Need Music for Portuguese Skimboard Video

**dEUZ** · 05-31-2006, 06:21 AM

Hey, i have the footage, i've been editing it with some known music from bands who have record contracts, the video will be about 30- 45 minutes.

the problem is, i've made some contacts with the Extreme Channel Portugal, and they said they would be interested in broadcasting the video, the only problem was that if i used some music from bands with record contracts, i would have to pay the record companies, since i'm broke, i can't do that.

So my video has gone from 80% to 10%.

What do i need? simple. I need some good songs, from garage bands, from your grandmother singing, stuff you or your friends made, something with a kick some music you think would look good in a skimboarding video.

So if anyone is interested in having their or their friend's music in my video, just send an email with an .mp3 or .wav and a written text giving me the right to use your music in my video, to: skimportugal@gmail.com

i'll listen to anything, i won't guarantee it will go on the video, but just send me stuff and then i'll make a selection.

p.s. of course in the movie credits your name(or the name of the band) and song will appear.

i wouldn't really worry about using mainstream songs without permission.

Yeah but Extreme Channel isn't going to run it with illegal use of the songs, then they are liable. I suggest you find out whether they will really run it or not, before you scrap it.

how much does it cost to get permission form the record labels?

what some people have done in the past is release a video with whatever music they see fit, and then they cut down a highlight reel with approved music for broadcast.

derek, i need some explaining on that "higlight reel" shit... how does that work.

by the way, thanks for the people who have already sent me some music, but i want more, the more i have to choose from, the better it will go.

deuz I can probably get permission for you to use any Rancid or Lars Frederikson and the Bastards songs if you want...

i just mean that they recut some of their best footage from the movie into a shorter segment, that they edit to music they have approval to use.

thanks, but it's too experimental for what i have in mind, it lacks a good rythm, and a good beat.

good luck with the band anyways.
