    Music for promotional video

    It is something that can come back to haunt you. It may be able to skirt around YouTube's technology that disables audio on videos using protected songs, but that doesn't mean using a cover version is any less illegal if it's an unlicensed cover version and it isn't paying any royalties...

    The Human Centipede?

    LOVE both the Human Centipede and Human Centipede 2. The doctor in the first was frightening. He bled misanthropy. He was great, but I have to say I love Martin more. Never says a word in the Human Centipede 2, yet I actually managed to feel sorry for him (momentarily) just watching him in...

    Best format for composers

    Anything Quicktime compatible is fine for me. As long as framerates stay the same, there's no issue. A timecode burn is especially important, even more so now, when the filmmakers and composers are using different software, and it doesn't work for the composer just to say "start the music file...

    Children and Horror

    Some people are adversely affected by horror to what they think is a great extent. I am not one of them, but they tell me that watching a horror film may cause them to have nightmares or trouble sleeping. The images get stuck in their heads and they keep hearing those scary sounds and screams...

    Trailer for our FIRST feature - please comment

    Nicely done! I do agree with Cracker Funk, the music should build up and get stronger there towards the end, starting at around 0:44, to match the heightened drama of the clips (especially since there is no other sound), and then it should climax at the clenched fist, and then disappear, just...

    Another noobie short film - please give feedback

    I like that you didn't overplay his behavior with the game too much, though perhaps exaggerating his enthusiasm would've made the joke even more unexpected. Zooming in on his eye closer and closer somewhat compensates for the lack of sweat, or nail biting. You could also gradually bring up the...

    Getting a copyrighted song

    :yes: It's an excellent book. But on the original topic, trying to get a hit song into a low/no budget indie or student film would be similar to trying to get an A-list actor to star in it. Take Alcove's advice, and see if you can find an indie band whose music you like. Pretty much any...

    Another Composer Squeezes into the Room!

    Howdy folks! My name is Robert Scott, and I am a composer for film (and video games.) I've been doing this for about seven years, and have had work published in titles available on Amazon and iTunes. If you are interested, you can hear some samples of my music on my website here. I am...
