I know this has been out there before, but...
Any ideas on where to find some good sound tracks for kiting movies?
I am finding that shooting the video and editing are the easy bits, finding a soundtrack that suits the footage is much harder.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers

The music dictates the style of the "cut", for instance fast tempo music suites fast cuts where as a slower song might have some dissolves thrown in. Really you should be selecting the track before you start cutting and then cut to the beat.

These should work for some freestyle sets.[}:)][}:)]







For something special.......

Hey AB,

I reckon 'Lenny Kravitz, Fly Away' Should go well with a big air clip.

Also, 'Feeder, High' would be a good intro, outro or false bay session.

Hi AB,

I guess mostly would be the tempo you want to reflect from your Video footage.

A kite clip that impressed me was of Ruben Lenten, filmed by Susi Mai.

It was composed of many slo-mo sequences and was edited to Snowy White's Bird in Paradise.

The music is of an older era, but fits excellently with the laid back feel of the Vid.

Don't discount artists such as Pink Floyd etc. and even (shock horror to some) classical pieces.....Its all about best fit. (classical would certainly be different to most contemporary kiting video footage). "Bitter Sweet Symphony" comes to mind, written by Keith Richards & Mick Jagger.

An example would be, slow motion footage, to Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" or " Novacaine for the Soul" by Eels.

if you have footage of the Cab riders (read Geoff & Croc) from Adelaide next weekend maybe you could infill with a chorus from Kings of Leon song "4 kicks"
The lyrics fit, especially the bit about "You with your switchblade posse"

I'll PM you with some other suggestions later.

TOOL sober , always charges me before a kite
