Music for film
Stock music fits every film a little and no film exactly. Original music is written for your cut: it swells where the story turns, drops out where the dialogue needs room, and nobody else can licence the same track. TH6 writes music for short film, documentary, brand film and online video.
Why original music
- It follows the edit: hits land on the cut, and the music breathes where the picture does.
- It is yours: no other film, ad or channel uses the same track.
- No stock surprises: every sound is original or licensed for commercial use, so there are no claims from a library on a track a hundred other videos also used.
- It gives the film its own voice, which is what people remember when they talk about it.
Writing to picture
The work starts from your edit, even a rough one. Together we mark where music is needed, what each moment should do and where silence works better. The music is then written and timed to the picture, so a change in the edit is a change in the music, not a fight with a track that was never made for it.
What you get
The music as high-quality WAV files, timed to your final cut. If your editor or sound mixer needs to adjust levels, stems (separate layers such as drums, bass and melody) can be delivered too; that is agreed in the proposal. You also get the rights in writing.
Rights and where the film runs
The licence follows where the film will be shown: online, festivals, cinema, broadcast, or all of them. A full buy-out is also possible. It is settled in the proposal, before the work starts, so distribution never gets stuck on the music.
What film music costs
Always agreed per project. The price depends on the amount of music, how closely it has to follow the picture, the number of revision rounds, the deadline and the rights. After you share the film or a description of it, you get one fixed price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does music for a film cost?
It depends on the minutes of music, the rights and the deadline. You get one fixed price per project after sharing the film or a brief.
Can you work from a rough cut?
Yes. Starting from a rough cut is common; the music is finalised on the locked edit.
Do I get stems?
Stems can be delivered for your editor or mixer. Whether you need them is agreed in the proposal.
Can the film go to festivals and online?
Yes, if the licence covers it. Where the film will run is part of the proposal, and a full buy-out is possible.
