EOSHD Filmic Compositions - New music service launching soon!

[Andrew Reid]

I'm working with two musicians, Hauptman & Friendly in Berlin. They are composing sound tracks for filmmakers which you can license for your own work and avoid the dreaded Copyright Match on Vimeo.

Pricing will start at just $19.99. The cinematography reel I have edited above showcases some of my cinematography along with the score "Chains" written by Ofer Hauptman.

This is in the early stages... I'd love to hear your feedback about what you'd like to get from EOSHD Filmic Compositions and how you'd want to use it. We won't be going for quantity, but quality.Read the full article here

It's not very clear how it's supposed to work. Is it custom compositions or catalog based?

 

How would it compare with other offers such as The Music Bed or mobygratis?

[Inazuma]

These sound great.  I'm guessing $19.99 will be the fee for non-commercial use? What if your personal project ends up making you money? Like if you got a prize through a festival or competition.

I was thinking about that months now, to create a topic here and selling my music to filmmakers and now i see it. Well i didn't have time. Maybe in the near future :)

Great idea Andrew. As always you are ahead of the curve. That's why I keep returning here!

[Guest Ebrahim Saadawi]

Needs a bigger post Andrew, explaining everything to avoid the headache of answering all the little small ones here, and also to give a more serious impression to the campaign for the outsiders ;)

Lovely idea. This will get a lot of attention if the quality of the music is up to the task.

The Music Bed is great music, but for most little companies, $399 just for the music in a video is really too much. A price from 20€ to 50€ for legally/properly made music is a great idea!!!

...which you can license for your own work and avoid the dreaded Copyright Match on Vimeo.

 

In fairness' sake, if one uses a licenced track from the Music Bed, Triple Scoop, etc, the video is not automatically going to get flagged and banned, is it. It's just a risk, because of the dodgy filtering system, which may or may not distribute false flags.

 

Other than that, so far so good, the soundtrack sounds interesting, and so does the project, so far.

 

 

These sound great.  I'm guessing $19.99 will be the fee for non-commercial use? What if your personal project ends up making you money?

 

The prices will start at 20 bucks. The price will be same for both videomakers and pedantic 'what if' people alike.  ;)

If you suspect your piece might make money later, buy a pricier, or another licence for another edit. Surely there's not much point in worrying about every possible scenario beforehand. Especially now, as he said,

 

This is in the early stages...

 

So be patient.  :)

 

Meanwhile, use the policies of the aforementioned royalty free music delivery services as a general guideline. When in doubt, ask the provider for a quote, or buy a pricier license. In this case, the money is going to support independent music makers (and EOSHD:) directly. Support your indie artists, people, be it a musician, filmmaker, graphical artist, app developer or whatever. That's us supporting each other.

Glad that you turned my idea into a real project Andrew :)

[leeys]

Aha, so that last post was sort of a setup for this. Nice idea. Looking forward to it. 

[Andrew Reid]

Yes.

 

And more details are coming in the next post.

Hey Andrew... this sounds PERFECT timing actually.

Not sure if you've watched the Middle East official GH3 launch video I shot last year: 

This year Panasonic Middle East commissioned me to shoot another film for the GH4. I shot it, edited it and the only thing missing now is the music composition.

I thought it'd be a great idea to use your composer to score the music for it. His work sounds great from the video teaser you posted earlier and I'm sure he might be able to do something good with it. What do you think?

Looking froward to your reply

Cheers
