recording, camera equipment and Foley never seem to suffer from budget.
My weakness is attempting to elevate not so great films with the music I compose for them. i can't find much work doing this,

That Film Riot video is brilliant!
"or make it in Garageband"
If you haven't been making music for a least a few years and on a daily basis for those few years, don't think you can just "make your own" and get away with it. You can't. Hahaha
His comment saying "you can easily make your own music" is complete BS.
I think you're being a bit harsh there, APE, there are some films I watch over and over because of how much I love the soundtrack, not because I particularly enjoy the story.
I also think a soundtrack has the ability to make a film memorable, even if it's an average film. Of course it also has the ability to make a film awful if it's too much, over the top (I hated Batman's music, especially in the 2nd film, for that reason. I'm a minority in that particular case) or just plain bad. A film that uses music well will imprint on you in a way another film will not, that's just what music does.
What the point here is that you said one thing about music and now you're saying another - first you said music cannot elevate a film much beyond its original state and now you're saying it can.
