Backing track suggestions for a video

[MagicalTrevor]

I'm trying to make a short video for friend of mine featuring her daughter (4 years old). I'm trying to think of a nice soundtrack to accompany it. The video is just of her playing around so I've made a compilation of her just playing around.

Any (sensible) suggestions?

Thanks

Is it an active video, or kind of chilled out? It's just to get an idea of the speed really. Also, how long is the video?

...and how much do you want to pay PRS?

(Only kidding)... you can use any music you like on YouTube these days FOC (as YouTube pay PRS). I get my cut tomorrow Could be as much as £1

Good point, it's a bit active. Starts with her playing in the playground, then I just gave her the GoPro on a GoPole and let her play with it (basically explained which way was 'up' and let get on with it!) with some at the end of her 1 year old sister mesmerised by the camera and generally waving her arms around.

The video is currently 3 mins in length. Deliberate timing really to suit most tracks.

Thanks

Thanks Steve. Great little piece, I'll try it out and see how it might fit in

This is perfect if her name is Sarah.

... and there was a website where you can download songs sung by Elmo with child's name in them. This may work well. If you are interested, I'll dig it out for you.

In a similar vein, I had the perfect song in 'Ben Folds - Gracie'... unfortunately, her name isn't Grace. It was nearly the perfect length as well

Record yourself saying the little girl's name in a very monotonous voice and stick it in over the top of Ben Folds saying 'Gracie'. It will sound superb, don't you worry!
