When we looked at this topic about eight years ago, we thought the Magnatune system was the way to go (disclaimer: we release our recordings on Magnatune). On Magnatune, you keep all the rights to your "CD" as we used to call an album, but they distribute it. You get half, they get half. Half is way more than I got from the big labels, and Magnatune is a great label. We still OWN all of our tracks. AS a filmmaker, you could (and still can) license the tracks for really dirt cheap, and, again, the creator got a dollar or so, depending. We figured, no one is going to balk at a few dollars for a sound track that would cost thousands to produce. We figured wrong. People did use the license feature, but not in the waves that we expected.

Well, as it turns out, people have this "must be free" attitude, which in a way is a driving force of the internet--no one wanted to pay the artists, even though they themselves are artists. So rather than rant about how ridiculous this is, we are starting a different model, and we can see that others are doing the same thing.

The new model is to just give it all away, free, and raise the money to produce it through Kickstarter or something similar. You can see our Kickstarter project here. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/301451197/bach-brandenburg-concertos-the-great-works-project

Once it is done, ppl can use the soundtrack. It may not be what you are looking for, but it will be free :) You'll notice that the music is old, like really old. That way, it is solidly in the public domain. Composers of course can create new scores and using for example Creative Commons we can record newer music as well. We have some new music projects in the works right now.

Help appreciated and sorry if this has already been answered here, haven't had the time to browse.

Cheers Chris

Here is my results with fire strike, sky diver, cloud gate, and Ice storm. http://imgur.com/SugphjG

We´ve just released our 2012-short to public viewing on youtube and I´d like to invite you to take a look!

It´s a film mainly shot on GH1 which eventually became hacked. Since we shot additional footage up until 2012 there´s also GH2 material in it. It was a long journey and today we´d of course make a few things better and/or differently.

Nonetheless we´re very happy with the result. But see for yourselves!

A few facts:

• shot on GH1(3), GH2
• audio recording via H4N + Rode NTG-2
• mainly Minolta MD lenses, Oly 12-60mm F2,8 and one Vivitar 135mm
• original score with some stock elements here and there
• post production on Adobe CS(X), color via Colorista I & II

As for language: A Persian woman wrote on facebook "it´s so strong you don´t even need to understand the words". Maybe it´s better when you don´t speak German?! :D Anyways, there´s not much dialogue...
