Scores are like automobiles -- you can DIY a go-cart or purchase an Aston-Martin. What will help you determine how you should go is the response you get from others about the project. If it seems worth investing more, go ahead -- you've only spent $4k so far so you can afford to splurge a little at the end if it seems worth it.
Since Holiday worked as well as it did, we went beyond our $4k budget by attracting our first investor who was interested in what I was looking for: an original percussion driven score. This got me a room full of percussion instruments:
Which meant me spending most of two months sitting in this chair:
Which seems really awesome, and I got a lot of what I was looking for, but it was an arduous journey I'll get into later that did not go the way I planned.
But you don't need to spend any money. At one point, my co-producer and I were going to just sit down with my Alesis QS 8 and a guitar to create the score for free. You'll have a range of options, but you will need music if you want to be competitive in the feature market.
