Award Sounds

For instance, if one member has spent a year creating a product, how does another member get a share of the profits if they're only adding in a few hours worth? That doesn't allowed for the skewed financing and earnings in typical movies. For instance, on big budget movies, actors end up with a lot of the money, but the time they spend on a project isn't as much as a composer. That's assuming they have equal talent as well. How can a young 21 year old actor have as much experience and talent as a 50 year old composing veteran. What it doesn't take into account is the ability to pull in the public. Very few soundtrack composers have world-wide stature and I can't remember anybody saying they wanted to go and see a movie that night because of who scored the soundtrack.

The counter-side to this is that actors who will get involved in the startup projects are less likely to be major Hollywood players and so shouldn't be able to command the higher shares.

I'm half-tempted to try a few different but openly-declared ways of funding this.

I'll address them in another article. If you've got any information on your own organisation structure, let me know or post it in a comment. I'm interested to hear how others have done it.
