๐ญ Hello, fellow Pipers! โจ
How have you all been? I've been doing really well. It's been about 7 months since I started writing "The Pied Piper," and now the script is almost complete with a clear structure! The characters, the world, and the fantastic storyline are all finished now! It's finally time to take out the piggy bank we've been saving together and turn it into a song.
With a heart full of excitement, I started preparing to contact the composer. I studied what elements are needed for a music commission, how much would be a reasonable price, and how to write a good proposal. And finally, on the 16th, I sent a business email to the composing agency!
And the result was...!!!
Rejected
They said, "Thank you, It won't be passed."
The reason was that we didn't have enough money. The agency asked for $10,000 for a completed 3-minute song, but we only had about $3,000 in our piggy bank. I was shocked by the large amount of money... even the piggy bank was a huge amount for me. The seemingly impossible amount made me feel powerless. Besides, we couldn't invest all the funds into the song since we need to hire voice actors and mix the final sound.
Creating an animation is like running an obstacle race. When you solve one problem, another one pops up in the next stage. And the methods you knew before are never enough to solve the problems. So, we stumble every time. But... because I've fallen hard once before, I could get up more easily this time. And I started looking for positive solutions.
โ
There were two solutions:
- Earn more money.
- Search for an amateur composer nearby who can grow together.
And I made a list of specific tasks I could do for each method.
โจEarn more money:
- Create a one-person company and look for investment opportunities.
- Look for funding programs.
- Take commissions.
- Borrow money from friends and family.
โจSearch for an amateur composer nearby who can grow together:
- Ask people in my contacts for recommendations.
- Post a composer recruitment notice for Pipers' followers.
- Post a job offer in composer-aspiring communities.
- Ask other genre workers on freelance sites if they can do musicals too.
Among the list, the quickest thing I could do was to ask people in my contacts, so I immediately started doing that.
And luckily, I was able to find a composer to work with right away!๐
The connected composer had already produced several short film soundtracks and had experience creating musical numbers. They were a senior at school, introduced to me through a friend, and even so, they gladly accepted the commission, which made me very grateful.
And then, next week! The first composition meeting for "The Pied Piper" musical will take place! Finally, the unique sound of Pipers will come to life, and I'm so excited! If we proceed with the composition, I'll definitely share the progress with you!
However, the script work got a little delayed. The first draft of the script is finished, but it still feels rough to show, so it might take a bit more time. (It's not the final script because it will be continuously revised even after being uploaded!)
Once again, this week reminded me that this project can progress because of all of you.
Though it's a challenging project, thank you for always supporting me.
I love you all! See you next week!
