No I don't. I don't need to. Your entire world is foreign to everything I am interested in. Because what you exist for is technical knowledge for the sake of technical knowledge and for the sake of money-making - i.e. the essence of Hollywood film scoring.
My only interest in technique is as a direct route to artistic creation which must be done independently, as an individual, totally outside of the Hollywood system with is now completely corrupted by materialism. That is the world you desperately want to be a part of . The world I rejected long ago. And so your attempt at impressing people with technical jargon for that system, and judging some naive applicant to your "internship" is nothing to me.
Write one great melody for piano and I will deeply admire you. Screw composers over and try to then impress people with your "pro" requirements and terminology and I am contemptuous of you.

My take is that unless you have a lot of disposable income and or have someone to finance your operation in Hollywood.. you would be better off getting something together on your own in addition to something like this app.. I think it's always good to do, but one of my interns went to LA to work for a Grammy winning producer and ended up just answering phones.. He needed to find out on his own.. Know one can tell you how to pursue your career, but you. It's always a risk! Some good and some not. Being around that scene is like being on the road. Everyone needs to experience that to see those realities. I was down there for years.. Worked with Mark Isham and others which came about by just creating something that they wanted from me. That is sometimes the best way. Orchestrators are a dime a dozen unfortunately as are PA's.. As a side note a bit off topic... Enjoyed the Sony Lot stuff with James Newton Howard.. Worked there a bunch on sessions back when it was MGM before the face lifts in the 90's. I think it was 1996 when it changed to Sony officially. Pictures never get finished now, they just run out of time and get released.. The real story is that James Newton Howard replaced Howard Shore after "creative differences" with Peter Jackson. Then James hired about 25, (maybe less), orchestrators to finish the film. That was the dish on the lot. G
