The album the song is featured on was recently released in stores. Nathan has also worked with various clients such as Brandon M. Dennis . Known as Oxhorn Brandon is the creator of popular World of Warcraft machinima films viewed by millions such as the “Inventing Swear Words” and “Associate Professor Evil” series, as well as other small films. Nathan has also worked with well known machinima author Johan Vagstedt with Firebolt Productions creating some of the most dramatic World Of Warcraft machinima complete with heavy cinematic fight scenes.

    Other than machinima, Nathan is also versed in composing for short live-action films, such as “Runaway Rightie” and “Finding Lost” by Will Nail, and is also currently working on a project by Carolyn Hodge of “Moondancer Films” and "Emma's Wish"

    What is it you need done other than people getting their work in?
  5. Nathan Allen Pinard
    I'll hold till 2017 then, as I can't right now.
  6. Nathan Allen Pinard
    Uh question. Is this is really long term deal? Because I might not be able to start at all till 2017, but from day one I've been eyeing Jealous and I'm getting close to done with another OCR Project.

    This episode I deal with keyswitching in Bravara Scoring Brass and using sustain to keyswitch in Cinebrass while layering both for Trombone/BassTrombone. Later on it's messing around with VSL Percussion (which is still one of the best basic perc libs that exists) and then topping it off by getting some of the staccato/spiccato strings in.

    Hi everyone! Small schedule change. Episodes will now come out on Wed & Thur.

    Good points. I knew I missed a few. Also some developers will try to get you to sign THEIR contracts. Read these carefully. Often the person that makes the contract has the power. They often will put a clause that the contract is broken if a certain thing happens. I had one I edited myself after they gave me one to have me keep the rights. They initially wanted all the rights. This was a simply early access project. Later on I had a family member (my own mother) do a voice for the game, which they were fine with but in the end they didn't like the voice. But I didn't give

  16. Nathan Allen Pinard
    YES. There are a ton out there that you can buy, or download for free. Some composers tend to make them available. I don't have a template at present, but it's something I need to do. Basically the agreement needs to be legal "sounding" and have certain clauses to protect you. Things like this: 1. The amount (whether specific or a %) Sometimes it's best to do both. And most often in big AAA projects that is the case. 2. YOU holding the GRAND rights to the music. The only time this is ok is if it's a big AAA and they pay you a ton. Some companies will force this, or not hire you.

Every see Prince of Egypt where the red sea is parted? Yeah..kinda like that. (thought that episode hasn't happen quite yet)
