You're the best!! Thanks u so much for this info!!
thanks for sharing!
If I may add some to this: Networking, forging connections within the industry. And another one that is a huge obstacle to many people, including myself: living somewhere where movies are made.
These jobs aren't advertised on social media and nobody is going to hand you a serious project without 1. someone recommending you, 2. meeting you personally and getting to know you.
So if you live in a country where nothing of international significance is made, and you don't have the resources to hop on a plane and go to LA or London or some other major place, then you will be very limited.
I have several small scale documentaries and audio books under my belt, I have a PhD in Musicology, I teach media composition at the university but since I live in Romania I have to accept the thought that there is little to no chance of me ever getting my hands on something major and significant.
Hello! (Salut!) I am from Romania as well but I'm gonna speak in english here. Now this is a great confirmation that you can't find projects in our country. I struggle so hard to find anything to work. Right now I am looking for filmakers and searching on freelancing sites, but it is very hard to find something. I'm really interested what is your experience trying to compose for films/video games in our country!
Thanks for this. This has been very useful. It does highlight some of the areas I need to further my skills. 👍🏻🎹🌍

@@cancion5791 So you believe that successful, rich and famous musicians got there purely because they are vastly more talented than the bottom 99.9 percent of all other musicians? Is it not true that there is nothing more common than unsuccessful people with talent? Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Is it because their marketing plan had some secret sauce… some element that the hundreds of thousands of other musicians and music labels just don’t know about? Is it that these special musicians simply worked harder than everyone else… that the bottom 99.9 percent have not worked hard enough or long enough? True, persistence can overcome many obstacles, but how many middle aged musicians have struggled since their teenage years to “make it” and still all they get are gigs at dive bars and obscure festivals? One can only surmise that the single, undeniable difference between the one percent and the bottom 99 is… luck. Lucky timing. Lucky having a family member or friend well placed at a record company or a powerful, wealthy person with influence to push them through to the front of the line. Lucky to be chosen by a random playlist gatekeeper who preferred the blonde singer to the brunette one. Lucky that the Spotify algorithm happened to pick their lottery number. Ask the billion dollar lottery winner for advice as to how they managed to become so successful when so very many others were not. What was their secret strategy? What on-line plan did they buy that no one else knew of? What skill did they possess than very few others have that earned them that billion? The only logical conclusion that makes any sense… is luck. Pure and simple. For those who want to pursue their dreams and buy that lottery ticket… I say… I wish you all the luck in the world. But to believe that your special talent or your brilliant marketing plan or your super human perseverance will insure your ticket to fame and fortune beside Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran is naive. Reach for the stars but keep your feet on the ground… here in reality. And don’t quit your day job.
say less, bro lol
