It's time for another FUNimation live event!
FUNimation Live Q&A: Monday February 13th at 6pm Central Time
This time we will have some special guests from our Motion Graphics Department, Jim Welch and Austin Black. Most of the original music you hear in our trailers and promotional videos are created by these guys. For this Q&A, we will be broadcasting live from Austin's office so you can see how they create some of the amazing music first hand. They may even break out some of their instruments and play a little.
So if you have some questions you want to ask about the behind-the-scenes of making music for anime trailers and videos, get them ready for Monday night! Post them in the comments below and we'll pick a few for them to answer.

I just watched the replay and wanted to express how much I loved this behind the scenes look. Your trailers are always amazing and often make me pick up series I otherwise wouldn't have. The music in particular usually sets such a great mood.
One request/question I now have after watching is why isn't more of the music posted on a show's page? After watching a great trailer, it'd be great to always go and get the music. It is hard to tell which is available or not since you have such a small sampling. Since this is all done in house, there shouldn't be rights issues, right?. Could more/all music be posted or maybe even an entire section on the website for the hard work these guys put in.
Thanks!
Have you had any role models that lead you to who you are or what your job is now?
Ever had a day where equipment was just not working in your favor?
Song request! Sekirei trailer theme!
Are you influenced by Japanese artists? OST's? American artists? Etc.?
Question:What anime is your favorite music you have done and what anime you think you could had made more epic?
The Fairy Tail trailers sound Toonami-ish in both music and tone. Is that on purpose?
Do you guys dub the DBZK opening songs ?
