Internet Tip - Royalty Free Music at No Charge Where can you find royalty free music at no charge? Many sites on the web offer royalty free music with a price tag. But here I have compiled a list of sites with royalty free music that is actually free. There are actually quite a few artists that offer their music under the Creative Commons License, it is sometimes just hard to find them through all the sites that ask a lot of money to use one song. Recommendations Some artists allow you to use their music in commercial productions whereas others only allow you to use their music in personal productions. My recommendation is that whether you use an artist's song in a non-commercial way (for a personal web page, a personal slideshow, etc) or in a commercial way (for a TV commercial, film festival, movie, etc.) that you contact the artist and let them know how you are using their music. Royalty Free Music Links Musopen is an online music library of copyright free (public domain) music.
New Link Marking/Creators You have chosen a CC license for your work. Now how do you go about letting the world know? Here are some examples of how to mark your work with the CC license. How to use the CC License Chooser You can easily add a CC license notice to your website by visiting the CC license chooser. At this point, all you have to do is: 1. The specifics of inserting the code depend on how you edit your website. If all of the resources you are publishing on a single website are licensed under the same CC license, it makes sense to paste the HTML code into your website’s template (e.g., in a footer or sidebar area). 2. For example, if you select CC BY in the chooser, the default text you receive in the second line of html code is: The bolded text is descriptive, and you can edit it without affecting the code. Example: Website This is the CC license notice at the bottom of this website. Author? License? Machine-readability? Other good stuff? Example: Blog If you visit Cable's blog, you will see this notice.
Royalty Free Music and Images On Using Music in Video Podcasts It’s important that the music you choose to use in your video productions matches the mood of your project. Some of the K12 Online sessions had funeral dirge music during moments of inspiration and it kind of killed the mood for me. If you want good music you have to move beyond the built in music on your computer.

Carlos Baena I'll go over what my method of working is NOT from a Technical point of view, but more from a Planning point of view. Each area is a big area in animation. I wanted to share my thoughts and things that help me in planning a sequence. I had some of this material from a talk I gave at Siggraph a few years ago, and I felt it would be helpful for those interested in what are the planning elements I've used in shots, to help me dive into a sequence. Some of these materials were: Previous animated shots with the character Storyboards Layout Film Footage Reference Personal Video Reference Posing Reference Thumbnails. The first one is an obvious one. Then, in terms of my shot I started by taking a look at what the storyboards gave me. Then I look at the layout created for the sequence. After that I try to find clips in different movies that could help me in some way to what I'll be animating. Another planning element I used on this sequence were thumbnails. So key images or poses within a shot.
