Bruce Faulconer - DRAGON AMNESTY Kickstarter Project

[Valkyreo]

Thanks for stopping by - I'm Bruce Faulconer, composer of the American Soundtracks of Dragonball Z. I want to say thank you to you, my fans, for your loyalty and enthusiasm you've shown me over the past twenty years. Your generous praise and compelling interest in my Dragonball Z music has been both rewarding and fulfilling. You've told me it's some of the best Anime music created. Thank you for making it so successful.

Apologies in advance if this has already been posted, but i haven't seen it.

Long story short, Bruce is launching his new project dedicated to DB Z fans.

Thoughts?

Five pledge recipients will also have the opportunity to learn how to score music to Anime with me, Bruce Faulconer as your teacher.

Step 1: Compose like 3 or 4 tracks on your own
Step 2: Hire a few other people to compose the rest of the score, then take credit for their work
Step 3: Profit

After what happened with Butch Hartman, I'm kinda skeptical of celebrity-run Kickstarter projects. Even as someone who grew up with the Faulconer score, and still enjoys it, I don't see the need for this. Why a Kickstarter to fund music? Why not just write the music and then sell it (or better, make money on ads when people listen to it)? Is he struggling to find work now? What's going on?

LMAO. This Kickstarter already looks like it will fail. Is it because everyone in fandom already knows that he barely made any tracks (about 10%) or something else?

The part where he lost me in KS video is where he says the piece will be 10 minutes long. So he wants 28 000 US Dollars for a 10 min piece? What the?

But in all honesty i kinda feel sad for him. Not sure why.

[MasenkoHA]

Lol I don’t. Took credit for other people’s work, threw a bitch fit when he wasn’t invited back to score GT, and noe this cringe starter.

This is pretty embarrassing. He must be hard up for money and DBZ is just the biggest thing he has going for him. Honestly, you can probably count on one hand the number of tracks that Falconer himself composed for the show. Real credit goes to people like Scott Morgan, Mike Smith and Julius Dobos who did 98% of the actual work. The only reason Bruce gets the credit is because it’s his name on the sign.

The real important question we should be asking here is why is this in the Kai section?

Yeah, this seems like it would make infinitely more sense in the General Discussion thread.

Yeah, you are correct on all points! I'm kinda still newbish here so if anyone can move it there great!

Seems pretty ignorant from him praising himself about DB Z and still not crediting the real people. And again, it's 28k us dollars for a 10 min piece music that he asks, yeah pretty funny

It pains me when i request unreleased music and always have to ask ''Faulconer'' music instead of Morgan/Smith/Dobos for obvious reasons.

Getting real strong Ken Penders vibes from this guy. Right down to the prior lawsuit and everything.

[JulieYBM]

28k. For a single track. By a guy with his own studio.

...

As crazy as it sounds, this actually sounds less insane and unrealistic then a lot of the other Kickstarters i've come across(mostly video game related ones). I have more faith in Bruce then say Tim Schafer to actually deliver on what he promises.

[TheBlackPaladin]

Eh, this isn't for me personally, but at the same time, I'm having a hard time knocking somebody for trying to find a way to make money during a time when so many aren't working (assuming of course that the way they're making money is legal and ethical, which it appears to be in this case). So, what the heck. I wish him luck.

[FoolsGil]

I don't know anything about making music, but $46.66 USD a second for one track is a lot of money. Suppose that covers the workers. As mentioned everywhere and here, pieces he made on are few and far between. $28,000 for one track makes more sense if you consider payroll.

[Underscore_Johny]

Had the title said it was the "Mike Smith", or "Scott Morgan" Kickstarter Project, it might actually have been worth the look. Those guys actually know how to make music.

Finally, after all this time, we're getting the Lara-Synth Chronicles.

Hey look at it this way, at least he doesn't sexualize young female characters like Penders does. (for those who don't know what i'm talking about, last year year Penders lamented on Twitter how he was unable to tell a story in the Sonic the Hedgehog comics where Princess Sally loses her virginity to Geoffrey in what would've been a case of statutory rape, and he tried to justify it by saying Sally was "32 in squirrel years", dear god this guy is sick in the head ).

Time to flood the comments section with Morgan/Smith/Dobos posts!

[Valkyreo]

And suddenly 5000 USD is enough...LOL!
