Thanks for that Chris - that's extremely interesting.
There was never really any question of me holding onto sync rights in this instance - in my experience that's basically what the upfront fee replaces. I realize this is a big issue for film co...
I havent done any work for Discovery, but here is a very interesting article regarding Discovery and how they deal with music rights. Particular interest is the comments:

Hi Chris - many thanks for your help.
The budget is considerably less than what you've outlined, for a 43 minute show with a high ratio of music content.
I agree with you - if the fee is reasonable, I'm more than happy to part with the publisher...
Hi Jules,
When you say limited budget, how much is it exactly?
In my experience a 30 minute show should pay $5k or more, and you keep the writer's share, THEY keep the publishing. This means it is a work for hire and they own the music. If possi...
I agree with Ola. Take something up front but don't make your composition a work for hire, that is a composition that they pay for one time and then own forever. You may be able to make a stronger "back end" deal, that is you get paid X flat fee o...
Hi Ola
Many thanks for the advice.
They seem keen to get something worked out, and haven't (yet) run a mile at my suggestion of retaining publishing. My concern is that some broadcasters are now insisting on holding publishing for programs they ...
Hi Jules.
Congrats on landing that gig. I would say that if their budget is limited then try to avoid a buyout (unless this is your first entry into doing it professionally and you would do it for peanuts anyway). During negotiations you could tr...
I do not have any advice but wanted to say Bravo. That is something you should be very proud of. I Know as a composer I am very proud for you even though I do not know you. Please let us know when It will be aired. Also Since you are abviously a p...
Hi - I wondered if I could beg some advice.
I've recently been asked to score a Discovery Channel documentary for a London production company.
As ever, the budget is limited, and the musical demands not unsubstantial. Although I'm more than happ...
Peter - your 'review' looks like it's rather more in depth than just 'a review'. You're being as modest as ever.
Great work, and I look forward to reading the next installment, and learning a lot more about divisi writing along the way!

Great work James.
Got mine a week or so ago and very much enjoying them. Section legatos and spiccatos are in a class of their own. Marginally less keen on the solo chairs, but horses for courses I guess. My only other gripe is the difference in ...

As I watched the tennis yesterday I thought about a trip to Paris.
'Haven't been since 2001. Enjoy your trip.

- Hi Jules,
Welcome to the forum and I hope you'll find some time to give a few pointers to the wanabees here and of course chat with a few peers.
Funny enough I'll be passing Knutsford this coming weekend as me and the boss (wife) spend a weekend visiting Cheshire.
