Resource: Vid song consultant for (no-cost!) hire

[hopelesse]

Have you been turning a vid idea over and over in your head, but you can't find the perfect song that'll drive your idea home? Apparently this is a problem! And I'm here to help.

My music library is eclectic and vast. Are you looking for a driving beat with harsh, inhuman sounds? A liquid, summer-warm song under 3 minutes long? Something that makes you feel dizzy and hungry with a jazzy overtone? Give me an idea of what you're looking for -- an emotion, a sound, a vibe, a song that's almost what you want but isn't quite doing it for you, whatever you've got -- and I'll spitball song ideas with you! 

For an idea of the kinds of things I might recommend, check out my listening now playlist on spotify.

Talking music is one of my very favorite things. Lets do it together.

Nice! Thank you.

[hopelesse]

Anything I can do to pitch in for the vidder community! Also wow, hi, I love your vids!!

[amnisias]

You might live to regret this! :) Not finding a song that really works for what I want to vid is a problem I invented.

[hopelesse]

Bring it on! Me and my music library got this >:3

[cupidsbow]

:)

I'm so happy you're doing this.

[hopelesse]

I had so much fun talking music with you!! It legit didn't occur to me until after I'd talked to you and purplefringe that not having a song was a problem for vidders! I always assumed the song had to come first but apparently! No! Wild!!

[purplefringe]

As soon as I'm done with my current vidding project I am going to talk to you about this! I have a thing I've wanted to make for YEARS and have no song :(

[hopelesse]

Ehehehehe my entire goal is to be a facilitator >:3

Thanks for gently bullying me into this :D

[sanguinity]

Hurrah! \o/ A service much-needed!

[hopelesse]

:D :D I'm so glad I decided to let purplefringe gently bully me into offering this! I legit didn't know how many people want to brainstorm song inspo!

[sanguinity]

omg, the quest for a song! Sometimes the song suggests the vid, but not nearly as often as I would like.

I'm going to bookmark this post for possible future use!

[hopelesse]

!! Please do! Your iron man vid was the first time I'd ever seen anyone use a comic book as the basis for a vid :O

[d_generate_girl]

I would be fascinated to try this. I've got a vid structure and narrative, but no song (canon used the *really good one* I would have gone with). Is there a good way to chat/email/message?

[hopelesse]

!! Absolutely, yes! Feel free to shoot me a message on DW. Let's chat abt it :3

[heresluck]

What an awesome thing for you to offer. ♥

[hopelesse]

😊

Oh, this is fantastic! :D I don't have anything I'm looking for currently but I'll bear this in mind to remind people of when Festivids season rolls around, if that's ok?

[hopelesse]

Yes, please do!! Me and my music library aren't going anywhere

[cosmic_llin]

Hello! As Festivids assignments have just gone out, I was planning to share this on the FV twitter, if you're still up for it?

[hopelesse]

Oh my gosh, yes, please do!! I look forward to FV every year :3

[cosmic_llin]

Aaah yay! :D Have tweeted it out, and I may well be coming to you myself at some point if I get stuck!

[hopelesse]

Ehehehe, excellent news >:3

[niyalune]

Oh that's so nice of you! Definitely keeping this in mind for later, and I'm totally checking out your playlist.

Hello! If this offer is still open, I'd love to brainstorm with you about a song to use for a Holmes/Watson vid I'm hoping to get started. Should I send you a private message through Dreamwidth to talk further? Or if you prefer, we could use the instant messaging feature over on tumblr?

[hopelesse]

Hi!! The offer is very much still open. Definitely feel free to send me a message on DW! I'm not on tumblr much these days, so DW is the most reliable bet. I love me some Holmes/Watson; I'm already excited :3
