I GOT A FORWARD AND A REJECTION FROM THE SAME PIECE! FUNNY!

Post by magiceraser » Mon Mar 16, 2015 6:59 pm

I sent a piece called "Une Seule Chance" for U150120EI You be the judge at www.taxi.com/paulbelair
After I sent the original piece I realized that they called for edit points so I re-sent the piece to cover my tracks to make sure that
I covered what they were looking for. Weeks later, at the same time, I received a rejection and a forward. The one that became a forward was the track that I sent with the "edit point" however they never commented on the edit point, so I find the comment on the track that I didn't get the forward quite comical. Rejected track was less time then the forwarded track and the edit point was perhaps a split second. They asked for pieces 2 to 3 min and my piece was 2:43. At the end of the day, some opportunities are at the mercy of someones particular taste. So, here is a good example to never give up!!!!!!! Keep sending! Hell....send it twice!

Forwarded track
"Nice production and good development from light and lyrical to epic and powerful."

Rejected
"The piece is well crafted, but it takes too long to build up the sort of intensity that was requested for this action-packed pitch."

Interesting... were they two different screeners?

HAHAHAHAHA!! Just goes to show you that subjectivity does enter into these decisions, but when the people making the judgements are ultra-pros in the business, we have to trust that they both made valid decisions. Kinda crazy though. You may want to send Michael an email about this one, as I'm sure he'd be interested in hearing about this.

Like I said though, both screeners are know the business inside and out, and so each made valid calls. But it would still be interesting to dissect the different versions and see what entered into each verdict.

Hey Paul, that's too funny! I'm guessing your tracks were screened by two different people… great story!
BTW - It's a really nice track with an epic finish. Congrats on the forward!
