I usuuuuually don't like to give numbers out, however you're more than welcome to email me at C.Bledsoejr [at] [Gmail.com] and we can chat a bit. But in this article, $70 per minute is TERRIBLY cheap. Just to give you an idea of what the top film composers usually do, is probably between $1000-2000 per minute for a…

Unfortunately it's like this with SO many creative people. Ever watch a really dumb coke commercial or something? I doubt the graphics artists and animators thought it was their best work ever. But they sure got paid well (Hopefully). :-p

What's funny, is that I do a lot of Hans Zimmer sound alikes. It's what clients want. It's rare for someone to say, "What do you think?" or "Why don't you just write your own creative music, use your imagination!" No, you have to please the client. While I do enjoy writing hybrid orchestral Zimmer style music, I'd…

As a video game composer, I can relate to this article completely. And let me tell you guys, this creative industry is NOT easy, but has been a fantastic opportunity for new songwriters, composers, and musicians. I love writing music, I always have, but my biggest paychecks come from video games. My biggest exposure…

I once photoshopped my old student ID to get a student discount on photoshop.

I never understood why people get HDTVs for their computers. I definitely spend my time working at my computer. I have a 22" and a 23" at 1080p and it's great. Even lovely playing PC games. If I want to play consoles games or watch a movie then it's gotta be on the living room TV.

My mom used to play X-Men with me on Sega Genesis when I was a kid. And my dad used to play some football games with me, but I used to get too cranky cause I would always lose and it was late at night and past my bedtime...

It's okay, she kind of a looks like a more dike-ish version of my ex GF so maybe... That's why... I'm oddly... Eh, forget it. :-p

I think she's really funny and ridiculously charming and I KNOW those type of jump cuts aren't anything new, but she takes it to a level that really makes her show stand out. Personally I'm a big fan and I suggest you watch more (Although not all of them are great, but she is branching out to different things).

She's trying too hard to be Harto, who in my opinion, is much more charming

Exactly why I use dropbox over other services. I do professional audio and it's usually easier for my clients to use dropbox because I'm dealing with files anywhere from 400MB-5GB. Better than most services who have pretty nasty file size limit. I really should set up an FTP and log in page on my website but it's fine…

Man, you've been holding that one in for awhile, huh? Haha...

It's interesting, I've always felt that way to an extent with PC games. But I usually use the following guidelines...

I'm actually terribly jealous of this company and Darren for creating a wonderful indie game with a fresh soundtrack (Being an indie composer myself). It's a fantastic game that I think everyone should pick up. I'm usually weary of indie games because the appeal usually doesn't last long for me, but I was addicted to…

I've got a 50% off Valve coupon. I'll trade if you have something. Otherwise I don't particularly care :)

This is ghetto-licious. I'm sure you can find a showerhead for like $20 at Target/Osh/Home Depot/insert store here.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but when I read the UC's website, it seemed to imply that freedom of speech and peaceful protesting is allowed on campus as long as it does not disturb other activities (Like blocking laboratories, classrooms, pestering students and extracurricular activities). Everyone keeps saying,…

Meh. Hate is such a strong word. I played the crap out of CoD1, CoD2... United Offense... I absolutely loved MW1. But since that game, the experience playing the game has been flat and the Experience to Cost ratio has gotten to the point where it's not worth the purchase. I don't hate CoD. I just prefer not to waste…

I'd rather suggest the rear wall than behind the speakers. You're trying to minimize reflections. Other than coffee table, your body, and the sofa, many of the first reflections are going to be hitting the rear wall and the side walls. The idea is to diffuse the sound waves as to have it lose energy before it reflects…

I will definitely see if I can get my girlfriend to call HR this week. Hopefully it won't be difficult to reach anyone and get an answer. I Suppose it's the only way to know for sure :)
