My first submission got processed today and rejected as stylistically off target.
I 100% agree. I was very eager the day I signed up and submitted "The Light" for this one:
Music Supervisor needs an INDIE ROCK (Surf/Skater Punk-ish) SONG a la "Forever" by Titus Andronicus for a FEATURE FILM Placement. Quoting the Supervisor: "Please urge members to view this video before submitting their music. This band and song reflects precisely the style/vibe that we're looking for. MALE vocals strongly preferred, unless there is a female band that has ALL these attributes." Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDNMYwK69jM **ABSOLUTELY NO THIRD-PARTY SAMPLES OF OTHER ARTIST'S VOCALS OR MUSIC. ** Go for the overall sound and raucous attitude, don't forget, DO NOT rip-off or copy the Titus Andronicus song in any way, shape or form. Use it ONLY as a guide for texture, tone, and general style, etc. Tempo and attitude will count for a LOT on this pitch! Having anti-social, teenaged angst-themed lyrics could give you and edge on this pitch. The sync fee is negotiable. Broadcast Quality and Top-Notch Vocal Performance are needed for this pitch (excellent home recordings are fine). You must own or control 100% of the Publishing and Master rights. This is DIRECT to the Music Supervisor, so you will KEEP 100% of the income--NO Publisher Splits! Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include LYRICS. ALL SUBMISSIONS will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS by the Music Supervisor HERSELF, so NO FULL CRITIQUES on this listing. THE SUPERVISOR WILL CONTACT YOU DIRECTLY IF SHE IS INTERESTED. Submissions must be received no later than WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 2011 at 10:00AM (PDT). TAXI # Y110921IR
I guess all I read was Indie Rock LOL.
Had a I read a bit further... "Surf/Skater Punk-ish" I may have thought twice.
Amazing what I have already learned in the few weeks I've been here.
Thank you Taxi and thank you to the other Passengers that have given me support and advice already
