staring with a few questions:\nAre your songs copyrighten?\nWhat Performing Rights Organization are you a member of?\nHow many genres do you work in?\nDo you specialize in a genre?\nHow large is your catalog?\n\nThese are key things to sort out when venturing into the world of music publishing. In a perfect world you'd find a manager a publisher and let the money start rolling in....unfortunatly getting a publshing deal these days is about as hard as get a record deal.\nBUT\nthe good thing is publishing deals with mainly with ownership and issuing the rights to use a song.\nFor that perspective you can copyright your songs, compile and organize your catalog and bamm, you're a publisher.\nTHE \nhard part comes in selling your songs to the movies.\nKnowing your market is key, know what your movie makers want, and actually having it...\nUnderstand that doing all types of genres doesnt mean a hill of beans to a music supervisor looking for a specfic song for his movie project.\nDoing the research, knowing the music desision makers are  and what they need is how you get a feel for the demand of your catalog in the market.\nTrade mags, tip-sheets, etc.. can help with this, but keep in mind these resources and contacts are valuable to independent artist  and companies and should not be abused. Some tip-sheets are not cheap and for some you even need to provide credentials to buy. If you are a member of a performing rights org., check their website, look for workshops, \nshowcases, events where panelist speak and answer questions, or events that give you a chance to meet people. At some point you have to put on your salesmen's hat. \nButs not impossible to get a song placed on your own...

From ASCAP:\n"If you plan to hire your own musicians and singers and create an original recording of a copyrighted song, then you need the permission of only the music publisher. [...] Recording rights for most publishers are represented by the Harry Fox Agency" \n\nFrom Harry Fox Agency:\n"If you are manufacturing and distributing copies of a song which you did not write, and you have not already reached an agreement with the song's publisher, you need to obtain a mechanical license. This is required under U.S. Copyright Law, regardless of whether or not you are selling the copies that you made."\n\nThe exception is if the song is in the Public Domain; go to http://www.pdinfo.com/ to check if it is or not.

And you probably won't.  Disney is notoriously protective of their work; they guard their copyrights fiercely.  I've never seen a script of any of their films, only music & lyrics to the songs, and those you have to buy in sheet music form.  So, you can get the songs from "Cinderella", but I doubt that there's anywhere you can get the script.

This is typically called licensing. Since the Yahoo! TOS has a strict policy against posting commercial sites, I'm not able to provide links. However, just do an online search for "music licensing."\n\nI posted a couple sites that will help you with this too.\n\nHope that helps!

As someone previously answered you need to worry first and foremost about copyrighting your work, Type out the lyrics with you name on the sheet appearing as the songwriter, date it,seal it in an envelope and mail it to yourself, DO NOT OPEN IT, and put it up for safe keeping somewhere like a safe or safety deposit box. This should establish what is commonly referred to as a poor man's copyright on the work. \n\nAfter you've done that....\n\nMusic producers aren't hard to find per say however you might want to work with a music compser/arranger to finish the piece and then consider pursuing publishing rights on the work through BMI or ASCAP so that your work can be available to other members of those two groups in their perspective libraries. Countless musicians and producers scan their extensive catalogs looking for new music and songs. TAXI is an organization that also pitches work to record companies, television and movie studios. It costs money to be a member of all these groups I've mentioned but, if the investment pays off???

Register your script with the Writers Guild of America -  http://www.wga.org/subpage_register.aspx?id=1183\nIt costs just $20 and you can do it completely online, by uploading your script.  Having your script registered with the WGA protects your copyright and enables you to refer back to the registered copy on the date you put it out there to counter anyone else's claims that they may have created the story first.  To get feedback do a search of Yahoo Groups in your area for filmmakers and put a posting for people to read and review your script.

IF you own the rights to the images, ie you took them and they are yours. You will then need to find music from an unsigned artist, and get their permission to use their music ..

Hiya.\nWhat you should do is get some of your talent onto tape or CD!  Make some of your own songs up, or sing ones that already exist.\nBacking music is also good, but the record company listening to it wants to hear you, wants to hear versatility and depth.\nThen when you are done, get the address's of about 10-20 record labels and send off a copy of your tape/CD to them.  The more you send to, the better.\n\nGood luck\n\n\nPS:\nYou can get their address's from the Internet by typing in Sony record label etc.
