Part I
Ya, so getting legal usage for the music I want for this film is a PITA. I knew this would be a very large brick wall that needed hurdling. However, that doesn't diminish the fact that when you hit that brick wall, even when you knew it was there, the impact still hurts. ouch.
When you're spending your own money to create a project like this and you don't have enough for industry standard licenses and there is no profit model at the end of the rainbow (this project will only lose money) you are kinda SOL. Hrrrrumph!
So I'm pretty much looking for bands with or without a label that are looking for the same thing I am: exposure and to be part of something hopefully much better than mediocre. :)
My first and currently only band 'signed' on with this project is Asthmaboy. These guys are great! Beautiful soft, down-tempo music. I love the acoustic guitar sound with a little bit of electronic accompaniment. Check'm out! "EraseHer", "You got Your Friends" and "Trips to LA" will be great for background music and credits. "Do the Math" is too dark for this project but a gorgeous song nonetheless.
I'm looking for at least 9 more songs from a very broad spectrum of bands. I need some high energy up-tempo rock and electronic for the action montage shots. Other down-tempo music is needed too.
It's a shot in the dark, but if anybody reading this (is anybody really reading this crap?) is or knows of some great bands that might be interested just send me a PM.
Part II
My new DV cam just came in. Holy exciting, batman! Sony HVR-A1U. HD 1080i This will be THE primary camera that all off-bike shots are recorded with. This lil' bugger is the technical heart of this project. Don't fail me lil' guy!
So basically the continual lows regarding Part I have been stayed off by the amphetamine like stimulus of a new, cool electronic gadget thingy. Yay!
