a combination of stumbling into it and connections; bro in law is a grandchild of a former screenwriter from LA/NYC

i got onto a short film shoot through him without knowing anything; i was made a "spark" which is basically the guy that sets up lights on set

learned a ton of shit and put in a stupid amount of effort for that shoot and the producers liked me enough to invite me to the screening and keep providing more work; funnily that job i have to decline is for those very same producers
>some guy from sherlock in it

kinda annoying that i have to turn it down since it would've been fun, but i can't work at a fucking loss, this country is fucked, the train alone would cost £40 a day, driving would be more, hotels are suddenly 200 - 400 a night

often enough productions will cover cost of travel and shit but up to a certain point, we've definitely broken the cost limit with recent fuel costs and hotel prices; there's a good chance the production company would cover SOME of the money spent but i'd still most likely come out barely even

yeah man, it's so fucked. It makes me mad that the people who are in positions of power are the least effected by it and look at you weird for being stressed out about this shit and not acting in pocket. Food went up like 60-100% where I live. I hope it works out with and you get to somehow make more films. I'm such a huge fan of movies.

One more question if you dont mind asking: I'd love to do some scoring for a movie or doc but I cannot into classical composing yet ( with classical arrangements etc.) but would be more interested in experimental stuff anyway. How would I go about contacting people without any connections? Just send some of my work to local tv stations? I have a day job and am doing my best to learn music theory to also be able to do classical shit too. I'm fantasizing about living off of creative work like you but for most people it's a pipe dream I'm realizing. Anxiety and stress is also a creativity killer so I'm wondering how you do it.

>>49490769
but we saved grandma
it was worth it

>>49491364
if you have no connections then it'll be extremely difficult and a very long process to try to make it, but if you truly enjoy creating things then that'll be a major strength in every other aspect of turning it into a profitable venture

while i don't have any experience on the music side of things, i can say that the best course of action would be to create anything and everything you possibly can and just release it on youtube AND ESPECIALLY vimeo (all the real talent and the money is on vimeo, youtube just helps for pleb traction)

learn to make music, maybe even get a camera to compose videos that could fit alongside the music and upload it everywhere; in terms of something like youtube: use your real name in the channel, upload the compositions as "copyright free" in the title and just manipulate SEO to ensure viewership chances

this will approach not just hobbyists but professionals looking for music on a tight budget, getting eyes on your work will be very important as it means credits when your work is used, you can create a website etc etc but make sure you say the music is copyright free providing you're given a credit

also ensure there's contact details on all your social medias that you create to again increase chances of people not just finding you, but being able to contact you for any reason that could be either shitty free work or actually paid

i can say for sure that even for the stuff i create for fun, finding music is insanely difficult because it's either expensive or requires a sub service to some trash like pond5; which brings me to another point: you can list your work on sites like pond5 where you'll get paid when it's used, the filmmakers with a little more cash do use things like epidemicsound or pond5, even netflix shows and docs rely on pond5 for sound effects and music

main thing though: keep creating things and keep finding ways to market it across everything you can, the first step is getting your name and work seen

>>49491547
>>49491364
also accept that making money from music in film will be difficult as fuck even if you "make it", so try to find ways to branch out to gain as much money as you can from it elsewhere, even if it means uploading to spotify or uploading to bandcamp and selling; ads on youtube if you get that far, etc etc

when i mean exhaust all options, really exhaust all options

>>49491507
Until she took the jab

Because of inflation I have to live with 3 roommates. I live in bumfuck Midwest not some high cost of living place. Granted I work a really shit job, for those of us at the bottom working some manual labor or retail it’s impossible to live without 3-4 roommates.

>>49491547
>>49491569

Thank you, man. Super helpful.
> copyright free providing you're given a credit

What does this mean exactly? Are you saying you're relinquishing any monetary gains you would get from your music being used just to build a following and get your name out there? I haven't looked much into the business side of things because there are lots of different laws for each country.

