RE: BORED - A DJI Mini 2 Drone Cinematic Reel

By the way, your choice of music was excellent. Where do you source your tunes from?

I used to listen to this type of music a long time ago. There's a ton of YouTube channels around with small artists. If I recall, Wavevision and FOMH were some.

But YouTube is one of the worst places since it's just full of music and takes so long to find something decent. I use things like EpidemicSound or Pond5 for sound effects or music most of the time; EpidemicSound is only £10 a month (so like $13? One post here on Hive covers it). These services are really useful though since they're full of sounds and music that allow you to search via tags to filter things. It speeds up the process a lot when you know what you want.

Another big plus to these services is that you can give them your social media profile URLs and they'll whitelist them so if you do use any music, you won't fall victim to any of the usual annoyances with automated copyright protection algos running wild. That also means you're allowed to profit from it. Pond5 is a bit expensive so I don't really touch that anymore. That's for the bigger filmmakers making shows for TV. :^)

Seems if you sign up for EpidemicSound they'll give you a free trial for 30 days. Should be enough time to mess around with it and see if it's worth the cost if you start using it frequently. For the price and the library, I think it's worth it if you're being active enough in obtaining footage.
