Film Music

Hi,
I would just like to take the opportunity to ask you all where you aquire the music for your films.

I only ask because I have not yet created a feature length film with music.

Thank you,
Lee

well if your not going to sell it, or use it in most comptions, you can just take music from sound tracks, and CDs that sound good.

I downloaded you song, well it was a short clip a while ago, and when it was over, I wanted more.

That music is Brilliant!

Dude take a break from some of your other work and just make some music.

LuteLeigh here is my resident composer and does all my musical needs these days for entire soundtracks

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Tue Aug 05, 2003 2:06 am

I got to find me one of them composers.

LuteLeigh is given each scene as it is finalised and he writes new music for it specifically matched to the mood and timing of the footage

Yes, yes, yes. I'm sure there are heaps of people out there who would love to do it. We (me and grant) just so happen to be friends and the work comes together very easily. It also makes the film that little bit more unique without soundtracks ripped from other sources.

Check out some of the pieces from our downloads. They were all done in Cakewalk, which allows the import of .avi (divX being a handy one), then during video playback, you can record the music through your sound input (of which an External Audigy is recommended).

I just get the feel and mood of the scene as I go. And more often then not, it will take ten times more takes to get it right than the actual filming.

Leigh is a pure genius.

Listen to both us sing on the track from The I-Team : Project FUBAR entitled
A LONG ROAD BACK HOME

Well the site kept crashing ie, but I got one song, liked the riffs.

Mushiman · Post by **Mushiman** » Tue Aug 05, 2003 5:39 pm

Wierd, can't think why it'd crash IE

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Tue Aug 05, 2003 6:01 pm

Me neather, It just gave me an error then IE would close, I'm going to try again when I get a few free minutes.

I don't use music from other soundtracks. The theme to our newest film is done originally with a YAMAHA keyboard. But for the rest of the music in our films, I go through my extensive album collection and match up songs for specific scenes.

Now, if I intended to make a profit from any of my films, I would do an original soundtrack.

Luteleigh · Post by **Luteleigh** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 2:15 am

The Long Road Back Home IS me and grant. Good to hear positive comments. Check out some of the other ones. Me and grant sing Goth Girl too (a fun little track)

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 2:23 am

LuteLeigh always composes original music these days for SIP projects. It is all part of the fun of making the film
