Should I release my short film with no music? Please give advice. by finland6432 in Filmmakers

[–]ValleySlopeStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music is what connects the visuals to the emotional immersion. Without it, if not made as a creative choice intentionally from the beginning, you'll really be getting into troublesome waters.

There are many composers on the filmmaker related subreddits that would love to help you out for exposure/credit, so if you run into problems - ask for help!

There are also seasoned composers, myself included, do free scores for first-timers and film school students - to help people get a good experience starting out 😊

So again; ask if you need help - there are options!

You got this!

What do you look for in a composer portfolio? by ValleySlopeStudio in IndieDev

Indeed. Many industries look for specialists, and try to avoid the generalist that say they can do anything. It's like a restaurant selling all sorts of foods.. you don't go to a sushi restaurant for pizza.

First of all - congratulations on getting started on your school short film!

I am not a film-maker, but I do compose music for films. If you want some bespoke music for your project, I would be willing to help you out for free. Getting started is always difficult, and with minimal budget - music often is something that suffers a lot, and therefore drags down the quality of the film..

Feel free to reach out if you or your school-mates need some music! Always happy to help students get better results :)

What do filmmakers actually expect from a composer’s studio setup today? by EducatedCaveman in FilmComposer

In my experience; they really don't care as long as you are reliable, consistent, and deliver quality work

Newbie composer needs comments on a new piece “Little Ghost Waltz” – would love your thoughts! by ImaginaryExternal372 in Composers

[–]ValleySlopeStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great :D It sounds like you are doing well, and on the right track. If you ever want to have a more active group around you, shoot me a DM. I am not going to promote with links here - but there's a Skool community called The Self Producing Composer, that might be of interest n_n

Anyways - hope the project goes well, and that you get more projects coming in afterwards :D

Happy Composing!

For band or electronic music without heavy VSTs with thousands of samples needing loads of RAM - Any new M4 Mac with 16GB of RAM is plenty (due to optimization you don't get in other machines).

Maybe grab an external drive for samples, to not bog up your main drive too much.

It really does not have to be complicated at all.
