A friend of mine "Mega Flare" is a great Chiptune purist. I came to him with the idea of taking it to the next level and making a music video and have posted it elsewhere and most people freak out about it because they don't understand what chiptune is.

Here is a comment I got on the video:

"OK. Firstly kill the horrible music and download some action music scores from Audionetwork - Will only cost you a couple of bucks for a student production license. Then torrent some fight sound effects (punch, bodyhits, sword clashes etc). Tidy the edit - keep the shots waaaay shorter and closer framing - study a Steven Seagal or Chuck Norris fight scene and try and copy the feel of that. Subscribe to freddiew if you don't already! Keep at it!"

I thought I would drop the video off to a group of people who really appreciate Chiptune in hopes of getting help with promotion for my friend, myself, and chiptune all together so at any rate. Please take a look at the Video and if you like it leave a comment. Also, if you have any questions shoot me a message on youtube and I will get back to you ASAP!

ENJOY!

Ugh... the movie was too boring for me to stay and hear the music... the music was too boring to keep me interested in the movie.

sad

I don't know... it just didn't engage me on any level. If the music was accompanied by some sweet Hero Core-esque pixel action, or the movie was accompanied by some sweet dramatic action music, then It'd be cool. In that respect, I kind of agree with bigbadfun.

The vid and the music aren't a good match for each other in my opinion.

Maybe throw some arps into the channel you're using for the kick (on the unused beats) to give it a little more umph. To keep it interesting. The tunes are good. They just need more in the background.


Edit: See, I just listened to the tune while staring at a screenshot of Ninja Gaiden and it was just great.

Just because someone doesn't like your music doesn't necessarily mean they don't get chiptune...

O man. I missed that. Red flag noted.

There might be a paradox or two in that statement somewhere... =\

Does your friend have any other chiptunes out there on the internets?

Nevermind. Found it: http://megaflare.bandcamp.com/

Yeah... tell your friend to learn how to REALLY use the WAVE channel (for more than just kicks), PULSE effects, and TABLES. Three albums of just stock sounds is no good (I think. I just skimmed).

And the melodies and progressions are really good, too. sad
