Hello, my films use music stolen from real bands. As we don't sell them, or post them on the net, we're OK to use them. However if we WANT to start selling our movie, I think we need a license to use the music.
How do you get these and how much would it cost? _________________ Check out my Movie Review Site: http://www.dtmc.tk - For the best in Kool, Krap and Kickass films from around the world!

Yeah, I imagine unless the band is local or on a super small lable, you'd be paying through the nose. You can always try and make your own music. What, with the internet these days, you don't need to know jack to make some interesting techno song! Check out "Acid Music/Acid Pro" and their library of free samples. Insanely easy stuff. I mean, if you want to go the free and perhaps somewhat crappy way (depending on your talent and ear), I would imagine that could be an alternative... Maybe
I've always thought that if I made a small experimental film, I would try and create my own score. Probably all percussion. Banging metal pots and cans to create some weird industrial noise, Tetsuo: The Iron Man style. That's just my insanity though _________________ Josh Samford

Well look what HGL did in blood feast. That was nothing but a kettle drum and one other instrument. It was simple, but it was perfect for the movie. Fortunately, I've been blessed with enough musical talent that if it came to doing my own score, I could use my synthesizers and a sequencer software on my computer to do what I needed to do. _________________ Duane L.
