In the synth thread forum user Sjoewe came up with a really good idea for a challenge, to score a silent movie. So this thread is here as a place for us to carry out that idea, mostly starting it to alleviate clutter from the synth thread. The obvious first step is to pick a silent movie to score. The only two real considerations are that it be in the public domain (used to be 50 years since production until Mickey Mouse turned 50, now I think it's 75 years unless it's owned by Disney) and that it be a relatively short one realer, like 20 or 30 minutes tops. The next thing to do would be for some brave soul to watch it and divide it up into timed incidents. Then we'd call dibs on which sections we wanted to musicify. Then someone would paste the whole loving thing together. So, this is a thread to do these things and answer questions like "how do I get video into my daw?", "what does SMPTE stand for?", "does anyone have a good library of goong samples?", "HALP I CANNOT MAKE A MUSIC WITHOUT A DRUMBEAT IN THE BACKGROUND!" and stuff like that. So get crackin' and start throwing out good potential movies.

Radiapathy posted:The Call of Cthulhu is a silent movie that's only 47 minutes long. Perfect album length. Too long. You're not looking at making, like, 2-5 minute songs, you're looking at making a whole bunch of, like, 20 second to 2 minute long cues. e: also that was made in, like, 2006 Sizone fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Feb 20, 2015 |

Sounds good. Will give everyone an early chance to see how poorly video integrates into their setups. Wanna be a champ, pick a scene and upload an .avi or an .mp4 or something of to a file share?

Anyone got any good slaughterhouse samples? Figured it would be nice to put in the background for the metropolis clip when the workers start entering the factory. A Meatropolis as it were.

Anyone work out what software would work for this? Tried Reaper, the video render doesn't do key frames. Sync would be do-able, but only if I were a much better musicinan.

Finally hit on something workable last night. The crippled consumer version of Soundforge works pretty o.k., shows keyframes with a fine enough grain and displays video in such a way that I can handle syncing audio with it. Trade off is that there's only one stereo track so stems, nondestructive editing and all the other accoutrements of proper multitracking are absent. Working on the metropolis intro warm up using littlebits and an ipad. Should actually be finished with it in anothr two weeks.

Warm up on the intro to Metropolis. Real minimal, littlebits and orphion on the ipad (fed through littlebits). Really wanted to get this out of the way so I could start on something for reals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhSkVgYjGPQ
