Devin, you use iTunes as a source to gather music for your project? I am assuming as a reference, correct?

Nick, what other places do you use? For a lot of my projects I use shockwave-sound.com. There are a couple of composers that are great at providing options on each track. ie.. 30 sec, 60 sec, full and underscore versions. It is great, so I can take those tracks, tweak and edit them to fit my project.

@jeff are the tracks royalty free? .O.

Refer back to what's in writing, if there were any sort of agreements drafted and signed. If there weren't any, then let this be a lesson to do that going forward regardless if there's money involved. I've personally made this mistake before and learned from it, so at the very least, I can sympathize with your situation.

If it were me I'd tell him to do whatever he wants, as it was a dress rehearsal, and you will regroup and re-shoot with the new director now that you have seen what it can really become. Now specifically- are there contracts and money involved ? Is the director just the director who got a producer credit for grins, did he put in $, bring in-kind equity... ? Does he own the script rights ? Not enough info. But on an ethical level, he burned some bridges that he is yet unaware of... everyone will remember and you never know where anyone is headed.

how did this resolve?
