Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2008 11:01 pm Post subject: Movie Soundtrack Opportunity |
|
|
A friend of mine, who is becoming quite a successful little movie director/producer, who's short just won first prize somewhere in Europe, has asked me if I'd be interested in doing a musical soundtrack for an 8 minute children's sci-fi movie which is already finished and just needs a musical soundtrack to go with it. I agreed, and so this may be my Nov tune as I'm making some good progress on my Oct one. In exchange for this she will produce a music video of me with one of my songs that I can then put up on youtube etc. This is a great opportunity. I may need some help here on how to do this. I haven't a clue on doing music for timing issues etc. But I'm excited. _________________ George Nelson is 2loose

I've done this, and although it was painstaking, and labor intensive, it was fun to watch the results.
Mine was for a 60 second commercial, using Acid Pro, and loops, I can't imagine 8 minutes, but I know you can do it.
Congratulation, and best of luck.

Sounds like a great musical challenge, and the video of your song sounds cool too!
A friend of mine has asked me to put sound to his poems, I recorded his vocals months ago, but need to find some time to sit down and work out what I'm going to do.
I might use one of them for osam, but we'll see.
I'm still running a little late, but normal service will resumed as soon as possible. _________________ Chordial |

It is quite fun to work with that. Fortunately I have been able to work with Nuendo which allows hard coded time to be synced with video.
I don't know how time lock intensive the eight minute project will be. If it is not too sync necessary this should be a cake walk for you. That reminds me of a childrens audio book I did a few years back: Princess Beet. It was kinda cute. Since I was only working with voiced audio, timing was REAL easy.
In fact I probably still got a snippet around if you are interested.

I'm hoping that this is just background and atmospheric music which I could just play along with the video and improvise. I'm wondering how to quantize any portions that might be beat based. For instance if I do some synth pads in a sustained sort of way and then an actual beat kicks in with some bass and lead for set time, I'm wondering from a sequencing standpoint how to set the bpm and measures. I guess I can do it in sections. Or figure out the basic bpm that I will need and then just play "unquantized" the more free form stuff. I guess I'm saying, how to go back and forth from beat to symphonic and back again, in a midi sequence. Maybe I'll have to do tempo changes throughout.
I just thought one way would be to sample the "song" portion and bring in the sample when I need it and I wouldn't have to keep it all in midi at once. _________________ George Nelson is 2loose

Wow - that is so cool - a sound track. 8 min. - ohh man! That is a long time for a tune - for me anyways
Can't wait to see your music video - there are some good ones on da tube - they are always fun.
As for syncing - man I have no idea.
Good luck and congrats!

Hi George
This sounds like a great opportunity for you. Please let us know how you solve the various syncing issues that come up.
And Jon, try to find that 'snippet' you mentioned!
