Soundtrack/backing - Car Doco

[R31Nismoid]

Hey all.

Looking for music/track suggestions here to go against a videography that’s in the works.

A mate of mine is using my GTS-R as an example/portfolio content and we are trying to think of some good backing music to go with it.

It’s not the “normal” sort of high/super action video so a thrashing metal backing track isn’t appropriate, nor would pop/top40 stuff.

The video/doco is sort more about the car, passion, ownership and so on with some different camera work to what you would normally see.

Anything instrumental, acoustic. Something rock would work quite well too. Even uplifting/light sorta trance perhaps.

Throw some suggestions out people. I’ll post up the video once it’s completed (2 weeks) as he is looking for some feedback and also some other cars to work on.

the style, or pics of the car will help with the type of music choice.

different styles have different genres as your aware..

[R31Nismoid]

I said in the thread it was my GTSR (HR31)

There will be others/cars etc. So any suggestion might not be used now but perhaps down the track.

Everything is different etc

[SKITTLES]

You need someone uplifting.

Something inspiring.

Something that says, "THIS VIDEO IS f**kING AWESOME"

You need something that's all rise.

My friend.... I give you Bon Jovi.

But srsly, give us an idea of the content. (pics of cars, is it drift vids? drag vids? Panoramic shots of cars where the cameras rotating around it, etc.)

It's documentary style

It'll be kinda like this which is one he did a few weeks ago:

So as i said - not super high action or anything like that.

Yep - that's what i said to him.

He is traditionally a wedding videographer type but is branching out and trying to go for a different feel. He's done mainly old classic/vintage stuff and sorta wants to move up in age/type and get a feel from people in that regard.

So obviously the "norm" with most turbo imports is drags/drift/high speed kinda stuff with the car in action. This is more sorta people that are cars nuts with more about the personal side of it.

Hence music is a bit harder. it's easy to put classic/vintage to a certain genre of music. Imports etc kinda make it a bit trickier.

As a side point I'm trying organise a discount for SAU-Vic should anyone want something like that done for themselves

dubstep

That's almost as helpful as me saying "music"

[Sunkist]

Hows he shooting it? Is it going to be full colour or black and white in parts? Car driving but slowed down, stationary or just normal driving?

Is there going to be comentary, such as information on the car, or just the car and using the music to put the feeling of what its like to drive something your passionate about?

Maybe post a couple of still shots or even a few little clips up to help people see what sort of things your shooting for and the style.

I like what he's done with the light in the previous film with the camera in the car while the driver opens the garage door too. And the slow motion scroll across the front of the car looks sweet as well.

Have you thought about when your driving the car and a song comes on and you just are in the moment. Just cruising and enjoying the feeling of the car and what its like to drive something that your so passionate about?

If you haven't done the filming yet some things I can think of off the top of my head that would be alright are:

Moby - "Flower" or "Flying Foxes

Or for something up beat and a happy tune, iIly - "It can wait"

Stafford Brothers Vs. Hoxton Whores - "Wherever"

or maybe, Drapht - "Jimmy Recard"

Anyway theres some ideas. Just a bit hard without seeing the clip lol, Anyway good luck guys hope that can help you out.

Video link gives you a very good idea of what to expect etc.

It'll be similar no doubt far as I'm aware.

[Birds]

Don't put an electronic/techas beat to a car video/montage, it's been done a million times before...will just make it look like an amateur YouTube video. And it's too shallow to fully portray passion...agree with something rock or grungy...will try and think of something

[ARTZ]

Im just gunna stick this here cause its awesome thinking music while I search for something else

Sorry if i'm going off topic but I spot a R33 GTST at 3.13.

Otherwise, just ignore me and carry on.
