So, I'm trying it again (previously I asked for help with making a TV programme and I received some very promising leads....)
Last weekend I shot a short self funded 60 second movie
For a joke budget - sub $1000
I will tell you all about it in due course but it is being premiered at Converge.One
If you check the line up it really will be well worthwhile attending if you have any interest in the DSLR HD revolution (and it seems everyone does these days)
Which leads me to my appeal
I shot a vaguely period piece at a cool location and I'm now seeking help with the score
Here are some screen grabs from the project
So, is there a musical genius out there who is willing and able to do this?
There is no budget.
At all
But I could work a ticket out for my collaborator, along with a credit of course.
Come along with me on my next shoot too if you like?
The short will be premiered on the 11th December at the National Film Theatre, so my friends, time is of the essence
UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! I'M leaving the post up, but I now am receiving help from one of the blog followers! So, no need for anymore help, I do not want to waste anyones time
Thank you

If you want to shoot me an e-mail with any ideas you've got, I think I could work out a 60 second score on short notice. Judging by the screencaps, I'm thinking either piano or small string ensemble sound, with a sort of tango-y dance thing. I'd be able to come up with a more concrete idea upon viewing the video itself. Can deliver an uncompressed .wav or .aiff, or whatever you/your editors prefer.
Besides trying to make it as an advertorial photographer, I work as creative director for a small web video firm, which includes scoring all the original music for our short animated films.

I have a couple of musician friends that I will ping but I strongly recommend http://ccmixter.org and http://freemusicarchive.org both of which have loads of music released under Creative Commons.

Hi Drew,
I'm a professional composer who was alerted by a friend to your plea and found your images interesting.
I would be interested if you find you're still looking.

Do you need any post production sound done? Sound design and foley?
Dear Conrad
Yes please!
It is what I'm scratching around for at the moment.
Sorry for the slow reply, spending the weekend with my little girl
Please email me directly at drew@drew.it
I will be blogging about this whole experience
Thank you
Drew
I have worked as a sound engineer for the last 5 years and Drew Im a little disappointed in you with this blog post. This is no better than people asking graphic designers and photographers to work for free.

No one was paid in this whole project
At all
This was a creative exercise in the art of the possible
It was without corporate constraints and therefore an opportunity for people to exercise their creativity
If this was a paid job I would agree with your sentiment, but it wasn't
I assure you that I'm the first person to challenge anyone who exploits someone for monetary gain
Drew
