stamper Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Hello, 3 years ago, I released my first animated short on the internet : The audience liked it, and the movie won several prizes in festivals accross Europe. Now I'm preparing a sequel. Nearly half of it is already completed. I am lucky to work with wonderful actors, sound engineer, composer, set designers, CGI specialists... the movie is going to be way bigger than its predecessor ! What we need now, are some musicians... and as an ocremix freak myself, I thought I should ask here ! I know that many talented musicians are coming here regularly. I'd like to put a very special song into the soundtrack from the movie. Something that would sound like 60's / 70's music (let's say "Beatles-like"). The lead composer of the score has already written a nice melody that *could* be used as the tune for the song, and we'd like to collaborate with a band that would write lyrics (in English), perform and record this song. In a pure 60's/70's fashion. It doesn't have to be a band, we can even imagine individual people around the world working together to make the song. If you're interested and want more information, contact me here : kidicarus83@yahoo.fr Thank you ! Maxime Quote
Charlie's Angel Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 How do you plan the compensate the artist or artists? Quote
stamper Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 @Darkesword, Thanks, I didn't see there was a "Recruit & Collaborate" section ! @Charlie's Angel This depends on what people need. If they want to buy new material or need to travel a bit for their recording I can send them some money (though it's a non-profit project and I don't plan to offer 10.000$ to people !) Their name will of course appear in the credits, and depending on how well the movie works in festivals and on internet, it's a good way to get some fame. And basically, I think working on an interesting and rather different kind of collaborative project is always a nice experience ! Quote
Gario Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Ahaha, funny short. Sorry that I can't help you out, but I hope you find someone here that will support you. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Enjoyed the film a surprising amount actually, really well voice-acted, animated and the music was pretty sweet. Can't help you out either, just wanted to say, it was good stuff!!! Quote
WillRock Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Wow, that was a really good film If I wasn't too busy with uni I'd have expressed interest in doing this... Curse you uni!!!!! *shakes fist* Quote
stamper Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks for your comments ! You got to know this upcoming project is done in a much more professional way : we have a bigger team, a deeper screenplay, a professional recording studio helps us, we have a "go" from Lego themselves (!), the movie should be 25 minutes long, shot in full-HD... That's why I'm looking for help here, I really want the soundtrack to be great ! I'm sure there are some artists here who can do an awesome job with that song. Quote
SonicThHedgog Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 i would help but my pc main pc is under repair and my pc crips fast, the only thing i can do now is surround sound panning, but not until i fix my cards This is a amazing animation, nice clean great voice acting. Quote
stamper Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 There's no hurry in the song project. I forgot to mention the movie is premiering only in late June 2011 in a Lego Exhibition. If people are interested in the project, they can come and help later during the production process ! Quote
Andy_Frank Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I just want to say "Wow! That's really good!" I thought the construction worker guy was really funny and I think the script was very clever. The music was great too and I can't believe how much work all that animating must have been. Congrats on your success and I'll definitely consider helping you, as I'm in a band myself. Is the melody for the song the main theme for the first film? If so that'll be no problem because it's a super easy, catchy and folkey melody. Quote
stamper Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 @Andy Frank You loved the first movie ? Great ! I think you will enjoy the sequel a lot too ! I'm filming everyday, it sometimes feels like it will never end... About the song : it won't be based on the first movie main theme. It's another melody, but I think it is a really catchy tune too. We will keep the original movie theme as part of the soundtrack, but there will be a lot of new stuff included too. You'd be interested in helping ? It sounds good to me. I listened to your video game cues on soundcloud.com. I think you're composing/arranging very good cues, but I'd like to listen to what your band and yourself are able to produce (writing/performing/recording-wise). Please contact me (kidicarus83@yahoo.fr), It would be good to have further talks with you ! Thanx Maxime Quote