>>49491726
precisely that, the first step is building a portfolio, that will be useful for if you ever do want to send some production companies, radio stations, or others your work in chances of being hired, if you reach a point where you can build an audience and a folio, you can find ways to monetise it

your youtube channel for example can just be lots of different styles of music, ones around different emotions: fear, happiness, ambience, etc, anything someone would need for a production, and then if that gains traction you can monetise with ads, maybe create profesional packs for sounds/music which are paid with some free demo ones, etc etc

basically try literally everything

Ok I see what you mean. Thanks for the reply.
I wish you the best, man. Honestly I do not envy britbongs right now. The last time I visited my sisters in London about 10 years ago it already felt like America in that it was just as stressful minus the actual interesting cultural landscape surrounding it. Us and UK are always at the spear head of new neoliberal hellscapes.

Godspeed, fren. WAGMI somehow

>>49491598
I thought this was already the norm in the US. I visited Cali in 2019 and from what I heard from friends of friends it was normal to live with room mates in your 20s. No one who doesnt come from money can afford their own place, let alone a house.

Most shorts pay bugger all. 300/day is very unusual. You supplying a load of kit that's included in that or something?

>>49491983
>Most
i don't work for students or fun films-from-home indie types, these shorts i work on have 40k~ budgets typically with crews of near 30, which is actually about right in terms of true film industry budgets for shorts of about 15 minutes in length

music videos are about the same, either budget is shit or it's stupidly high, i've done a few for friends on shoestring budgets and fucking hated it, here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qz4cAAwtv0

30~ people, shot in one day with a microscopic budget, still got paid a few hundred for it

Why is there such a massive disconnect between posts like OP and the real world

>HomeDepot and Lowes are completely full every single day
>Every local grocery store is packed all day long
>Walmart is completely full every single day
>Chain restaurants are busier than precovid and are only bottlenecked by lack of wagies
>Plumbers, electricians, and home renovators are book well into next year
>Rolex watches, Hondas, Teslas, and other major luxury brand have massive waiting lists that keep growing
>More iphone sales than precovid
>Video game sales are breaking records
>Mall is packed every single day
>Even shit stores like Macys and Sears are seeing sales increases
>More and more new restaurants and shitty hipster coffee bars opening every month

Even though there's a supply shortage, there's no spending shortage. I simply don't believe that everyone is living paycheck to paycheck. There's more money being thrown around than ever before. This obviously isn't all poorfags using just credit

>>49492253
>>Walmart is completely full every single day

walmart said their inventory is up 60%
Target too

so thats what this post is abouit. people stopped buying shit cus they are broke

>>49492253
>i'm the center of the universe and people who I don't see in my immediate vicinity do not exist!

Have you ever wondered why there was such a hysterical outcry from libs about these "whacky conspiracy" theories originating during covid lockdowns?
Cause deep down they were scared that these schizos were right and it was all a scam to consolidate power and money further. ( Pro tip: it was)

I'm noticing even more and more pretty well off upper middle class people getting uneasy around certain topics and fleeing into more mindless consumption that serves only as a bandaid for this bubbling, underlying anxiety that our living standards are steadily in decline.
Tl;dr: just because people are poorer it doesn't mean they spend less. You are not seeing the poorfags shopping like crazy but those middle class libs who shop not despite becoming collectively poorer, but BECAUSE they are collectively becoming poorer

People should start buying horses, investing in stabling, and oats.

>>49492400
hmm yeah good point

>>49492253
If you've been paying attention to the spending habits of people frequenting these places you will see they have changed even if they're still going frequently. People are starting to act real squirrely at these stores.

That's kind of their point, my dude. A full generation of zoomers and half the Millenials are priced out. The people at the bottom of the economy are still participants and their purchasing power contributes to the economies of scale that make mass production more efficient.

Some shit costs more, and because that shit costs more people can't buy as much other shit. This is a mathematical certainty, yet some how you deny it.
