[silvercord]

Hi all...Many of us here would no doubt love to have our music featuredin movies. I know that so many of you are so talented to createmoods to fit into any kind of movie. But here's my 'lil questionjust to pick your brains and get to know you a bit more:What genre of movie would you like most for your music creationsto be featured in?hope to read from all of you!peacegeoff

I write in so many different styles of music, it's hard to define what movie genre would be a good "fit" for me.I like nearly all kinds of movies - and I can pick out fantastic, memorable music from every genre I can think of. There's no one type of movie I'd like to write for more than any other.So I guess the answer would be: a musical! Start to finish, all my own songs. It would be a rock musical with soul leanings, and a love story, of course.Kathleen

Good question, Geoff!!And I guess my answer would be......any movie that pays! No really, if I could choose (shyeah, ask matto and Dave and mazz if they could choose......choose vacation times, maybe! HAHAHAHAH), anyway, if I could choose, I'd like to have mine in something like one of those amazing british films, big panorama thing.Or anything that pays. I've really lowered my expectations. Heh.

What genre of movie would you like most for your music creations to be featured in?The real answer is anything that pays But since you ask... fantasy a la Lord of the Rings, Pan's Labryinth, stuff like that. Please could I have a song in The Hobbit? Please? That would be one of the great thrills of my life.

Hey Geoff Well I imagined YOUR music in something like the film "City Of Angels" - Nicholas Cage/Meg Ryan As for my music lol it's too early to say. Probably some kind of comedy romance nothing too serious. Or maybe something like "The Craft" a lil girl power, a little mystery, a lil magic, a big beat - not saying my music is any of those but I'd like it to be one day Cool question, Lindsey

honestly, anything close to the boondock saints and im goodsome guns, some heists, maybe an explosion, boobies are always welcome though not necessary, haha

yeah, well for me its more of an enhancement thing than a style thing, like I get my fix by seeing the underlying emotions and pulling them out, making them bigger, not strictly making them.

[silvercord]

Yes..i agree...any paying movie would be most excellent..lol i see Milfus!..Vikky...oh goodness how i would love for my music to be in an epic fantasy..that would indeed be a good dream to be true.Lindsey..as i really dig the song writing of the Goo Goo Dolls..it would be majorly cool to be on the same soundtrack as them!Kathleen, have you started writing your musicial;)?

My former songwriting partner and I got about halfway through a screenplay based on the Greek myth of Perseus (the "Clash of the Titans" dude) but transposed to a sci-fi setting. Then she met a guy over the Internet and moved away. We keep saying we're going to get back into collaborating, but somehow it never happens ... The songs were great, though. I don't want to revamp them for other projects because there's a chance we might revive this one someday. Maybe when I get home today I'll post one on my TAXI hosting site just so you guys can have a listen.My other idea is to jump on the bandwagon of remaking existing books, plays and movies into stage musicals (like "Spamalot," "Young Frankenstein," "Wicked," etc.) and doing a Broadway version of ...... are you ready for this? "Better Off Dead." The best 80's teen movie ever. The big gimmick would be a bike ballet during the number "I Want My Two Dollars," performed by 20 kids on dirt bikes speeding down the aisles and doing choreographed stunts on stage. I'm really serious about this! I've even starting researching who holds the copyright to the movie so I can put together a prospectus with a synopsis, sample scene and song to ask for permission to make a derivative work.Anybody interested in collaborating .... ?Kathleen
