Loose Rules & General Info
Hi! Welcome to Melbourne music. I'm hoping this will turn into a great place for artists to collaborate, and for fans to keep up to date on the latest and greatest.
Please try to keep posts about local (or at least Aussie) artists. Posting about international bands touring here is ok, but please don't let it dominate the community.
Rules (will likely not be inforced):
- All posts about bands/gigs should have their genre indicated in [ ].
- Don't fight; be nice to your fellow users.
- Adding a streaming service link to your posts is heavily encouraged.
- Stay on topic.
Mods Needed
I've never moderated a community before, but have always wanted a community like this. So anyone who wants to help/take over, please reach out to me!
What are your favourite local bands?
I'm always looking for more great bands & gigs, so who are your favourite Melbournian artists?
I can only speak from an audio perspective, but for most american films you dont use anything you record on set. That means thousands of hours recording each and every sound, placing it into the film, and mixing it to sound good.
So factoring in the gear cost, work hours, recording studio, etc it can easily reach a few mil on sound alone.
Edit: To answer the second question, bigger production indie films have become a lot more popular post 2020. The smaller staff sizes mean each area (usually) has more creative control; resulting in better films for farrr cheaper.
They also can't afford expensive (and not always better) production techniques, like not using on-set sound.
