[Fmpro] FMN Job 4499 - Music Licensing Co Seeks PD Holiday Music

[Nicholas Pavkovic]

Heads up: I believe the same company was looking for PD Christmas  
music tracks last year. I did one on spec -- not the smartest move  
for me. The music supervisor had to pitch the track to his client,  
who perhaps wasn't looking for the kind of music that we'd worked on.  
I'll never know for sure, because at some point (after several rounds  
of revisions) my emails stopped getting returned. There were no  
guarantees, so I'm less disappointed by the lack of remuneration than  
by the rudeness. And -- due to the unprofessional circumstances -- I  
actually bought and watched the awful movie just to make sure that my  
music wasn't used. (It wasn't.) What a waste of time! Of course, if  
you have a track that they want -- right out of the box -- this may  
be an easy source of income. If the terms are the same as last  
year's: They'll want a (non-exclusive?) buyout and they'll want to  
pay $1000 or less. It'll be for source music in a TV movie. (I guess  
I was OK with the terms because I didn't want any of that yucky  
contemporary Christmas music in my library, anyway ;-)

Cheers,
Nick
