Making Media Now 2008
On Friday, May 30th, the annual conference hosted by Filmmakers Collaborative in New England will feature a panel discussing the future of film music. I’ll be hosting the panel of industry veterans to talk about how things have changed in the last 5 - 10 years. If you are a filmmaker wondering how to approach music for your film or if you are a composer wondering how music and scores are being completed for films these days be sure to stop by.
The Making Media Now conference has always been a great event for Boston and I’m sure this year will be even better.
Music for Film 2.0
1:30pm-3:00pm
Music for a film can present a daunting task to film directors and producers. Licenses, copyrights and contracts must be considered, as well as the individuals responsible for creating and/or editing the music. As we move forward into more collaborative creative environments, how has the relationship between the director and the music for their films changed? A panel comprised of industry veterans that have embraced new technologies and capabilities will investigate the move away from traditional music work flows and into a more flexible model. A look at the pros and cons of current practices will be considered as well as a look back at what worked in a fixed framework. Long-distance collaboration, non-locked pictures, international recording sessions, new licensing schemes and contracts will be among the topics discussed.
Panelists: Bill Elliott , Berklee College of Music; Tom Phillips, OBT Music; Alison Plante, Center for Digital Imaging Arts; Roland Tec, Pinkplot Productions. Moderated by Jeanine Cowen, Assistant Vice President, Berklee College of Music.
