Making a virtual music video online.. Like sims, for free?

Well, you know how some people will have those sims music videos and put them on youtube?
I was just wondering if there was a site like that where it was designed for Making Videos and such, but like virtual ones, because that looks like it would be a lot of fun and I am majorly into that kind of stuff. What I have been settling with currently is using music videos by other arists and mashing them all together to create a plot. But sometimes they don’t always have the plot out there that i’m looking for.

Why don’t you just go to school and study to be a director? That’s exactly what they do. Do it for real people, maybe one day even make your own music videos. Something that pays well and is usually always in demand.

Sonic Producer: The First Social Music Beat Maker?

The buzzword of the past five years on the internet has no doubt been ‘social media’. All over the world, websites are popping up that allow human interaction and collaboration on a scale never before seen. In a matter of a few years, sites like facebook were getting 300,000,000 (read three hundred million) members, more than the entire population of the United States. Then came Twitter, showing the most explosive growth any social media site had ever seen.

Behind the scenes though, social media sites were appearing for almost anything you can think of. Last.fm reovlutionized the way we share our music with each other. One that has caught my interest in the past few months is a website called Sonic Producer.

The initial draw of this website is the fact that they offer you a fully functional music beat maker right in your browser that competes effortlessly with expensive desktop software: mp3 exporting, a huge beat and sound library to get you started, 16 tracks, 8 dj pads, instrument support, the list goes on. However, when you dig a little deeper you realize that they are sitting on a gold mine.

Everybody in the community pays $29 for membership to the site. Considering the music beat maker is worth twice that on its own, you start to realize the incredible value they offer. Dig a little deeper and you’ll realize that Sonic Producer is the webs first social music production site.

See, their goal is to not just let you make your own beats: they want to improve your skills, help you reach artists to sell your beats to, give you free video lessons, the list
goes on. Most companies that sell music beat makers will not offer a refund either. This is especially frustrating after you spend $200 on a program that you can’t figure out for the life of you. Well, Sonic Producer cuts out the technical non-sense that makes those programs impossible for the average person to use.

They make the program extremely user friendly. These “other” companies don’t offer refunds because they know that most people are going to get frustrated and give up right away: basically they know they’re not offering any value. Sonic Producer will give you every dollar back if you’re not completely satisfied. Why? Because when your product has as much value as theirs does, it practically sells itself and has very few if
any refunds.

In the future there may be a site that outclasses Sonic Producer as far as bang for your buck, but I have yet to see one. If you’re in the market for a music beat maker, and like me can’t afford to not get the absolute best value out of every dollar you spend, then I’d highly suggest a membership at the Sonic Producer site.

I’ve provided you with links to an expert website that will give you more details on the product. Remember, if for some reason you’re not satisfied, they’ll give you every single dollar back. Until next time, happy music beat making.

Low Budget Music Video Production

Decide on a budget.
How much can you afford, really afford, to spend? At the least, even with borrowed equipment, a free location, and your brother doing post production, you will probably blow at the least a few hundred making this budget music video production. High end videos, like those on MTV, run into movie-budget type numbers, so if you don’t have the dough to make the next Thriller, then go for a style that fits your music and where you are at right now.
Decide on a style.
Even though your music video budget is tight, bands like OK Go have proved that even cheesy choreography and treadmills can become a major hit! Find a style that will appeal to your audience. Think about things like location, costuming, color palette, props, choreography, lip-syncing, optional story lines, scenery, etc. Will it fit into a genre (sci-fi, historical, club scene, etc.) It is up to you whether you want to storyboard the whole video or improvise. Most likely you are not going to be working with professional actors, so ad lib is probably the way to go.
Location, Location, Location.
There are thousands of free locations around you, from churches, to parks, to universities, to warehouses, and the woods. Find a location that fits with the style of your video and then find out whether or not you need permission to film there. Just don’t forget things like whether you will need lighting and electricity.
Get The Gear.
You can borrow or rent most professional level gear. If you want to go for that “amateur look”, which is perfect for platforms like YouTube, then you can buy consumer video cameras and equipment. Don’t worry about sound. Sound will be dubbed in later in post production. Think about aspect ratio, lighting, graininess, if you are shooting at night, weather, and other conditions that will affect what you will need for the shoot.
Use a DSLR:
Even when compared to shooting with a professional broadcast camera, filming video with a DSLR camera provides an unexpected freedom that can be fun and exciting while giving your budget music video production a high end feel. DSLRs are capable of shooting professional-looking video, and they’re cheaper and more accessible than your average professional-level camera. One nice thing about using a DSLR for video is that you can pull the camera out of the box and start shooting right away. When budgeting for your DSLR, be aware that you’ll need to set aside some cash for accessories if you want to get a serious result.
Playback
Whether the artist brings a stereo, iPod with speakers, or just blare it from the car, you are going to need the song to playback to make lip syncing as painless as possible. Once you start taping, take multiple takes, even if you like the first take. The first few takes will be the freshest, but you may need the third or fifteenth take to cut in where the bass guitarist was picking his nose.
Dubbing fun.
Dubbing is a pain, but most music videos show at least a few sections where the band is actually “singing” to the tune. Watch several of your favorite music videos and try to see how often the video is spliced up. Also, frames are often lost during transfer; so don’t be surprised if suddenly the band is out of sync after thirty seconds of being right on.
Post production.
Post production is the art of taking hours of video footage and splicing it down to three minutes of perfection. While pros use Avid, Final Cut Pro, Premier, or other editing software, basic software like i-Movie or Windows Movie Maker can be used for post if that is all you have available.
Finishing touches.
Play the rough to a “test” audience and honestly listen back to their feedback. Can the colors be played with a little bit more? What about lighting? Is the lip sync convincing? Were too many effects used (often a sign of amateur videos which focus on the coolness of effects instead of the quality of the whole). Does it tell a story? Does the video represent you?
Promotion.
We always get asked about promotion and maybe I’ll write an article in the future. For now; what is the quality of the DVD album cover? Who is pressing the DVDs or are you launching online only? Where are you planning to distribute? Can you have a launch party for the first music video? Are you selling the video separately?
Making your first video is a fun and amazing experience, and the more videos you make, the better you will become at capturing your style in a few short minutes. Remember even though it’s a low budget music video production, a good idea is free!
