Music Vidding....Take Two
Making progess on the SPN MasterCard Vid. It's pretty fun putting this together.
All the clips are in place and now it's coming down to the hardest parts....the final cut and the music. Right now, the rough cut clocks in at 1 min. 11 sec. I might cut it a little more. I also might need to edit in an extra bit for the ammo line. We'll see how it goes.
As for the music, I tried listening to various classic rock songs from the show and a few others I've accumulated. But I came to the conclusion that I need something that's just instrumental, so none of those would work (except "Stranglehold" since it's got a long instrumental section). So I went to tried and true music resource that I found in college: FreePlayMusic. Problem there? Too many choices. LOL! I can't win! But I have narrowed it down to 8 tracks. I keep playing them against the video footage and they could all work. Trust me, I'm trying to keep to the musical sound of the show. I selected tracks that have a classic rock or southern rock sound.
I think the question I'm having with the music is about tone. Do I keep it more lighthearted and fun or a little more serious and somber considering the scene of Dean hugging Sam is in there? Then there's the question of speed? Faster music really doesn't work. So the ones I've chosen are more medium to medium-slow.
Meanwhile, I'm getting another headache. Ah, well....my Dad always told me "You have to suffer for your art." :D
Edit: (3:11 a.m.) I just added in the text and I gotta admit, it nearly looks like the real deal! I've looked at a lot of the past MasterCard ads on YouTube and I'm kind of using the MacGyver one as my guide. I also found that some SPN fans have already beaten me to the punch and made some SPN MasterCard ads. But I still think mine's better. Ha! :D
