Video Project!

[Braxat]

Well, im down into a video project that is actually a sequel of videos on "sad" subjects" im using some of what i write for the presentations and pictures im getting off the web, now, the tricky thing is, i dont really know much good "sad" music, wondering if you guys could help me, i was looking for something on a slow tempo and preferably without lyrics though that does not matter much, also, the songs cant be that long because the lyrics or the project is not long ( about 5-6 mins per clip ) any ideaS?

"Brother's in Arms" by Dire Straits. It has an ominous sound to it, although there are lyrics. The start of it has some really great "sad" mood music. I've used it in video before.

[Dr. Ellwood]

There are some good tracks off the old series called "Victory at Sea" if you can get your hads on them. They are full orchestra pieces and where a soundtrack for the whole series.

[Pappy P]

Color My World by Chicago is sorta sad.

[AeroG33k]

Philip Glass' Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack has many dark and eerie parts to it, specific tracks are "Prophecies" (this composition gives me goose bumps, especially at the conclusion of the movie koyaanisqatsi, which is excellent. It has a plot using entirely photography.) Others from the same soundtrack are "Organic" and "Pruit Igore", which gets a bit more lively and violent in the middle, which can be a good effect for what you're doing. It's a great dramatic album all in all.

 

Other than that, definitely check out "Ruska" by apocalytica from their self-titled "Apocalyptica" album. They're a heavy metal (mostly instrumental) band using electric cello's! Ruska however, is less metal and more slow, classical sad melodic stuff. Very dark. Others that by them that may qualify are "Romance" and "Beyond time" from their album "Cult".

 

If you can tolerate vocals, "Mad World" is a classic, I have a nice cover by the "Wise Guys", a german acapella band, that makes you cry.

[Braxat]

hmm this one im working on is not very long, ill put a link to the unfinished video in a sec

[Braxat]

on mad world, yep i knew that one and actually i used if for the first part of the project, here it is if you wanna see it.

 

[Braxat]

The one im working on right now ..

[Braxat]

/hand to face,

 

i cant believe i didnt think of apocalyptica before, having all their cd's and all

[LPCustom]

Pink Floyd is a good source for some pretty "haunting" music clips. The intro to the song "Sorrow" is a pretty good one for a somber piece.

 

The "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals" albums have some pretty good songs to clip up, too.

 

"Dark Side Of The Moon" also has some good pieces you can clip from.

[Braxat]

Ok, i narrowed down to this :

 

 

your thoughts?

[stamplicker]

BraXat.. Umm is there something you'd like to share with us.. is everything..

 

Just kidding.. good stuff =).. Lot's of good suggestions on music clips.. I'll I could picture for it was Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the machine"

 

Edit: I tried it with this clip "

" and it worked nicley for the first guitar strum was when the screen shatters.. but you could clip it down to play then eding after that part.. or after the first line.. welcome to the machine, which is when it shows the one lady with the tat on her face =)

G

[Braxat]

Im Not entierly sure of where that picture is from G... i can upload it here if you want it but it looks like l'eglise de notre dame .. i think.

[The Big G]

Braxat

No probs mate it just stikes me as somewhere I have photographed in the past so Notre Dame is a possible one but I feel it may be somewhere else.

It stopped me in my tracks whilst watching the clip, but good stuff keep at it.

If you can use country music, try George Jones' "These Days I Barely Get By". If you don't want ot go oout back and slit your throat after hearing it, you have the sensitivity of an armadillo.

My CD (check my signature) seems exactly what you need.

[Xplorer]

Inquisition Symphony by Apocalyptica

 

Apocalyptica do alot of cover tunes of metal on chellos (sp?). This particular song is an instrumental by Sepultura, and it's quite dark/sad sounding with a little anger thrown in.

[Big Red 67]

One l, or L.

[Big Red 67]

You need someone to speak the parts. Send me a "lyric" sheet!

[Braxat]
