i want to make music for flashes

as i see the chances very low for having a flash artist to come around on my page and think about requesting some custom music for his/her flashes i have thought of some different approach...
i have watched some movies before that uses electronic styled music to support the flash, while i have always liked orchestral music better when its about background music for flashes (not with every movie though)
my idea is to search for decent flashes and then make a fitting orchestral song for it, when i have finished it i will ask the flash author what he thinks about the custom made music on the hope he will change the songs in the flash for me
it will take a lot of work for something that might not get accepted by the artist, but at least it will be a great experience to make a song fit to a story you see on screen

now i am requesting you (yes you!) to help me out finding flashes, or if you are a flash artist you can just ask my help directly
i am looking for decent flashes (i prefer movies because it has a story fixed to a time line, so you dont need to look for games) that have electronical styled music or something like that (or has no music at all), that could really use some orchestral music to support the flash
so do you know some flash you wish to have better music? please send me a notice, i will try to make some custom music and if it works out i will try to convince the artist by letting him hear what i made
your help will really be appreciated, i really want to experience how it is to make custom made music... i only hope it isnt too early for me to do that, but i will notice that soon enough when i give it a shot!

............Just so you know.

That's not going to work.

you never know till you try something
doing nothing doesnt work either too... the ones who really look for customized music only checks the bigger artists... and those who dont want to spend time asking the artist but simply looks for some nice tune in the audio portal (or somewhere else) and try to make it fit them self or dont even bother doing really something with it
the first groep (that is growing bigger fast), would never ask me since i am too much a beginner, the second group only looks for songs that already exists, not for artist to ask for custom made music
so no other choice then waiting till im popular (which might never happen anyway), or trying things with a low chance of succeeding... i choose to try something stupid on the hope to find something

watched your flashes, but dont think your type of animations will work out... because what im looking is a story on screen to write music for... the animations you have right now is too much based on small parts of randomness
for movies like that i need to make very small parts of music depending on each small part... thats not what im aiming for...
Glass of Water comes a little bit close to what kind of movie i need though, but its still too random
im sorry... but thanks anyway!!!

There might be chances to make this automaticly fail [forgive me my english]
but, i believe that, if you search hard enough youll find your way.

this comment isnt really gonna help, its more to support.
but... i need to ask this:
do you really want to, make/write music or 'convert' a story-line on screen, to musical art?

i believe, music doesnt come from an already made story line.
bc it mostly includes music already, chosen by the producer of the story.
but it does come from your own made story, what ever that might be.

all in all, im trying to tell you, that music CAN include a story, thats where it mostly stands for right? to bring a message to the listeners.

Well, enough of my english xD

i have asked my question, and want you to give an answer to my question ONLY, let the rest flew by, or think about it...

what you are saying has a great truth in it...
my music is mostly based on feelings (a story is in music based on the feelings, only vocals can make a story without concluding feelings), when im feeling happy i tend to make happy or adventurous sounding music more then sad music or a intense song...

most of the time i write music right after i get a inspiring feeling too...
but when watching a movie i easily get touched by the story... my mind has continuously very small music ideas

that means because a movie gives me some feeling while watching i could use those feeling as a inspiration for music... and one of my bigger reasons is that good use of music can make almost any movie great
music can give a lot of emotional power, when your feeling sad because of a sad story then a sad song can easily finish the job to make the tears flow... or show me some beautiful landscape and i look my eyes out, ad some adventurous music to it and i get thrilled so much that i cant even explain it

music has many forms and i want to do (or at least be able) a lot of different things with music... i continuously experiment with different things in music... there are many styles i try to learn from and i am non stop looking for some new inspiration...
the idea to do this is my new inspiration (even though i always wanted to try it out once since i started making music)... this wont make me stop making music like i always did, but it lets me do more things with music

Ofcourse, i lets you do more experiments with music, didnt think about that one..
but you didnt fully recieve the message i put in my previous comment/review.

my message was and should be:
Why, arent you looking for a flash AUTHOR instead of submissions :)
bc if you have found one, you can stick together with the him/her and make some ideas, which would make it easier for the both of you.

but as always, this is just my idea to make it easier for both sides.
could you please tell me what you might be thinking about this?

i find the artist by looking for flashes without fitting music... there is not really another way to find artists except for posting in the BBS
but since i hate to disappoint someone with promises that i might not be able to make, id like to first test it out a little and to show the artist what kind of music he can expect...
if it goes well then i continue with that flash artist for sure the way you mean
but first i will do some tests i think.... even though it might not be the best way to do it
