Music for Movies

[Ellay]

Seems I always get stuck trying to find the right type of music, that I find interesting as well as the general audience.

Anyone have suggestions on where they usually find their music.

Well if I know the name of the song or band, I do the google search
[code:1]
intitle:"Index.of" (mp3) title.goes.here

ex. intitle:"Index.of" (mp3) dawn.of.victory
[/code:1]
it works most of the time.

If I can't find it like that though, I may buy it with iTunes, there are some websites that let you download it for free like http://e-mp3s.eu/, and there are the other free sites :wink:


As for what type of music to use, I usually just go on iTunes and browse around the previews to see if anything sounds good. If I heard something that sounds like it might be good, I'll do the google search above to try and find it so I can see if it'll be any good.

off topic, but any way... have u released the Arena Video yet? cant wait to see it...

[Ellay]

I need the music before I can release it. I've got about 2 songs. Not sure how long I want the video to be. Basically just pure Arena's. I have about 20 teams I've slaughtered with no problems, trying to maybe pick the most interesting or the ones that were ranked the highest.

Check out songs by Hooverphonic

Finding the right music is hard. I can edit a video 2 times over before I can figure out what song to use. I normally research it. As music that has "feel" or that I enjoy isnt going to go over well being 80's lol.

I start by typing in "PVP music" or something like that. Look at all the diffrent songs people suggestion and listen to them. I found a couple bands that work quite well in any video. I also enjoy listening to EVE radio on-line which normally has something new that I never heard before.

If you are in the states (or even if you aren't and cheat a little) try out pandora.com. Amazing music site. Just plug in the music you like and it will create your own radio station for you, playing stuff similar to the songs/artists you've said you liked. So plug in the tunes you've used for previous videos, and see what it comes up with.

Personally, and again, this is personally, I don't care for the vids that have techno as the music. If a vid has techno, I usually turn it off right there, and find something else to watch. If a vid starts good enough, Like the THX Intro with a character-introduction thing in your video, Ill mute it and listen to good music whilst it plays.

Now, if you want music to go along with completely destroying a team or such, I would suggest something like Disturbed, Mudvayne, Slipknot...or some of the less-heard music by bands like Alesana, ScapeGoat, AABACAB, and the like.

If you insist on hyper-active music to go allong with your vids, then try songs by System Of A Down. They have some very fast-paced/hyper sounding songs.
