Hello guys
I am sorry but my english is not so good ^^ I would now that you use programs to create your own music or do you choose music from famous films like lord of the rings. I see so many films where the sound match to film like in zinwrath the movie. |

if you don't have any pro tools like Jun has... use the ones from different composers. LOTR soundtrack isn't by far the most famous btw ))

I have almost zero music skills so I chop up and use music from:
The 300 soundtrack The Batman Begins soundtrack The Eragon soundtrack (bleargh) The Halo soundtrack The Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 soundtracks The Serenity/Firefly soundtrack The Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack The Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack The Shadow of the Collossus soundtrack And of course, the World of Warcraft soundtracks, including all the hidden music which I get with MyWarcraftStudio Damn, that's a lot of soundtracks. I wish I could make my own music sometimes, but I just don't have those skills. Music just isn't my thing. -------------------- |

Actually, most of amazing soundtracks are written by the same composers:
Hans Zimmer (Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Batman Begins) James Horner (Titanic) Harry Gregson-Williams (Deja Vu, Gone Baby Gone) John Murphy (28 Weeks Later, Sunshine) and few more... Jeremy Soule (Morrowind) Jason Hayes (World of Warcraft) -------------------- |

i use uber pwnage loop making software to make loops and put em together to make a song. (i think its $5000 to buy the last time i checked but it might be only $500). I use Reason from propellerhead software (LINK).

Music is a key element to any movie production IMHO. It sets the mood of the production, and can be used to change moods scene by scene. Its a very powerful part of your machinima movie.
Myself, the first machinima productions that I created were all 'music videos.' It was a great way for me to begin to learn how to synchronize character movements on screen to the music, whic for me, was much easier than trying to sync voice over tracks. And, those productions are fun to show people too - even my 75 year old mother enjoys them! When I am struggling with other, more difficult compositing tasks in a long term project, sometimes I drop back and make another music video just for the fun of it. (I am actually doing that now, and when I am done, I will post it here). However, music can have a downside as well. "Third party" music tracks, such as those you take from "300" or "LOTR," or Metallica's Black Album, etc., are original works of authorship and the composers and performers are entitled to copyright protection of their works and performances. So, far, as best I can tell, the big, bad music industry hasn't asserted its rights over 'non-commercial' distribution (i.e., "Youtube") of machinima works that include Third Party music, which is a good thing, as nothing ruins your day faster than a letter from a law firm asking that you "cease and desist" from using a composer or peformer's music. Still, if you are producing a machinima production for a contest, or festival, make sure to check the rules. I bet you will see that you must be able to vouch that you have the rights to use the music in your machinima production to be eligible to win. If you are using WoW music, you are in luck, as Blizzard will grant you the rights to use their music for machinima contests and festivals. Of course, if you have the talent to write, perform and produce your own music, that always works! Especially if it is good! Go Jun!! :thumbsup: -------------------- "To live without any of those annoying social obligations, the life of an artist is ideal.” -Seijuro Hiko the 13th, from the Rurouni Kenshin Anime series.
