Comedy Trailer (TV show) Deal
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 7:49 am
I got a contract via email the other day (actually the same day as Adonis! - so I'm guessing it's the same publisher!). The song the publisher signed is on my TAXI page, titled, "Comedy Cue 2."
I listened carefully to the 'alas' after I read the listing. I took this opportunity to mean they were looking for something more like an uptempo instrumental theme song, so that's what I gave them.
The placement is yet TBD.
Any, all comments welcome!

PLAYFUL and LIGHTHEARTED COMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES in the vein of show like “Modern Family” and “Parks and Recreation” etc., needed quickly by a BIG New York based Music Publisher/Library pitching to trailers of a variety of popular TV comedy shows. They’ve placed music in shows on HBO, ABC, NBC, FX, the Sundance Film Channel, the Discovery Channel, as well as in films produced by Focus Features, Red House Pictures, among many, many others! Note: Comedy does NOT mean anything quirky or bizarre! Referencing the trailers of the two shows mentioned will give you a solid understanding of the overall opportunity. Quoted from the source: “90 seconds would be choice, and if they can supply the shorter versions that would be ideal, but not required.” Broadcast quality needed [excellent home recordings are OK]. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than 10:00 AM (PDT) on Monday, May 16, 2011. TAXI# D110516CI
