Ruud Hermans: Music composer and sound designer.

How closely does the composer and sound designer usually work together on small films?

Hello you all, I am wondering if you guys work with directors from other countries then your own and who live abroad as well. I have been lucky to have one of the shorts I did screened in London at Raindance filmfestival. I am living in Holland myself but I went there and met quite a few directors at that screening from all over the world and ended up working with 2 of them. One is from Sri lanka and we do all discussions on his projects via zoom or skype or videocalls. It turned out that we worked so well together that he told me he does not want to work with anyone else but me. It was highly unexpected but very rewarding! Have you got any experience on working with directors abroad?

Hi everybody,

I'm fairly new here, but I think this is a moderate place to start! I'm re-entering the orbit of the film/t.v. composing world after touring internationally with Cirque du Soleil (until March of this year).

Prior to that, I worked as composer/orchestrator in Montreal, where I lived for a few years. This had me involved with many En/Fr productions, along with some larger projects such as Bruce Beresford's "Double Jeopardy", and Christian Duguay's "The Art Of War", "Hitler: The Rise Of Evil" etc.

They all seem so far off now, though I do recall they were shot in colour.

I'm curious. Is anybody, aside from me, using Digital Performer as their main DAW? I recently upgraded my system and was about to switch to Logic, but just couldn't hit that button. Now I feel so alone!

Pleasure meeting you here!

Was talking with a Stage 32 about referencing other docs for structure or subject matter, and thought - LET'S DISCUSS! What's your favorite? Share your links below!

Are you using it as research for another doc or a narrative? Or you doing it to generate leads on subject matter experts?
