Songs for Sports Slideshows

Postby jrbunky » Sat Jul 31, 2010 5:09 pm

I primarily create Sports Slideshows for my kids sports programs and I have found these songs work very well for the fast and slow songs. I use a simple program called GoldWave to edit out the parts of the song I don’t want. Sample SlideShow (Swim Team) http://www.photodex.com/share/jrbunky/47pg8mg4

Hi,

I work primarily with sports slideshows and I like your selections. I think your "The Who" intro choice is perfect. I will most likely dig up some of your selections to fit with some of my work.

I normally have a file with all my edited songs I use as INTRO's to my slideshow. as a means of beings energy and excitment. Then transend into the other songs to sync with the remaining images on the slideshow.

If you are interested in my list of these intro songs, or my slideshow list, let me know.

Thanks

Phil
Smile... why not! You are online and no one can see!

Hi
I know this is an earlier date - mid 80's (I think??) - but I used John Fogarty's "Centerfield" for a little league team that worked really well IMHO.

"Family over Friends" "Night over Day" "Nikon over Canon" "Gravy over Everything"

One quick note (and I know this is a little late), the Chicago Bull's theme song is actually known as Alan Parson Project's "Sirius"
PSP 7, Photoshop CS6, Nikon D3100.

I have been doing sports video professionally for over 20 years now. If you need some ideas give me a shout and I will be glad to help out.

On a side note...for people who post songs, especially the orignal poster...please try to at least post the correct song name. Nothing if more frustrating than someone giving out wrong song info...and they just edited with the song!!! Seriously? I can assure you I know the exact name and artist of every song I've ever used and there have been hundreds. It's not too much to ask and it's not being picky. It's courtesty if nothing else.

For example, the Dire Straits song is called "Money for Nothing" not "I Want My MTV".

Taylor Hicks is "Do I Make You Proud"...not "Do You Make Me Proud".

"Bittersweet Symphony" is by The Verve not Oasis

The Bare Naked Ladies song is called, "One Week" not "Chinese Chicken".

If you're going to rip off the artists' copyrighted work to use to make your videos at least have the decency to get their names and song titles correct.
