Making a "60's style Sex-Ed" commercial

[LillieDesigns]

I'm trying to make a "60's style sex-ed"-esque commercial and had a few questions.

I'm using iMovie, and so far everything is black and white and has the aged film look, but I'm looking for suggestions on music and where I could get the music (hopefully for free).

Also, i'm looking for a countdown time reel clip (4, 3, 2, 1) and was wondering where i might find one - also free preferably.

Thanks!

archive.org has a lot of the actual movies and you are allowed to download and use them. You might try just using the real thing!

well, it's not actually a sex-ed commercial, it's a 1 minute commercial about racism...school makes us do some lame stuff so i wanted to at least add a little creativity to the mix.

thanks for the suggestion, i'll check it out

feel free to post any more =]

Try the "Lunch Break" track from the Moody Blues' Days of Future Passed. I always thought it belonged in one of those edjumakashunul films.

Here's your resource

I use www.freeplaymusic.com whenever I am creating a video with my students. Great content broken down into 10, 20 30 60 1:00 and full length increments. Easily searchable. Completely free to use and no copyright restrictions.

Have fun.

That countdown reel actually only goes down to 2, and it's pretty hard to find for free. Try something like YouTube or something.

EDIT: Here's a pretty good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76BboyrEl48

Here's my final result...

You Tube

I filmed it in about 5 minutes and the kids in it wanted to go eat lunch so it was a bit of a rush job. Some of the sound is low in spots, but I worked with what I had - my Mac pretty much dominated every other person's video.

The assignment was to make a short video showing racism so of course everyone went buck wild and had a good time with it.
