Mark W Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 It's down to how the clips look too. It's not really just a case of finding a 'good' song, it needs to be a good song for the footage you have. Just keep an ear open and try and listen to a bigger mix of music, some new artists, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Remember that the music you choose will determine a lot of the perceived attitude that's expected from the video. If you want to see a great match of music with style the Toxicity video from Trialskings back in the day is a great example. Most people seem to just pick whiny skater rock, leading me to watch many videos with the volume muted. A song that changes tempo/style as it goes can allow you to mix smooth rolling stuff with harsher bigger one off moves or a crash section. If you really want to mess with people's heads try classical music - Winter from Vivaldi's 4 seasons could be made work quite well with a trials video (Depending on the style) I reckon. Less copyright problems with using music from decomposing composers too... Edited May 14, 2010 by psycholist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddbmxdude Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 YMCA! Seriously though, it takes me ages to pick music for a video normally. I usually choose a song by putting all my footage into a playlist and playing music over the top on random. Sometimes you find the right song straight away, other times it takes hours or I never find the 'right' one. The most annoying thing is where you've started editing and you find a better song and have to start all over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Oh, and it should be made illegal to use a song that's been used by someone else before There's millions of songs out there, so there's really no excuse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsMan Dan Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 DJ Shadow normally works well for 24" riding imo. A good mix of ambient/hip-hop. Also some indie/soft rock bands have some decent stuff to ride to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
