This is my first documentary and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks >> Anna Julia, Congrats on your new project! I expect you'll get lots of good advice from everyone on the list. However, one area that is often overlooked at the PRE-production stage is the POST-production stage, and specifically the consideration of MUSIC (which is, coincidentally, MY field of expertise.) At this point, I would just suggest that you keep the end in mind even now as you begin. So many first-timers don't plan or budget adequately for completion of their project and so are unable to finish. What a shame to work so hard and have some unfinished work with nothing to show for it. Of course, if you have any specific questions that you'd like to discuss involving music and scoring, feel free to query me directly at: [log in to unmask] Wishing you much success!
