Royalty Free Music Needed for Cartoon Series Intro

  • Status: Closed
  • Prize: $200
  • Entries Received: 19
  • Winner: simoncushman

Contest Brief

1. TO SUBMIT AN ENTRY, YOU MUST BE THE CREATOR OF THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to know that we have the RIGHT to use your file.
2. The Entry MUST be uploaded to youtube with attached video so my animators can judge.
3. You can submit an older work you made, but you are 1000000 more likely to win if you create it to specifically match the music of our video.



WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
-------------------------------------------
We have an amazing introduction to a cartoon series where a ninja sneaks into a building pass many people: However, due to copyright issue, we cannot use the music : ( The song is from Ocean's 12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUPQfzAyVeI


The song needs to be royalty free and not stolen from any other work. My animator will choose the best music.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
------------------------------------------------------------
* Music that matches up with the animation. At moments that are more intense, it should sound more intense. As in, "What if someone turns around and sees him?" At some moments, the music should be fast, like a beehive. But it should not be intense throughout: at some moments, the sound should be fun and playful.
* For example, it could start badass/playful but then when ninja starts to sneak, it should be more serious.
*************
BIG NOTE: We don't need any sound effect to be added (water splashes, tree branch cracks, smoke bombs explosions etc.) However, the music should go with the motion.


--------------------------------------------------------------
RULES:
Combine the attached file and submit an unlisted youtube video that has a music. Because of the sheer quantity of entries so far, I will accept your most recent entry. I cannot bother my animator with sorting through 10+ entries for one person. I will be SLOW in feedback: I am in PST while my animator lives in Cyprus. And again, I will only distract him from his grand masterpiece when I feel I have a file worth it.

Employer Feedback

“In a highly competitive contest, Simon forged the BEST music that fits our animation like a glove. In particular, out of 4 top entries, my animator refers to his music as the \"Mr. Fantastic\" of the Fantastic Four. His music is simply brilliant and I would LOVE for him to enter our next music competition!!!!”

    A message from the master artist Stanislav: "OK. After a very tough judgment the final four, or I probably should say “The Fantastic Four” are:

    Simon Cushman
    Wild Draft Studio
    Fine Tune Sound
    Eugenia Kurteva

    Unfortunately Mr. “Fantastic” can be only one and I choose this one to be SIMON CUSHMAN J." You guys all kicked butt. I encourage you all to try again when we do the Harvard Intro. Some really powerful entries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey guys, Stanislav made an example of a video that matches the music with the video. This is crucial as the music needs to respond to the animation that is happening. It should not be as serious as this link (though it should have a hint of this type of seriousness). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgXI4M9Xwtw&feature=youtu.be

      I took a listen. You are very skilled, but I do not think it will win, as the contestants who entered timed the work very closely to the animation.

      But out of consideration, I will merge it with a video and add it to the playlist.
