Music Clip (Need your help) **Dial Up Warning**

Duke · 11-30-2007, 01:08 PM

I'm looking for a music clip that runs between 45 - 90 seconds in length and is intense and purely instrumental, preferably without vocals. The kind of music I'm looking for should pack some punch with it and hopefully build up to a loud instrumental ending such as:

YouTube - Colin McRae: DIRT - Trailer

or

YouTube - 300

Genre is not important, only that the music builds and carries some punch with it. The movie clip I'm creating will have a sudden end so the music too will need to end instead of trail off.

Also, it is not necessary that your submitted clip end abruptly, I can edit it to do so in WavLab however, there should be a pause or something similar within your clip that allows the music to end without sounding as if it was obviously hacked mid stream.

The person with the best submission will be mentioned within the credits and all people submitting clips will be treated to an advanced, high resolution screening upon publish.

Target Release Date: late Jan, early Feb 08.

Thanks for your help.

NOTE: even if you have a music clip in mind that does not follow the exact guidelines above, please submit it anyway. Often times the recorded action picks the music instead of the music delegating the action. Personal experience has demonstrated that movie ideas come from music, not the other way around so don't be shy, you never know what I'll use because even I'm not sure at this point.

YouTube - Dvorak - Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" - 4th movement
I've also got a short version of this in my testdrive music folder having a good ending.

Thanks for the suggestions folks but please keep them coming.

So far, I like a small 10 second portion of the Master and Commander link but the rest don't really seem to fit what I have planned and what is already filmed.

I'll post some screenshots here a bit later to give you all an idea of certain elements that I'd love timed music to.

Here's some screens to give you a rough idea of movie elements. I'm still unsure of whether or not the movie will use filters to wash out the video and give it a dirtier look, I guess the music will dictate the finished product.

Assault on Ortego:

Re-enforcements:

Artillery Screen:

City under Siege:

dances with wolves
might be a bit soft tho

The Horse Whisperer - this is a few songs from the movie, all very amazing pieces of music!

Seabiscuit - in at about 1:57 is a nice 10-12 second piece

Day After Tomorrow - listen in about 2:35

i dont know if your familiar with Hans Zimmer, but he does so many good movie soundtracks

this is one i think fits your needs a lot - King Arthur
its a very dramatic piece of music.

Crimson Tide is another good one by hans zimmer

Duke · 12-03-2007, 10:19 PM

There all really good suggestions but many lack the punch I need toward the ending. I'm really looking for music that starts off somewhat slow and builds to a quick beat within a minute if possible.

The Day After Tomorrow was great though and I may use if for another future movie (assuming I ever get this one done).

might somethin there - i dunno exactly what yur lookin fer though

From around 1:05 to 4:28 of Parabola is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for in regards to build up, tempo, etc. I've actually considered using Parabola (and still am) but the issue is the slow portion of the music is far too long given the upbeat portion and may require a lot of editing in WavLab plus a re-thinking of overall video runtime.

Ideally, I'd like the same slow to fast beat music with the slow lasting around 1:50 and the fast lasting 1:50 - 2:25'ish.

Maybe it's a good idea if I also add that lyrics are fine but if lyrics are to be used, I don't want them to outweigh the music as the music is what delegates not only the action but the actions tempo.
