Searching for a soundtrack
SoCal Film Group needs a soundtrack for our trailer, and we're looking to you for help!
What we have is a trailer of approximately two minutes of short clips from all of our films from the past four years. What we don't have is music for the trailer. The trailer was cut to a popular big-media song, which of course we don't have the rights for.
So we're looking for help from our readers-
Send us your songs for our trailer! If selected, your song will be attached to our trailer and shown on our website, myspace page, and at festivals and parties. Thousands of people will hear it, and you'll get a nice credit at the end of the trailer. The trailer will never be sold, and we're poor struggling artists like the rest of ya, so we can't pay, but we can offer at least a bit of exposure and ego!
A couple of details-
1. You MUST own the rights and agree to the uses outlined above. We're not all that formal in terms of agreements and so on, but we do need to know that you own the song (and please, no covers) and are able to agree to its distribution.
2. Genre of song is completely open, but we're going to only be using about 2 minutes of it, so be sure that what you offer fits that range. A strong rhythm would be nice, to fit the flow of the cuts. I suspect instrumentals are better than lyrical, but if you think it works, let us know!
3. The ideal method for letting us know about your song is to post a link in the comments to this blog entry. If for some reason that doesn't work for you, email a file or link to rodney.ramsey@gmail.com
Looking forward to hearing what's out there!

hello!
I like this idea. when would you like the submissions by?
thanks,

Let's go with a deadline of May 20th, that should give everyone enough time to get something together if they have any ideas.
I'm intrested, however it would be very helpful to know the "Big-Media" song it was cut to, or to see the spot without sound in order to know the flow of the cuts! Other than that, sounds cool.
You can see the trailer on our myspace page,

A couple of things to keep in mind, though, any music you submit doesn't have to match the song we used to cut, and the trailer is subject to tweaking, which we do frequently as we finish new works.
In other words, don't try to match what's there now too closely.
hey it's casseus. i did a clip for a band called asobi seksu. they're on my myspace page. they have just released a new album which i heard today. i instantly though it would be ideal for a soundtrack. reach out to them and tell them i sent you. it might be just what you're looking for. i'll likewise forward your info to them.
