Horror Music for Video Production

Happy Halloween 2012! Katya here with this mix just in from the Free Music Archive:

Music to Video has assembled a 13-track mix that will send shivers down your spine, make all the ghouls dance, and get grandma to climb out of her grave, just to tell you to turn down the volume.

All the tracks in this mix are licensed for reuse, such as in music accompaniment for your video productions. You might also use these tracks as you prepare your entries for the FMA video contest with the Prelinger Archives. The FMA suggests footage of a Halloween Party or Experiments in the Revival of Organisms? Deadline for this contest is creepily close: November 4th.

You can enter the contest and win prizes and prestige! I've played around making one with snippets from the social guidance films by Coronet Instructional Films. Those 1950s classroom films are a hoot!

Walking On Eggshells

So good! This is a stimulating 24 minute documentary in which artists from writers to musicians to painters discuss modern culture and "appropriation, creative influence, re-use and intellectual property in the remix age." (Jonathon Letham talking about culture references in Bugs Bunny cartoons will hit home with several generations.) The artists have fascinating points of view.

The filmmakers Jacob Albert, Ryan Beauchamp, and Brendan Schlagel created this film as their final project for the seminar "Intellectual Property in the Digital Age" at Yale University.

Available on YouTube in 3 parts. All worthwhile.
