Based in Helsinki, maybe moving to Silicon Valley, I’m sitting in a sort of web-dev coop/cafe and some guy who has friends working here told me to check it out.
They basically broker sound design contracts and hold contests to crowd source the work. Maybe I should move the topic the contests sub-forum. Seems like an interesting way to network pro audio, maybe a good way to open the door for more opportunities even.
Sounds just as attractive as a freelancer job. Basically it is one. And I just checked the Company introduction video background music. There are already around 60 submissions and many of them are really worth it.
Just like a real freelance site. The cash is big, therefor the competition is enormous.
But who knows, maybe it’s the way of the future?
I’ll probably register, but I don’t think I’ll find myself specifically doing tracks for those contests. Only if I’ll have some loose melodies.
