Where did you find your music for your film?

[Blade_Jones]

I'm curious where filmmakers found music for their films and how much some of it cost. Did you license ready made music or did you have someone custom write and record it. If custom made, how did you find them? How much time did they spend creating it and how much did you pay them?

Looking to promote free music

Hi all! I've been looking for places to post my link so folks will
find my free music. If this isn't an appropriate forum for that let
me know. You can find my music here
http://taylorhayward.org/freemusic.htm . I made it royalty free and
it's currently being used in about three-hundred videos on the web.
Enjoy!

I have a lifelong friend who's a musician who requested to do the soundtrack for "Showing Face"-she's doing it for free, and she has a "real" life as well, so it's taking a fair bit of time, but I'm not worried about it-it gets done when it gets done-she's a perfectionist so she wants to get it right.

I joined this site in order to try my hand in making music for film. It has been a great experience. I am currently working with a member on his sci-fi horror thriller, and also picked up this ad for Sony

It is really competitive and there are some super talented musicians out there, but I think I offer something a bit different.

Let's face it, it is super competitive out there, and there are plenty of places to find good music, and plenty of talented people to compose it. At http://rocksuresoundz.com we provide royalty-free music and sound effects, as well as making music custom for clients. We are just one such place in the midst of many, but at least our hat is in the ring so to speak

 

[Matchstick Sync]

We have a ton of fantastic music, and represent award winning composers who can score for you!

Whatever the budget, were here to help : )

I was writing a script for my film (still in planning) "The Haunting of Sue Bancroft" and although it is a Ghost/Horror, i wanted something lite as the main theme... not all Cello drones.

So i composed this for the main theme music... http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUyRDrqL2gI04ciNYJmMyKiQ&feature=player_detailpage&v=1np2u61ZMtk

but will use much darker sound for mood/effect throughout.

In today's market, I'd think you can find musicians looking to break in who would do a film for free. Of course, you may get something that is not as professional, polished, just depends.

I myself am in this boat, looking to take my music composition and get involved in an indie film project, composing background music, musical numbers, songs for soundtrack, etc., and I've been offering free services as a way to build a resume and make connections.

Welcome to IndieTalk Ken!

Also, agreed. There are plenty of hungry indie bands and composers out there that replace royalty-free music any day of the week!
