Game trailers: Any 'Public Domain' stuff that can be used on a demo reel?

[Jeff Hayat]

Any site out there host trailers for games that we are free to use to put together a demo reel? You would hate to be vying for a job at a gaming co., send them a demo reel, only to find out that you pissed them off because one of the trailers you scored belongs to them!

LOL

Any suggestions are apreciated!

Jeff,

Why do that? IMHO, the stuff you've done should be on that demo, not other compositions. Using other composers stuff would to me only show lack of imagination. You would only be showing them your able to copy cat the style. Show 'em what your capable of dude. You do good work. Prove it to them! ;)

I think he is asking about the VIDEO not the audio. I think he basically wants to replace the AUDIO in the trailer with his own personal audio.

I have seen many sound designers do this, without permission, I am not advocating that just telling you what I have seen.

But like Ballard said, the audio should stand on its own without visual support.

First - thank you for your kind words. :o

Secondly, as Quoid said, I am not looking to send anyone a demo with someone else's audio/music and claim it's mine.

Thanks! :D
