No Respite Productions

Progress on the Chavular film is going quite well at the moment. I'm really looking forward to showing the whole thing on the 13th April, even more so now that we've made a house party out of it!

In the meantime I've been adding incidental music throughout the film. These are just short brief musical interludes, often a few synthesised notes that have been created by me to add tension to the overall scene.

I blogged about this a while ago, but ZynAddSubFX is what I've been using... and what a fantastic piece of kit.

All too often it's very easy to take someone elses copyrighted work and just paste it over your footage. Now whilst there are a few occasions on Chavular when you will hear of such things, where possible I've tried very hard to make sure that incidental music is my own work.

It's a nice feeling to be creating something from scratch, adding it in to the film and not having to worry about any legal ramifications, or having the videos blocked when uploading them to YouTube. It's worth exploring this software as... not only is it completely free, but it's very easy to create just a very simple music score that can serve as background music for your feature.

Because I've made extensive use of free to use downloads in the past, the one thing I have decided is that in a couple of weeks time, I'll upload these clips on my website for anyone to use under the creative commons licence.

So hopefully I'll be able to give something to the vast number of film makers, rather than just taking all the time ;)

I'll blog again when those clips are online and available!
