Placement on The Bachelor - Winter Games
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2018 12:06 pm
Hi there-
I have a success to report. My instrumental track “Adventure Ahead” was used for last night’s premiere episode of “The Bachelor - Winter Games” on ABC. (You can hear it on my Taxi page.)
I have a few takeaways that may or may not help you.
1) While this publisher contact was one that I made on my own, Taxi helped me get my musical house in order. I used the Taxi deadlines, feedback and forum to work on epic hybrid pieces like this.
2) This was the fastest turnaround I’ve experienced. I signed the song on 11/21/18 and it aired 2/13/18. I’m sure there are examples of faster stories out there, but that’s mine. Most of my songs have been placed after being signed for at least 9 months.
3) If it’s appropriate, use clear edit points. The editors on the show used the first :15 seconds of my track, then the last :30 or so.
4) Pay close attention to your ending. The editors used mine to dramatic effect.
Woo hoo! Thanks Taxi!
Jerome
