The Intersection of
Video & Opportunity

Electronic musician Moby just handed the DIY-video generation a fantastic Christmas gift.

As every aspiring filmmaker knows, it’s pretty hard to get a decent soundtrack for a low-budget (or no-budget) film. Moby, whose album Play topped the charts in 1999 — and incidentally had songs appearing in just about every commercial you could think of — has decided to license 70 original pieces of music for free to “independent and non-profit filmmakers, film students, and anyone in need of free music for their independent, non-profit film, video, or short.” These days, that includes pretty much anyone with a Sanyo Xacti and a YouTube account. Commercial filmmakers can also use the music, provided that any proceeds are donated to the Humane Society.
