Hasn't this already been done as a live performance by some college students? My friend introduced me to it...

Alrighty, looking forward to the film!

If you complete a brickfilm musical, you'll be my hero.

Really? If you are aiming to make a theatre-type "musical" like Grease or The Sound of Music, (both of which are my favorites), then maybe you should choose a song that might be heard on the stage, instead of the radio.

And AC/DC the musical, We Will Rock (queen musical), and ABBA the musical, has songs that aren't supposed to be heard on the radio? Also, wicked (my favourite) has some songs that could almost be played on the radio It can be done.

Posted in your audio thread, but just letting you know, I am really interested in composing music for this. What style do you want? I would probably be best at doing orchestrated songs, but I can change the style a bit if you wanted something different.

Ohh.

Well if you want any originals...

And just saying, you may need rights to have copyrighted music playing.

Okay, here's the deal, I'm starting this again! (For the third time) I kept giving up because I have been having some major problems with composing music. Anyone who is skilled, I could really use your help! I'd just want some random loops that I could work off of.
Thanks! PM me if you can help in any way.

I have tried parodies but I had gotten some negative feedback from some people about it. So I decided to go my own my own way. And I also never thought to try to write lyrics before the music, that seems like something I should try. Lastly I'm going to go see if other people in the audio forum will help me out. Thanks!

What do you mean that you got bad feedback for writing parodies?  And it shouldn't deter you from doing so.  I recorded an entire album of song parodies about Transformers, and it was very rewarding.  And I covered genres from showtunes to oldies to pop to rock.  You should pursue the creative style that you wish and not worry about the reactions of a few.

Now, this may not work for you at all, but here's the secret to how I write songs.  I write lyrics.  I create music indepentently of the lyric writing.  I look at my body of work, and say, "hey!  Those lyrics and that music would work well together!"  Then I marry them into a song.  And that's my secret.  When I wrote the "Holding Our Own" theme song lyrics, they were perfect for a melody I wrote around 1992 or 1993.
