Music Jotter Commercials #1 and #2 - Soundtrack Recognition Thread

[chopin]

I wanted to post 2 commercials for Music Jotter that @Ken320 and @Monarcheon composed soundtracks for.  These commercials are going to be crucial to my advertising, so I would like to give a little recognition here.  They are going up on YouTube and if anyone is interested in subscribing to my YouTube channel, you may do so here.

Commercial #1 written by Blaire, aka @Monarcheon.  I wanted to commend her for working with me and under some certain guidelines.  I had asked for a "hopeful" sounding piece of music, in which she not only composed beautifully, but also produced the mp3 to match the 2 minute commercial length without any issues.  The transition into the ending was executed perfectly, and the introduction to the orchestral portion of the piece is just perfect.  The commercial is here:

Commercial #2 written by Ken, aka @Ken320.  I gave Ken free reign on this one, since this commercial was shorter and not a primary commercial.  Nevertheless, he shocked me with his skill level and presented to me a really well written Baroque piece that I felt played along nicely with this commercial:

By the way, both commercials received some likes from the community I am building on my Facebook Page which you are free to like as well.  Thanks again to Ken and Blaire, I wouldn't have been able to execute these without your help.  If anyone has any feedback to the commercials and/or the music, feel free to let us know your thoughts.

Congratulations Monarcheon and Ken - and chopin for the commercials. Both pieces are great and perfectly suit the commercials. I imagine it wouldn't be an easy thing to produce music for a definite purpose like that, and timed to a given length. I once did it with a powerpoint presentation and so can relate to the challenge it presents. And I can say that you have succeeded admirably.

Great job, all!!

I was having trouble visualizing a timpani as Michael desired, but you made it all work, Blaire! Great job.

Thank you, luderart : Having some decisions made for you generally makes things easier. I enjoyed writing this because it was one of the quickest and least fussed over things I've done. As for timing, composers have, for generations, counted BPM for timing/tempo, and relied on conductors to make music fit to other media. Now, of course, their is software to help with this.

Thank you so much! ^.^ I was struck by the subtleties in creating a fluidly powerful piece, despite the genre. I was worried how my minimalism would work in the commercial, but thankfully it did okay!

Thanks to everyone else too!

Awesome job you two.  Best of luck on this endeavor.  I wish I had a chance to try the demo out more, I had trouble getting it to work on my laptop (which is on the older side) but definitely looks great!

Really fluid commercials!

The commercials themselves are clear and they work well. 

The music perfectly fits the video and it supports the video in a marvelous way!

Well done!
