Good morning!

Michael Mann is an example of a director who is more concerned with the artistic development of a film, vs loyalty with just one composer: http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2015/02/09/michael_mann_how_do_director...

Filmmakers and media producers! Come study the art, craft, and business of music for film and other media in a one-week daytime seminar with 2 time Emmy Award winning composer/arranger Hummie Mann. You will be attending the first week of a 2 week program for film composers, but this segment of the program was designed for non-composers and composers alike as it covers many of the creative, aesthetic and legal aspects of film composition without discussing notes on paper and compositional techniques - which the second week does cover. This Aug. 21 - 25, (M-F), 10am - 3pm course (with lunch break) offers an overview of the process of writing dramatic music for motion pictures, television and video. An Overview of Film Scoring Topics include: • An overview of the process of film scoring from the composer’s perspective. • Discussion of the roles of the members of the “music team” including: music editor, music supervisor, contractor, copyist, orchestrator, and booth supervisor. • Introduction to composing dramatic underscore - the creative process, introduction to “writing to timings” • A step by step approach to creating a cohesive/effective score: from spotting, choosing a musical vocabulary, creating themes, scoring the individual cues through to the completed project • Interacting between the composer and the director and producer • Music/film synchronization techniques • Synthesizer vs. acoustic scoring - why it matters • Budgeting both time and money for original music and scoring sessions • An overview of composer contracts, royalties and performing rights, and how they pertain to filmmaking Multiple video and audio examples will be used to demonstrate the concepts discussed in this course. This class is designed to give students and professionals a better understanding of the composer's role in the filmmaking process. The $500 fee includes a week of classes, numerous handouts, and an unparalleled networking and learning experience – all at a perfect venue for this experience, the Watkins College Film School.

thanks for the add Scott -! Much appreciated.

Hey folks! Writing to you from Nashville, and happy to be a member of this online professional community. I've been fortunate to do music/audio work with clients as diverse as History Channel, USAToday, Scholastic Video, Magnetic Dreams, NBC (regional affiliates), Reynolds American (w/PK Pictures), Exxon/Mobil, and The Documentary Channel, in addition to a few dozen shorts and two documentaries. Also, I've been producing VOs and editing dialog/ADR & sound effects for over a decade now. I'm fully equipped for any aspect of audio/music, and my team rocks. Please see my profile for more details - and I look forward to working with you!

In trying to get the idea of my rock opera in front of would-be producers I have been told on several occasions "..am interested, but you need to go via an agent." Any advice / experience on how to find the right one?
