Those of you that have paid for film scoring, any guestimates what to budget for a film score for a 5 minute short film? (I am not talking loops or royalty free tracks, but paying for a composer who actually scores short films).
 
Original music seems to be going for around $40 a minute here in Tdot for shorts / docs / indie.
Unless you know the composer and can get a deal based on script / exposure.

Hi, Just saw this when I was looking through the audio threads...

I am a young composer and I am interested in doing score work.
I wouldn't charge much since I am just starting out. Check out this link to my GarageBand profile, It will give you a taste of my style...

You can also look at this video my friend and I just put out. We were kind of crunched on time but I scored it in a couple of days and it turned out really well.
I could spend a lot more time on a 5min short and offer you a really nice score.
