Ana asked us to share the following instructions: We used a temp music – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tBam6qXVDg -, which allowed us to edit the film to its pacing, for about: 58 seconds – introduction 50 seconds – development 40 seconds – conclusion. We are looking for the same sort of feeling that the temp music brings to the narrative, but with your personal touch.

A few recommendations

We kindly ask you to submit music you specifically create for this episode. Anything that we deem to be out of context will not be considered.

The submission form also serves as a legally binding license assignment document. Therefore we kindly ask to only submit music you own in its entirety. However we only ask for a non-exclusive license, meaning you will still be able to use the music on other projects.

The file format must be MP3 and the file-size must be under 5MB. In case you come up with a larger file-size please re-compress it using a lower bitrate. To make sure we’ll sync your music correctly please include the sync pop that you can hear on the number “2” of the initial countdown (at timecode 00:59:58:00).

Deadline

  • Great opportunity! Thanks for making it happen.

    11:59 PM BST is a really weird time to specify in January – BST is “British Summer Time” and we’re currently in the middle of winter and on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, also known as UTC).

    GMT equivalent would be 10:59 PM GMT 😉
