aight, this completely pisses me off. I sent the couple a preview of the prep segment
of their shortform (so they could see progress was being made) and they totally dissed the music. they want soundtrack stuff. anyone have any ideas for music that fits this?

I'd try SonicFire (SmartSound Software (http://www.smartsound.com)) or Sony Cinescore.. SONY is a deal right now since they are phasing out.. their "Pass the Ring" theme music might have something for you.

no offense, but these scores sound too "canned"

If you are still looking, here are a few samples. There are many great composer. Some that I have found that work well are Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman and Rachel Portman.

I took the liberty to add a few examples to the first minute of your video, going from light and easy to more dramatic. See if this gives you any ideas.

1. Hans Zimmer: The Holiday Soundtrack - Gumption
