I am currently in the process of making a short film. No money invloved doing it in my own time, with my own kit.
I have found a song I would like to use on the soundtrack, by a fairly obscure band
How would I go about geting the artists/record label permission to use it as I would like to show this short piece at small film fesitvals etc and don't want to get in any trouble. As there is no finace involved in this project and it is non profit do you think I will have to pay money to use the track?
Thanks for any advice

are you a student by chance ?
- TransFatty0
coz if so it is alot easier to get free clearance....
especially if it is just for fests etc.

nope not a student, where is the best place to start trying to get permission
- TransFatty0
whats the track ?
- JazX0
you need to ask for permission and get a signed legal agreement from the producers of it. I have about three or four full lengthers that have been used in various small budget videos and movies. :)

The band is called Kiln, kind of expermental electronic style track
JazX what sort of money would you charge for a track to go with a non profit short piece with no finacincal backing that just for the odd film festival?
- JazX0
I wouldn't charge you at all, I would let you use it and you could just credit us. I can forward you some work to your E-mail address ok? Here is one that my buddy and I did, guitar with some Analog Clavia Nord Modular Keyboard: http://www.machnewmedia.com/down…

Would it be cool to email you the track I am thinking of using and see if you have anything similar or better. I really dig the Doppleganger track.
Cheers Jaz

Hey Jaz I tried to mail you the mp3 but it just keeps getting bounced back too big only about 2megs.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
