## Description

An introduction to the People, Problems and Psychology of the film music business

Review: Practical Guidelines for the Emerging Compiser - I have been working/writing professionally in the studio environment as a composer and pianist for about 3 years now, and I'll have to say that Richard Bellis has certainly put together a wonderful collection of information within this quick and easy to read book! I have to say that I laughed out loud during half of the book because almost every single "problem" scenario he mentions has already come up in my own work one way or another.... Even within the short amount of time I've actually been out working! The book is a testament to understanding that you will deal with problem solving throughout your entire career, and you are you are giving yourself a leg up by educating yourself about these scenarios! Whether it's studio problems, dealing with producers, or trying to cover your ass when things get chaotic ... The foundation of how to deal with these things are in this book! It's a wonderful read, and it has great value to the professional as well as those who are just starting out! Thanks for such a well written book Mr. Bellis!
Review: Very Practical, Very Succinct. - This book is a must-read for the aspiring film composer. It's a very practical book about how the business works, where you fit in to it, and where everyone fits in around you. While it doesn't go to the length of contract excerpts and spotting lists, it has everything you need to begin to understand the larger business around you, and the easiest ways to thrive in that environment.
