Music (continued):
Yesterday I shared thoughts on how to obtain music for your animaiton. Today we will look at another option.
Contact the artist:
You aren’t going to have much luck if you are trying to contact Paul McCartney or David Bowie. But some of the mid-level bands are more approachable. If they are on the upper end of the mid-level you will need to approach them by way of their lawyer or manager which can be difficult since they are paid to think in terms of money. Try getting in touch with them directly first.
One of my students procured the rights to use a song from a mid-level Christian rock band in his animation for only $5. What does it cost to ask? You might get lucky.
Start with their contact information on their CD and use the Internet to find their official web site or call their record company. If you talk to them you have more chance than if you talk to their agent.
