Local supervision and licensing specialist Aeroplane Music Services is starting 2018 with Wayne Bell on board (and on the board) in the new position of Creative Director.
Wayne’s been part of the Aeroplane crew for the past couple of years in the music supervisor’s role and has proven himself to be not too bad at it, not too bad at all. Quite good in fact!
Film & TV projects he’s supervised or licensed music for recently include Poi e: the story of our song:, Filthy Rich, Wanted 2, Swagger of Thieves, 100 Men, Decoding Dotcom; Caught in the web, and The Dregs.
Wayne says he’s “excited by the challenge in a fast-moving and evolving industry / growing company type carry-on...just make something up.”
To say Wayne’s musical experience and knowledge is considerable would a bit of an understatement, so we’ll just leave it at that.
A bit more about
Aeroplane
Actual ‘Aw Shucks’ for Aeroplane
"One of the
essentials which makes a film magic, is the soundtrack. With 'Poi e: the story
of our song', the wishes I had were granted and the unrealistic wishes I had
were replaced and improved upon by Wayne and Aeroplane Music. I’ll be doing it
again and again, with these guys for as long as I can." - Tearepa Kahi, Director; Poi e: the story of our song
Their commitment and
support from the start was encouraging. And most importantly at the end they
made sure everything was tied up in terms of contracts, cue sheets and delivery
requirements.
The film has played at a number of festivals both here and
abroad and is now being released worldwide. A number of people have commented
on how the music helps tell the story. I am looking forward to working with
them again on the next project!” - Paul Oremland, Director; 100 Men
“Working
with Jan (Aeroplane Music Services) as our music supervisor was truly a
brilliant decision, once we had discussed the project and given her the budget
she went to work instantly, helping us achieve exactly what we wanted. Her
knowledge was sage and experienced as she really knows her stuff and is
realistic about budgets and quality. She ensured that we got amazing music and
a brilliant result for the show. I thank her and will absolutely use her again
in the future.” - Shannon Cairns, Producer; Wilde Ride

Still reading? That’s brilliant! Here’s some nice, fluffy stuff
people have actually bothered to write and email to us recently.
“I really enjoyed working with Aeroplane on 100 Men. Not only
did they help make a limited budget stretch a long way, but they also
understood the project which was complicated with a variety of different music
requirements.
“It is a pleasure working with Wayne (and Jan) at Aeroplane Music, they are highly efficient and quickly inform on costings and whether we can use the music without stress. Wayne (and Jan) at Aeroplane are highly efficient, quickly informing us on ball park costings and whether any particular song is easy to license, I fully trust them on all negotiations” - Nikki Baigent, Line Producer; Filthy Rich
