your first (or tenth) licensing deal probably will not be the next Hollywood bomb, but this is OK. A number of others known and very large independent films that need and want music. No, you will not be rich and famous immediately from the presence of indie song in the movie, but you probably will be paid, and get some good exposure. Remember good Ling music career is not based on one big hit. They are built on a series of small projects and success in building the bigger ones, and, of course, multiple streams of income.
with that in mind, and independent films are a great place to start. Where you begin? Well, in return for the inclusion of other sites, such as the media, film and music network, and taxis are a good place to start, but it is difficult to count on steady income from people I never met. Also, what I learned from the recent two supervisors music, is to follow the packaging is not required, nor particularly appreciated. Even you really rely on packaging and music of your being acquired out of the oven. However, the list of services will give you access to the projects you may not know otherwise. It is, therefore, a good investment.
an even the best way to Hawk to independent films is to go out and meet the people& 39;s film. As musicians, we tend to get a little man in our world. Hanging out with musicians, and going to workshops and music events, and you should your product to people who need it, instead of waiting for them to come to you.
a great place to start is the indie club. This is an independent international organization for the film industry, and actors and the crew, and by any other person. Find your local chapter indieclub.com through the Web site. It& 39;s free to join. Where am I, San Francisco, and we have the largest chapter in the country. Joined the list of discussion and presentation of yourself as a music artist. Go to the meetings and get - togethers. When I went to my first meeting indie club, and I was one of the two artists in the music room. Cries " We need you! & Quot; is not just the voices in my head (this time). The room full of independent filmmakers were looking for good music can still license and stay within budget.
i scored my first licensing deal within hours. Two songs in the same movie, and one you already written, and another to be written specifically for the film. My tactic was simple. Ask them on the latest project. They will be happy to tell you about, I assure you. They will ask what to do. We say to them, but do not exaggerate. I explained that I had not written for the movies, but only came to see where I fit in this particular director and then explained to me that he can not find a particular song for this scene, and one was working. I told him I am happy to know that writing for him. There was. I was being paid in advance for the writing of the song. How? I received 100 dollars for a new song, $ 50 previously written and recorded one. As I said, you will not get rich from this. But wait, $ 50 for the use faire song that you paid for a long time ago is free money to me.
for new song, Director arranged for the registration time at the School of Arts local recording sound editor town where he was studying. This was a coincidence, not necessarily normal. Most other projects, I must register myself. I kept the copyright of a song (which you should always try to do), I was able to release a new song on one of my CDs, which put more money in my pocket. That there are multiple streams of income again. And, as a high hat, and I was able to perform the Prime Minister, on the sale of CDs and more as well. Got all that just to offer up to a meeting and talk to people. I made several other deals in this meeting as well.
so moral of the story is go to where it is the film industry, and talked with them. Besides indie club, and I am sure that there cinema clubs and other organizations in your area. Find them and make yourself a part of them. Learn all, and you have tunes in the movies at any time!
