Currently, I'm working diligently to get a few
placements in preparation for this next year.
It seems like I'm chasing my tail sometimes, but I just can't stop doing
what I'm so passionate about. Writing songs for a movie soundtrack has
always been a dream of mine. The only
thing that was stopping me was not knowing anyone who was doing it or knew
about it themselves. Keeping that in mind, I read an article that was very informative about how to submit songs for a movie soundtrack. Some of the suggestions include networking to get close to music supervisors and giving them some copy written music that could be potentially placed on a soundtrack.
One of the things I always try to do when I can
is network. When this opportunity fell in my lap that’s exactly how it happen.
I was speaking with a colleague about doing some work together and they
called me later that week to submit some music for the soundtrack. Now, of course in this business I realize
that there are no guarantees, but I'm truly taking full of advantage of this
opportunity.
The first thing I did was read the plot and
timeline of the whole project. This information came on onesheet and had everything I needed to know like the plot, the characters, the book
this movie would be based on and the projected timeline of when the music
project should be started and the dates for the projected release for the movie
and soundtrack. This is a link for an
example of a one sheet. http://onesheet.com.
This is the most excited part where I get a
chance to seek out the producers I want to work with and create some music
that’s inspiring. I'll let you know
later how things work out, but no matter the outcome, its one of my favorite experiences
during this journey.
