looking for an orchestrator (needs to know finale)

[magates]

I am in a time bind and I need a detail oriented orchestrator who knows Finale well. This is for about 20 minutes of music with a 91 piece orchestra. Film music. So classical orchestration skills are only half the battle - we also need to make sure the orchestrations are fully playable with little rehearsal.

What you will be doing is taking my 120 stave finale mock ups and changing it into a score form complete with proper divis, doublings, articulations, dynamic and other expression markings (based on the mockups). Work will begin around mid july and I'll send you music as it's done and approved.

I have little to no cash to hand out but I would like to barter with you. I will return your services by doing work for you in the future (in fact I'll do more work for you). I am just in a time bind and I need some help. I am very good at mockups, orchestration and copying. www.symphonicuproar.com for examples of my work.
If you really are only interested in working for money let me know your rate and I'll see if I can come up with the money.

Meanwhile.......Here in 13th century England

Could you clean out our straw hut - it's made of wattle and daub. I've asked Brother Cadfael to help us out with the thatching - but he said no.

No,no, Paul! First he'll turn up, and then invite all the other brothers!

You'll be up to your neck in Monk!

Greetings Spartacus, and how's the renovations doing?

Terrible - you can't get the tradesmen. They're all shit.

Anyway - 91 piece orchestra and 120 staves....that's an awesome amount of milk and eggs.

And with all that milk and all those eggs, the job would be even less economical.

Because you'd need a couple of ton of laxative afterwards.......

Also, we are having a heat wave here in Nevada, but it rarely gets over 105F and I make really good lemonade.

Do you know that it rained every single day here in June? Middle England is currently still under water. None of them can believe it. Also, none of them understand - 'don't build houses on a flood plain'.

Tell you what, the whole proposition is very interesting, I just have a problem with the lemonade, if you serve me cold beer I'll do your house work while I'm there, but no windows!

We can close this thread, I have found the help i need. Thanks for the comic relief though. [:P]

What?!?!? Are you mad? You said there are 'named' actors in this film. That's what you said. You said that. You stated that. We need to know how they're getting paid. Milk? Eggs? Sides of beef? I hesitate to say ribs of pork because I understand you live in Los Angeles - but this could change the course of history in film making.
Instead of seeing all those salaries on imbd - we could see what Bruce Willis barered for doing Die Hard 4.0. Think of it.

[magates]

Paul - different film. This film's entire budget is under 300k. I spent all my money on orchestra - I can't afford much else. You guys need to watch the sarcasm it can be very insulting. (if not intended)

[Guy Bacos]

Magates,

I don't think it had anything to do with you, if I may make the comparison, the way afro-american were treated in the past and today comedians as Chris Rock will take advantage of this to humor people, and we know musician have always struggled to make a buck so this was hard to resist but I don't think these jokes were related to your original post, just an excuse for us to make bad jokes. [[;)]]

Then you need to get more money from the company, because if anyone else is getting paid, the orchestrator should be getting paid. Sorry, but that is how things are.

If someone is to do this for free for you, it's only for themselves and whatever reasons they have. But they will realize later that they should've pushed for more.

[magates]

look, my orchestrations skills are top notch. The guy who agreed to do it is actually paying orchestrators just to have me orchestrate his work in the future. capisci?

Of course. Matt you need to lighten up just a tad. Guy is right on the money - or in this case the milk and eggs. Just musicians making jokes - hopefully at your expense - sorry, there I go again. Expense is inappropriate in this instance. [:D] [:D] [:D]
You're definitely one of the VSL family and I for one, always enjoy listening to your output. I don't always like it, but I always enjoy listening to it.
