I'm going to see if changing my request will make a difference. I really hope it does because the whole storyboard I made fits perfectly with the song and I don't want to have to change it. We'll see. It's 2:28 on March 11th. I'll be back later tonight with an update and hopefully I'll have good news.

Okay so I just got home and I already got a response. My request has officially been denied, something about the client not wanting to accept requests that are low-fee. If anything I thought having a small-scale project would make things easier in terms of licensing because they're be less complications but I guess not. So now I have to find a new song and request the rights for that. This time I'm going to try to make sure that I get the rights to the song before planing a whole shot list around it.

Update: I made a playlist of possible songs. Then, I chose two: Walking the Cow (written by Daniel Johnston but preformed by Kathy McCarty) and Campus by Vampire Weekend. You might recall Campus from one of my previous blog posts where I discussed which song I wanted to choose. Originally, I decided against it but I brought it back because it's still a good song and works for what I had in mind. Even though it's just the cover version, Walking the Cow might be a little out there but I love the song and feel like I could do something interesting with it. Anyway, I sent an email to each respective publisher. The publisher for Walking the Cow hasn't replied but the publisher for Campus replied pretty quickly so I've filled out a form and am waiting to hear back from them. If I don't have a response by tomorrow from either I'll pick another song from the playlist and request rights for it.
I'm tired and bitter and I really really wanted the Grizzly Bear song but I guess that's just how things go sometimes. 'Till next time.
