Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can ReelMusician
get a jingle produced?
Production time from start to completion
really depends on a number of elements. The most important factor
though is how much of the creative brainstorming that needs to take
place with our creative staff and your company. Some customers
know exactly what they are looking for while other clients need
some time to go over concepts, review ideas before they are ready
to settle in on an idea - and we don't mind taking as much time that
is needed for you to feel comfortable with the music production and
commercial ideas. We are more than willing to offer suggestions
and help with lyrics, voice over content and with the whole feel of
the commercial. We can complete a jingle overnight and same day
if needed, with usual production time averaging 2 business days
after the go ahead.
Can you take video and insert effects,
music and voice overs?
Absolutely - In 5.1 surround sound if
you'd like! We have a great collection of sound effects,
music beds both real and surreal that we can format ready
for TV commercial and film broadcast with amazing
results! Both our music production software and outboard gear
is among the finest and and can be heard on shows like "24"
with Keifer Sutherland and many block buster movies. We also
have some of the most talented voice over folks in the business -
You've most likely heard some of them on TV and Radio already!
We're
a small company - Can we afford your services?
We can almost
guarantee that our fees will be affordable and that you will feel
that you absolutely got your moneys worth! No "basement productions"
here.
Why is there such a cost difference between jingle companies?
Quite
honestly, like in any business, there are levels of expertise and
production quality. Those starting out with little experience to
those who can't or don't obtain enough work, for a multitude of reasons, often
times will heavily discount their work. Cheaper jingle companies
typically use "affordable" singers and musicians and their work and
yours if you decided to go that route will most undoubedtly sound
cheap, have no positive impact on your sales and be seen as unoriginal.
We believe that ReelMusician is priced affordably with some of the
hottest jingle productions in the industry. We are certainly
not the cheapest, but just Listen to our music production
and then listen to others and the words "wow" will inevitably be heard
because of our solid committment to excellence. Our music production
staff is first class, hands down, and that's all there is to it!
How
do we get started and how does the process work?
Once we both
have a basic understanding of your production requirements, we will
of course quote you a price. With your approval we will begin
to work on all of the ideas that you have in mind perhaps
offering some suggestions that we know that work well and ideas to
steer away from. Being a creative company we will come up with
an array of concepts and ideas for you to choose from and we'll
make sure that you are completely onboard with any and all music production in
the works. We will correspond and drive home a myriad of ideas
until we have the key ingredients in place that we
know you will be happy with. Then we go to town on the production
end and create multiple edits based upon your needs and past conversations
- It's really that easy and we're really that easy to work with!
Why
don't you offer "free idea" jingles for our company to hear?
Simply
because we are so busy writing commercials for companies who are serious
about their image, increasing their sales revenue and who are more
concerned about a quality and sound commercial campaign then they
are about a "freebie." Don't misunderstand, we would love
to write everyone a free commercial, but the level of musicianship
and singers that we use and pay are more than likely substantially
greater than most other jingles writers, who sing the spots themselves
or pay for sub-standard singers and musicians.
