Part 3: Music For Animaiton

continuing my 4 part legal music for animation article: (see parts 1 & 2 below)

Starving Musicians:
There are lots of musicians with lots of talent that have not made it in the world of record labels and contracts.

Cut a deal with them, you animate their music video and they score your animation.

Check the Internet for band websites and listen to their MP3 downloads. You can pick the sound you want and work a trade.

If you are in college then head on over to the school of music and meet some people. Put up signs on the board. Even it you are not in college you should be able to put up a sign advertising for musicians. Ask at the office.

Make sure that the musicians sign a release form or if you make it big with a project you might find your handshake friends wanting a bigger piece of the pie.
