Onboarding for optimal collaboration
Find out how working with DAYDREAM at an early stage ensures your project success.
Early contact doesn't just help for reliable figures!
Even during the financing phase, we can often provide legal, economic and content experience in music based on the available key data and screenplays, which helps with planning.
Analyze the script in good time before shooting!
We scoff at screenplays and like to talk about initial music ideas with decision makers. We identify musical uses in books and provide assessments of them. In particular, if you want to shoot a song in ON, early communication can be a significant relief.
Communicate with musicians through us!
Whether a film composer or other music partner. We achieve optimal negotiation results with long-standing partners because they communicate with us. If possible, before a personnel or content decision has already been made to the partner. After that, it is often difficult to achieve the desired result.
We provide diplomatic advice...
We support creative decision makers exactly where they want it. In doing so, we fully respect the director's decision-making processes and provide transparent information about economic aspects when selecting original songs.
Would you like suggestions for the picture?
Producer, director, and editing room should be aware of the process if we are to make creative suggestions. The music is created as optimally as possible using ProTools.
Short-term income and long-term value creation
DAYDREAM has been successfully founding and managing music publishers for now 50 TV and film producers for three decades. Here too, the earlier, the more coherent the music or score productions can result in a publishing connection with composers.
