Once again we are seeing fluff and nonsence, in order to support your weak business case, which has no merit.
Me ? Pay $500 because someone wants to work with me ?
No, that's not the way it works. That $500 is paid for from the production budget.
Ever sat in a prodution meeting ? Ever done a production budget ? Quite clearly not. They take hours, often with little achieved.
If your boys were gainfully employed, they would be doing what they love to do, and they wouldn't see the light of day, even to listen to one track of music.
They're clearly not producing music. That's because there is no money left in the cookie jar.
So, what do they do ? Sit and listen to Joe Bloggs and charge them $75 because they have tripped over the odd famous person from time to time.
The real people in the industry are working at their chosen profession. And they're working damn hard just to keep it afloat.
I'm now being laughed at, and called "bitter".
It's a very well known phycological tactic used by scam artists..... I'm sorry, dream merchants,.... to further line their pockets.
When I get invited into a project, it's just that. An invitation.
Do you think in your wildest dreams, that decision makers i.e. those with the deep pockets, are ever going to take a chance on some guy they don't know, from a 5 minute pitch ? ( which don't exist ) Perhaps you should watch more Seinfield re-runs.
Your boys are "opening up" ? What a load of rubbish. They are opening up their empty wallets, for the gullible to fill them.
Please offer you services. Just don't expect old and exhausted industry folks to agree with your tactics or your motives.
cheers, niteshift
PS - you may attack me all you wish. I'm over it.
