Expand commentGreat post, Timothy. I had an experience recently where a friend (who is not a film maker), making a video for a kickstarter campaign, wanted to use royalty-free music off some site because of costs. The track he picked kind of worked. I warned him to check the license and he discovered he couldn't actually use it for broadcast as he wanted. He then decided to ask me to write a bespoke track and pay for it....and was astounded at the difference it made to the video having something bespoke! You're absolutely right...you wouldn't use stock footage for your film, so why the music?
