I've decided to start work on A Music Video with Maxima Footage. A lot like HondaHookup.com's videos, but with Maximas, Maximas, Maximas. I've downloaded all the source videos I can find. I just wanted to get some opinions on which background music people would find matching? If I'm totally Off base with the selections, give me some ideas on songs.

If you wanna see an example of my work w/ music videos, here's a special sample that no one ever has seen: a 14-second teaser of a music video I recently did. It's a video tribute to 9/11, but I think I did it a bit better than the other ones out there. It's set to "Theme from Armaggedon" by Trevor Rabin. Here: http://www.geocities.com/maarky_mark.../911sample.mpg

BTW, If you're an owner of one of the videos I use, I will contact you before I release it. I won't be stealing anybody's videos, here.

unrelated.. but i think the ATL boys should have used Ludacris - Welcome to Atlanta in their video..

metallica - fuel

I don't think any of the ones you listed are really appropriate... I don't know the first one though. For high speed driving, fast techno or trance is always good. "Bodyrock" by Moby would be good for a mix of still scenes and those at speed. I would skip "Forgot about Dre" cause immediately when I hear that song I think of lowriders, not Maximas...

how bout Dj Kaycee-Escape

Linkin Park: Papercut

totally off subject, but weasel, that is the coolest sig I have ever seen!

Thanks very much. Photoshop + boredom = my sig. I still wish you couldn't see the crappy Maaco color matching in the front bumper, but oh well. You can see it on the car in real life, why not in pictures.

dont feel bad about the paint. Look at mine, its Nissan OEM paint directly from the dealership.

Damn, looks like the same screw-up too... must be a thing with the flex agent. I bet your dealer didn't leave the keys in the door while the car was parked all day on a main street though.

F*ck Maaco.

To keep the thread on topic, the DTMPower guys have used this song but I really like it for driving footage, try Ian Van Dahl - Castles in the Sky.

i'd say something with techno like dance dance revolution, or prodigy. very upbeat.

Darude - Out of Control

Stereodude

DDR - Butterfly (4th mix)

oh wait... no... thats mine

it'll be posted in a few days.

- matt

papercutt - linkin park
superstar - saliva... for some FATF feel

Most of the stuff from Metallica's older albums. There are a lot of fast songs with long guitar riffs and the songs are longer than 3 minutes

clee... wanna host a 56 meg street racin vid?

- mattsy

Ummm ... where'd you get it from? If you didn't take it yourself then I'm not sure I can host it. My webhost is very **** about copyrighted stuff.

Send me a PM.

Most are. I was hosting a site for my friends band and they killed our site because we uploaded a .mp3. The .mp3 was of the kids own band recorded on his own 8 track in his room. They still did not believe us though and cancelled our account.

"Clubbed to Death"

Like the 5th gen commercials.

I think I'm leaning towards "Clubbed to death" Right now, Mostly cause its kinda "Nissan Sanctioned". I'm gonna get started with the editing now. Maybe by tonight or tomorrow I'll have ~20-35 Seconds preview.

chemical brothers - under the influence
propellerheads - bang on
stakka and skynet - decoy
stakka and skynet - altitude

more to come if i think of anything

How about "My Generation" by Limp Bizkit?

"But do you think we can fly...."

"I touch myself" by the divinyls?
"when i think about you i touch myself"

Yeah, i thought it was more unisex than "strokin" by Clarence Carter
Later, Charles

The Crystal Method- Name of the Game
Linkin Park- One Step Closer
Saliva- Click Click Boom

And anything by Cash Money!!!

sorry to be off the subject in your post.. but yes SPRINT your correct.. song was not out when we did our first 2 videos.. BUT look for it in the near future

I hope so man.. when i was watching the video thats all i was thinking about.. how tite this movie would be with that song..

Limp Bizkit - "Livin' It Up" (Life in the fast lane.....)
Metallica - "Fuel" (Great song to use.)
Kenny Loggins - "Danger Zone" (Remember the movie Top Gun??)

if you are going to drive slow?

Big Tymers - Numba 1 stunna

Use something upbeat....please don't use rap (just my preference, I hate rap/hip hop, whatever you want to call it)

I don't think anyone asked you what your preference was..

i like rap thank you.

Why does someone have to ask me what my preference was? He asked what kind of music he should use, and I expressed my opinion. If you don't like that, then oh well. I am over it.

I'm partial to driving with punk music...its so fast paced that if the fast driving doesn't do it enough...then the music makes your heart fly...try:
Blink 182 - Dammit
Bouncing Souls - Kid
Fenix Tx - All My Fault
Green Day - J.A.R.
Offspring - Smash (This is a really good one)
Any Pennywise
Happy music you ask for??? - Weezer - Island In The Sun
oh yea...and any Linkin Park...awesome driving music

later,
adrian

he asked what you like.. he didn't ask what you don't like.. you like alternative or whatever.. say it and keep it moving.. no one asked you to comment on what you don't like.. no one cares what your personal preference is.. we are not riding in your car and we are not comign to your house for parties

I have the right to my opinion, so don't get on me for saying what not to use.

if you learn to answer questions you are asked.. you wouldn't be in such a pickle now would you.. READ then ANSWER..

Why don't you go back and READ MY first post. I stated some songs to use. So you are telling me that you ALWAYS read and actually ANSWER the question? Give me a break.
