I am a musician looking to start composing original film Scores. Anyone in the San Diego area?

Im in the OC, and composers are desperately needed up north here at a lot of the universities, Chapman and OCHSA included (www.ocsarts.net) as well...

Im just wondering for later reference..

Hey Spenser. I'm in Dana Point, not too far from Chapman. If you're interested in talking music, let me know. I'm backed up a few projects now, but I'm always interested in talking to new directors.

Before I forget, I wanted to say something to PianoMan. What with the internet and all, it's really not necessary to live near the director you're working with. IN the last year I've worked on 3 films and 1 tv pilot and I've only met one of the directors face to face. They send me a quicktime of the movie and I upload the music files to my server. They listen to them, email me (or call if it's complex) any changes they need, and I redo the music. It works really well. Obviously, it's ideal if you can discuss the film face to face, but that isn't always feasible. So, just because you're banished to San Diego doesn't mean that you can't work with people from...well, anywhere.

Thats true, isn't modern technolog great? Although I find it much more efficient face to face.

I have a question for delarocker. Do you take on multiple projects at once, or do you only do one at a time?

PianoMan - I don't actually compose for more than one project at a time (unless there's some sort of break in post production or something), but I do work on other projects while I'm composing for one. For instance, right now I'm finishing up a pilot for Comedy Central. I'm also hiring musicians and such for the next short film I'm doing, even though I won't begin writing the music until mid January (I wrote a demo which got me the job, which is how I know the basic instrumentation and am able to hire the appropriate musicians). I'm also currently in talks with another director about scoring his film when I'm done with my next project. I'm working two projects ahead. I'm always working on lining up more business, even while I'm currently working on a project. So I often take a break from a project to write a demo for a director to get a future project. Can't do that too often, but it happens occasionally.

I hope that answers your question. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
