More than 100,000 pieces of music are already available at http://www.filmersclub.de for inclusion in private films. Every recording offers customary EMI quality, some performed by large orchestras and many in the World Music category using authentic instruments from the relevant countries. “Only in this way can we provide the necessary authenticity for scoring travel videos, for example,” explains Christian Reinecke, General Manager of EMI Production Music.
Filmersclub offers extensively tagged music for every subject, enabling any amateur filmmaker to give a video significant impact. Digital video cameras, powerful home computers and sophisticated, easy-to-use editing software now make creating professional-looking videos straightforward. Integrating music from EMI Filmersclub is equally uncomplicated. The pieces are available in the widely used MP3 format, and the high bitrate of 320 kilobits per second meets demanding quality requirements.
Whether for a private wedding film, holiday video or children’s birthday party, the platform offers an appropriate soundtrack for every occasion. As with Ennio Morricone, the music helps give a film the right impact and atmosphere—with support from GEMA. Alongside private screening, the rights package includes duplication of up to 20 copies of a film, although these too are restricted to private use and must be distributed free of charge.
