The other thing possibly to remember is that it almost certainly isn't within in your right to post his film on to youtube with your music on it?? I'm not sure of that, but I would imagine his film is still his property. You could possibly argue fair use or creative commons or whatnot, I'm not a lawyer, but I'd be kind of surprised.
And it's not probably not all that wise to whine to someone who has just got a hell of a lot of exposure and might get more off the back of it, or perhaps get another film to make.
Case in point, Gil Kenan made a couple of animated shorts, and took the composer he had on those shorts with him onto Monster House, Douglas Pipes. What if this guy gets asked to make a feature? If he can't get royksopp then, will he come back to the guy who worked solidly and produced a good score but got pipped at the post and then kicked up a fit online? I doubt it, but I don't know the exact situation of course, but assuming normal filmmaking circumstances what you did posting it was a baaaaaad idea. Not meaning to demean your music (which is good, by the way) and the work you put in, but you've got to pick your battles in this game, and you're definitely fighting on the losing side irrespective of how good your cause is.
Just my two cents and I could easily be wrong.

I met with the director, talked about how to make this film as good as it can be, and put as much work into this as anyone, save him and a few of his visual assistants, so why shouldn't I be credited? Just because he chose to use another song, doesn't mean I didn't work on it. Logic People. Professionalism.
I still love my jam. I will use it in the future.
He absolutely did not give me any credit unless he just changed it. |
