It's TheFly from Reel FX

He's baaaaaaaaack!! (Buck the Bunny that is) ... well, GameStop ... well, you get the point ... I lose track of how many commercials this makes - the clients and customers love the work and you guys are a big part of that - so a BIG thanks.

Scenario:
This time Buck is a small western town minding his own business when he come across a buffalo ... the duel of epic proportions ensues.  Buck draws a gun, buffalo matches.  Buck draws a second gun and the buffalo matches.  Buck the uses his secret weapon - a big-ass cannon that comes out from behind his back and over his head.  The buffalo can not match the fire-power and sheepishly walks away.

Musical direction:
The music direction is simple but fun ... spaghetti western.   

Reference:
The slower spaghetti western tunes of Ennio Morricone.

Deadline:
I will need all your music ideas back by 8 a.m. CST Tuesday, Jan. 31.           

Payment:
... and licensing terms will be the same as previous work.  1 year buyout for TV, Radio and Web - $500.  As a number of artists have found out, if we revise the spots in the future and re-air, you will be paid the full amount again – a gift that could keep on giving.  In all seriousness, I have paid a guy $2000 total for a track of music - the same track.   

Please join in ... let me know if you have any questions.  I will be on here a few times a day to check for questions.

Thanks

My track named Excision has a bit of a Mariachi flavor to it at a few points. It's probably higher energy than you are looking for but might still be worth checking out since I haven't seen anyone jumping on this yet. Here's a link;

Another one of mine that has some similar kinds of melody but fits the bill a little better as far as tempo goes can be found here;

Hope you find what you need!

***Edit: It's worth mentioning that I have the flexibility to change the arrangements of either of these to meet your needs.

Doing a Morricone type piece in 8-bit would be pretty difficult, but I'll try to make something!

Hey guys - It is really good to be back around!  These jobs are a blast and one of the best parts is hearing what the musicians throw into the mix.  I look forward to hearing the ear candy.  Some familiar names in here - lovin' it!

Hi!  I would love to participate!  I wrote a song that is called, "Bit Kicker."  I was influenced by old western cowboy movies I was watching at the time big_smile  I hope you enjoy it and consider using it! 

The bridge also starts at 2:02 minutes.

Here are my three submissions (written especially for this).
The first two are written with the SNES sound in mind. The first is more video-game sounding, the second is a bit more serious.
The third has a more Game Boy-ish sound.

I can adapt it in any way you require (shorter/longer/piece bits together/etc).

You can contact me at this e-mail if you need me - [email protected].

Do you have a rundown of when the events in the video happen?  Also, what is the run time?  Or doesn't it matter if they match up perfectly?

The length of the spot is :30.  As far as the pacing ... it goes a little slow at first but picks up ... just use the reference as a guide and let your imagination run wild.  Have fun with it.

Hello TheFly!

Today I composed a piece of music specifically for this project. It includes themes for the setup, punchline, and release. Below are two versions: the original longer version and the shorter commercial edit which may be better suited for editing purposes. I can provide both files as high quality .wavs if preferred as well.

Original: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12252878/quick% … ong%29.mp3
Commercial Edit: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12252878/quick% … dit%29.mp3

Cheers!

I, too, decided to have a go at this. I put a short piece together just for this commercial -- it's got that slow, epic Western feel. Part of the song loops once in the file, which is about 53 seconds, but the main idea fits pretty well into 30 seconds:

Thanks, hope you dig it! Please let me know if you need anything else.

Took a shot at this, here's two attempts;

Albatross Valley, a dramatic western tune.

Sparrowroad Showdown, a Spanish-tinged showdown tune, which picks up at about the :40 mark in case you need a quicker rendition.
