Music Videos

Vekoma: For my TI trailer, I combined two songs, both were from the band E.S. Posthumus. The song to start with in their nomal attire is called “Antesia”, and the Super part is called “Pompei”

Thanks TSS I’m gonna look them up immidiatly.
I must say by the ending of that video (you know the text flashing in the screen) I get goosebumps every time. the whole timing is soooo perfectly done it really is grade a++ quality and if I had word to it, it could air in theaters right now.

Thanks Vekoma. I get a lot of that.

And by the way. Whan you are finished viewing my other Music Videos, tell me what you think.

I like them! well edited and good altough sometimes a but unorthodox choice for music.
But I do think you need to give credit to the makers of the music you used, it could give you some trouble legal wise if they decide to go into it. So a quick notation of what music you used with a disclaimer would be fine.

I also found out where I heared the music by E.S. Posthumus before a complete media usage list can be found on wiki
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.S._Posthumus
An now I know where I heared pompeii before (the song had a familiar ring to me) I heared in Boondock Saints, a movie I totally love.

P.S. TSS do you happen to have a MP3 of that mixed up song you used in that fan trailer?

Vekoma: I used to have an MP3 of that song, but I seem to have lost it now. I got a new computer, and well, all of my MV stuff is on my old one. So I am sorry. There is a way that you can rip the audio from a youtube video and convert it into an MP3 if you want it.

And thanks for the little tip about giving credit to the music makers. My vids have been on youtube for about a year now, and I have not had any legal troubles. . .yet. SO I’ll get on it as soon as I can.

Thanks TSS I found a easy way to do it now, so I got the MP3!

Very well then. :wink:

I think Wall-E can be compared to Tarzan.
I think Wall-E would be fit for either the song Part of Your World (the Little Mermaid) or Strangers Like Me (Tarzan) because of his curiousity and how his interest in discovering more.
.

Ususally, I have to watch the movie, then research a little on the characters before I decide which music would best suit them for an MV.

Right, watch the movie first. =)

Hope you’re OK with me putting up a few ideas I have for music videos.

  1. The song “Fabulous” from High School Musical 2 seems to fit Georgette from Oliver and Company.

  2. “Good Company”, the touching song from Oliver and Company, reminded me of “When She Loved Me” from Toy Story 2. I think that “Good Company” fits Jessie’s heartbreaking story, as well as other touching/sad scenes in some films. Maybe not even a music video, just a slideshow.

BTW, anyone who reads this, if you want to, you can use these ideas. I can’t make these, but I’d love to see it. :slight_smile: (Do you need some kind of special program to make music videos? If so, I don’t have it.)

You know bright-dot-dahser, why don’t you try to make a Music video. it is really easy to do and fun as well.

Well do I need to have the DVD. A special DVD-ripping/video-editing program?
And a YouTube account? These are the things that stop me, unfortunately.

Well, you just need clips. You can rip them from a DVD or just download the video clips onto your desktop and use them. You will also need a something called Windows Movie Maker, at least, that is what I use. And yes you do need a youtube account. :unamused:

bright dot-dasher: You should download the AoA DVD ripper - that’s what I did. It says it only allows ten minutes at a time, but there’s a trick when you select multiple chapters. Unfortunately, the clips need to be checked, since it sometimes cuts them off at the wrong point. :stuck_out_tongue:

Unfortunately, I don’t think I have that…and even if I do, I don’t feel right getting a YouTube account.

I think there are other spots to put your videos on bbd!

Hmmm…May I ask: how do I get these programs? Will they need to be purchased or can they be downloaded from somewhere?

And how exactly do I make a music video? Will I have to own a soundtrack for the music?

Well, to answer the first couple of questions, you don’t have to purchase anything, All you have to do is download the software called AoA DVD Ripper.

And making a music video is really simple, but the process can be a little tedious and tiring. ALthough the finished product is definetely worth it. All you do is you bring up Windows Movie Maker. First, you put the song that you want to use on to it. Then, start dragging the clips you want to use on to it, then you cut, edit, expand, do all kinds of stuff that you wish to perfect your music video. After that, safe the entire project as a movie, and presto, you got it.

You can use something from a soundtrack CD, or something on your ipod, or what ever you want.

Making a music video sounds like something I want to do. As for the hard work, I think I can handle that. I usually create powerpoints and play music at the same time, but now I’m ready to move on to music video.
I’ll give it a try. It won’t harm my computer, will it?

Wait a sec…about the Windows Movie Maker, is it part of the AoA DVD ripper, or is it separate?

Making an music video will not harm your computer at all.

And yes, AoA DVD Ripper and Windows Movie Maker are two separate things.

I can’t wait to see what you’ve got. If you want any ideas, check out my profile for references and/or ideas.
