Hey,

i want to show you my very first video.
Its just a little "making of" of some days in the summer, when i shot lots of the pictures i've posted here: http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114346

It's not that great, but i kinda like it.
I don't have much knowledge of shooting and editing video, so don't be too hard ;)

Music is missing, i just don't have a good source.
Does anyone know a good website for licence free music which could fit?

Video: - Temporarily removed -

Enjoy :)
 
You really don't need to licence music for something like this. Hardly anyone is going to watch it (relatively speaking and most importantly in legal terms) and you're certainly not going to make any money from it.
No one will arrest you or sue you for soundtracking a personal video with a favourite song and I'm pretty sure it comes under fair use even if someone wanted to.
As for the video: nice, stable shooting, but - and I hate to say this - a boring subject. I really liked the pictures that came from that project, but you spend way, way, way too long detailing the process and fetishising your kit. (And yeah, I know, I'm on RFF, everyone fetishises kit...). It sort of sucks the pleasure out of the images for some reason.
Technical points: the sound is not consistently clean and the video would really benefit from smoother transitions. As it is, it the moves from scene to scene are very jarring.
Smooth these issues out and cut the time to 90 seconds/2 mins maximum and you'll have a nice little companion piece to some lovely photography.
 
vimeo now has a music store. the price of the songs vary, and also depend whether they are for personal use or for commercial use.

Well, you are right about this.
I'll cut the movie again with less fetishing the gear.

Yeah, it's kinda boring, thats true :D Something is missing...
Thanks for your advices, i'll try that!
