That Sync-ing Feeling!

Friday, March 20
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 10C
Austin Convention Center

Why is it that certain songs get tons of sync and other songs that seem perfect for sync don't get used? We will take example songs in several different genres and styles, then discuss what makes them work so well to picture. We’ll examine production style, lyric content, arrangement, song structure, pacing, and the more intangible qualities that make a song a “sync monster”. We’ll also discuss current trends, songs that drive those trends, and the language of creative briefs (words like "swagger", "anthemic" and "unexpected"). Panelists share their favorite uses and songs they keep in their “go to” playlists for projects, and we'll discuss the concept of "emotional shorthand" in sync.
