Its only .99 cents, I'm just gonna buy it. Really, better safe then sorry.

What would really be great, is if we could get a BiM composer, that way we are completely free of copyright, AND the project is 100% community based. We would have time too, seeing as people are just starting to animate their intros.

@Jampot, man that is a great idea, we could even put it about halfway down this page.
Maybe put a nice picture banner over it and add links to the guy's work.

...Sorry, I feel really sarcastic today.

@Pushover, if you can get the licence from the guy, that could work. But just buying a piece of music doesn't necessarily grant you the right to put it in your animations. For example, I've bought some Star Wars music and put it on some old animations of mine. Youtube still flagged it, and technically the legal people could sue me for infringing on their rights. On the other hand, many places online do licence their work (usually for a fee) and once you have that licence you can use it however.

For the project, I highly recommend getting a BiM composer. It's a basic enough melody, and the tune is public domain. That way we don't have to worry at all with copyrights, plus it'll be entirely BiM-made.

I actually had a look around last week and I found a number of working MIDI files of this song that seemed to work fine. If DylanD cannot help you guys out, I could use the tune contained within one of these (it's an out of copyright melody) and re-arrange it using Sibelius to whatever instruments you would like to create a pretty decent sounding (albeit with virtual instruments) arrangement.

Okay John, go for it. I liked your first version of the knights thing, so I don't see a problem with you doing the music. I mean, it's not like it has to be Beethoven or anything. Send it to Pushover when you're done. He can then decide if he wants to use it.

Alright, will do.  If you or him decide not to use it that's perfectly alright, it's good practice either way.  I'll keep you guys updated, I'll try and start it tonight. 

I'm terribly offended that you don't think I compose at Beethoven's level.

Hey, what kind of overall feel do you want?   Obviously it's going to be a fairly fast tempo and in a major key, but so far as the instruments used...
Piano?  Electric guitar?  Synths?  Strings?  Flute? 
Really, I could see any one of those sounding good so long as I don't try to mix them.  I'd like to know what you're thinking though (whoever is in charge of music).
