new to scoring

Post by Doctor »

Hi All,

I've been in the music business some 42 years, most of it on the road. I then settled down and worked with some local groups. I also got involved doing some studio work, including some simple music scores and sound effects for amature video.

I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction to either find some sound and copyrite free footage with/without dialogue or to a newsgroup or forum of amature video/film directors or producers looking for free scoring so that I could hoen my skills and possibly help them at the same time, a win win.

Any and all suggestions would be more than welcome.

Thanks for reading,

Doc

What's up, Doc?!!

Hey-- one thing that might be worth looking into is the world of student films. There may be some mutual benefits with offering a good film student a score in exchange for an opportunity to sharpen your talons.

This link might spawn some additional ideas even if direct participation is not the most ideal solution for you.
