Where do I get "copyright free" music for free? At first I thought that the title for this was "Public Domain Music" but actually public domain music is written music...not mp3s. In fact, the way that music falls into Public Domain is if it defaults from it's original copyright (which only lasts 50years) so the conclusion to that information is that... only really old (+50 yrs) music is public domain.
What we really want is Royalty free music. Or "Creative Commons"- which was a very useful source. I also found a huge library of various music styles/themes and emotions at Free Play Music.

I also found some really nice songs at Hip Hop Domain which I tagged below:

Last month [Philip Bloom] was hired by Director Mike Marriage of Lunarfilm.co.uk to DP a trailer for the big screen to be shown in movie theaters around the world.

NT LIVE is a groundbreaking concept of putting on plays at the National Theatre in London and broadcasting them live to cinemas all over the world via Satellite.

The first play is "Phedre" on the 25th June with Helen Mirren

This was the first time [Philip]'s work would be shown on the big screen and the first time anything he has shot has been transferred to 35mm film.

It was shot on the Sony EX3 with the Letus Ultimate and mostly Zeiss Nikon lenses. Lighting was with a mixture of Kino Flo Diva's and Dedos.

The voice over was done by the great John Shrapnel. The Helicopter shots were done on the F900. All shot 24p.
