Yes...Dietz, That is helpful. I didn't find any new movies to put on my list though.  I guess the main thing I get from that thread is that it would naturally be uncommon for a feature film to be scored with VSL exclusively just because most composers use multiple libraries.  And the bigger films with live orchestras tend not to credit VSL when they do use some of the library mixed in. 

I, on the other hand, don't feel the need to hide VSL because it's clear there is no live orchestra when you check the film credits at the end.  But nobody's saying it sounds synthetic or something.  In my situation, instead of hiding it, like it's my secret weapon, I embrace it, even make it a selling point.   I live in a very artsy city that wants, very badly, to be the next film Meca.  But we don't have the kind of film music infrastructure that LA would have for instance. 

With my limited budget I decided to invest heavily in VSL from the start and really try to become adept at using it.  So many people have so many tech toys and gadgets but become master of none.  I bought the complete Pro Edition with the Performance Set, plus the Epic Horns, Chamber Strings, and French Oboe.  That's a very powerful tool if it's put in the right hands.  And that's how I scored nearly this entire film with VSL.  The only big exception was the use of piano, which VSL didn't have at the time anyway and then occasionally grabbing one instrument here or there from other libraries.  Other than the piano, I'd say it's about 95% VSL.

So I'm still waiting and anxious to hear about other films but I'm beginning to think I'm not going to hear too much more.

I'll just wait here for a while..............tick...tock... tick... tock... tick...tock.......

In recent months I noticed dozens of orchestral music in cinematic releases, as well tv productions and advertising tracks with non-real orchestral soundtracks made with samples solely.

Well there. You see?  I knew they were out there.  Angelo, you have noticed dozens of them just recently.  Then it should be real easy to come up with a name or two.  I know VSL is used extensively in film, tv and commercials. And so it should.

You might have missed the part though where I was limiting my search to (a) feature length films and (b) solely VSL samples. 

Angelo, can you think of some names? that also fit my criteria?  That would be most helpful.

I just had a thought though.  Maybe a lot of those films are work that people don't want to own up to. Or it was work they had to do quickly and maybe isn't something they want to show off.  Or maybe the movie is just awful. Or the score is just downright amateur work that VSL wouldn't want to be associated with anyway. 

Does that sound right? Anybody?

If I understand you right (which I am having a little trouble doing, by the way) I think you are reaffirming my notion that hardly anyone is going to speak up and name names, even if they do exist.

Yes, that's what I tried to say.

My English is terrible, I know, but guess what...

.

OK. I think I'll give it a rest for now then.  But I'm still interested in finding out about other films scored nearly completely with VSL.  And I'll state my criteria once again:

"say at minimum....any feature length film that is getting some play either at film festivals, a limited theatrical release or some successful distribution going directly to DVD." 

So if you are reading this and it is still the last post in this thread you know I am still waiting for other film names that would fit my criteria.

Guy,
