Screenburn Helps The Rolling Stones Rent Movies To Their Facebook Fans

Screenburn Helps The Rolling Stones Rent Movies To Their Facebook Fans

Today The Rolling Stones and Eagle Rock Entertainment revealed their choice of Screenburn to bring rental movies to Facebook. The Stones are making 6 documentaries available from "Ladies & Gentlemen...The Rolling Stones" to "Stones in Exile." Movies will be streamed via a Facebook app created by Screenburn. Each title rents for $5.50 for 48 hours.

London-based Screenburn offers both sales and rental of video on Facebook. The Stones aren't their first clients by any means. They've been supporting a wide range of Facebook video releases from artists such as The Libertines, Paul McCartney and Katy Perry.

The Rolling Stones rentals are available through a Facebook app.

Movies are displayed in a slider that includes video previews. Once you pick one for viewing, you're signed into the app and then taken to checkout all while still on Facebook.

While Screenburn also offers sales, rentals seem more in keeping with the current direction of web consumption while also opening up revenue for movies some folks may not want to own but might want to see.

Rolling Stones movies available on Facebook include:

Sweet Summer Sun Hyde Park Live:
"The Rolling Stones historic and triumphant return to Hyde Park was without doubt the event of last summer. Over 100,000 delirious fans of all ages packed into the park for two spectacular outdoor concerts to watch Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood do what they do best."

Crossfire Hurricane:
"The film, directed by Brett Morgen, is released as part of the ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations of The Rolling Stones. This superb new film tells the story of the Stones unparalleled journey from blues obsessed teenagers in the early sixties to their undisputed status as rock royalty."

Ladies & Gentlemen:
"The legendary concert film “Ladies & Gentlemen…The Rolling Stones” has been fully restored and remastered from the original film print and multitrack audio masters and now finally receives its first authorised release."

Some Girls:
"The Rolling Stones 1978 tour of the USA in support of that year’s “Some Girls” album is considered by fans to be one of their very best. The tour followed immediately on the release of the “Some Girls” album and by the time the band arrived in Texas in mid-July the album had hit the No.1 spot on the US charts."

Stones in Exile:
"In the spring of 1971 the Rolling Stones departed the UK to take up residence in France as tax exiles. Keith Richards settled at a villa called Nellcôte in Villefranche-sur-Mer and this became the venue for the recording of much of the band’s masterpiece “Exile On Main Street”."

Live at the Checkerboard:
"On 22 November 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing 3 nights at the Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Muddy Waters’ club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform."

Draw it blindly

Creative Ideas

By Morris Hayes Jr

Grab something to draw with. Close your eyes and tilt your head slightly upward, then imagine what a solution would look like and draw it with your eyes closed.

I've got one better, go outside on a nice sunny day when there are a lot of clouds in the sky. You can do this a simply thing for few minutes, or even make a day out of it. But the thing is look up in the sky, and look at the clouds for a while and make a mental, or even a visual picture on paper. And if you're doing it right your imagination will run wild with you, and you can come up with a lot of good picture, crazy picture, or art masterpiece. Whatever it is have fun with it and let your imagination run wild.

5 ways to make a good track great

5 ways to make a good track great

Have you ever been in the position where you’ve got a good tune and you’re happy with it, but think it needs that extra something to make it stand out?

Well here are 5 tips for turning that good tune into a great one.
1. Add in FX
Make sure you’ve got enough distance from the track (I like to leave it a day or so before adding the FX on) so you’re not already exhausted from creating the track, then get to work adding in some reverses, sweeps, hits and other one-shots.
They can make dull phrases more interesting, builds more powerful and fans think you’re more awesome. FX are vital for a full, professional sound.
2. Go through inserting fills

When you need something more interesting to make a repetitive section maintain the listener’s attention, fills are the way to go! Drum fills, little melody quirks and the ever-useful “throw a random sample in there and hope for the best” technique all apply; just be sure to make your track fun to listen to!

Don’t be inappropriate though – this goes for public nudity as well as maintaining musical integrity, but if you have a trance song, sometimes it’s good to have a lot of repetition, for example, in order to entrance your listener. Find that balance that suits the style of music you want to make!

3. Remove unnecessary layers

Have you ever found your tracks swimming in pads, arps and keys? I know I’ve been guilty of it in the past – sometimes you need to remove a few layers, no matter how attached you are to them, in order for the remaining layers to shine.
This can result in the wonderful side effect of having a starting point for another song; if a part you really like is removed, take it into a new project and push it in its own direction!

4. Add extra layers of vocals

For those of you playing with words as well as sounds, it’s always adviseable to back up your vocals with double tracks and, more importantly, harmonies. Software like Melodyne Editor is great for this if you’re using vocal samples, since then you don’t need to get the vocalist in to record again!
5. Get some more opinions
There’s nothing like communal music making! Show your tune to a mate, musically inclined or not, and ask them if they thought anything might be an interesting change, or if any sections should be more prominent!
Just make sure they don’t ask for co-writing credits!

Start Over

If you threw out everything you've worked on so far, what would you do next? If you got rid of all of your ideas and inspiration and research and had to start from scratch, what would it look like?

First and foremost, I will be very pissed off if this was to ever happen. But you have to maintain your composure.

1. Search, and see if you had kept notes: If you had to start from scratch, make sure that kept notes prior to losing everything. Cause you may not have to start from complete scratch. You could start from where you were, or not as far.

2. Remember what you had done, and go from there: If you remember what you have done prior, would shed some light from what you were doing. Also, like the first point if you can remember you may not have to start competely from scratch.

3. Take a little break: Take a little break, a breather from everything. Reconsolidate everything that you had done, KEEP NOTES this time around so won't have to do the same thing again.

4. Make a gameplan or plan of attack: Now since you might, might not have taken a little break, and gotten yourself together. Reanalyze, and plan what your going to do to start over, and execute your plan. You never know it may be what you might need to break where you were stuck at. Or maybe not, see what happens. Hopefully you may not need to go through this.

Talk with yourself

Find a few minutes to sit down somewhere quiet and talk to yourself about being stuck. What is preventing you from moving forward? Are you afraid of something? How do you feel about your situation?

I can definitely relate to this one "no doubt about it." LOL!!

Ok this was a habit that I still use today. I actually got this habit from my mother. She would from time to time when I was a kid, of course when she thought she was by herself in a room. But she would actually have a conversation with herself, she wouldn't answer herself. But yet still have a full-blown conversation with herself. And after a while of this going on. I to had picked it up, and let me tell you. This actually had calmed down over situations that had made me mad, angry, sad, disappointed, and etc. And for years, I would say that "I'm my own best friend." Which I still believe today. I had friends and everything, but from time to time I couldn't get a hold of them. So what I would do is console myself for guidance and stuff like that. Yea so getting back to the creative idea here. So if this is your first time doing this. Look at it this way. Your not going crazy or anything, this is like you are talking your friends, co workers at work, or your business partners just making sure that you are making the best decisions for yourself, and so forth. So give it a go. It may seem like your going crazy but you're not. It's worth it, give it a try.

Focus on the really difficult parts

Magnify the really difficult parts of what it is you're trying to do. If you look at them close enough can you see ways to make them easier or to get past them?

This is one of those creative ideas where you may have to take some time to do. Cause you may have to look really close to what you have and really narrow down, or even research for solutions to whatever the problem may be.

Inspiration fix

Set a timer for 5 minutes and then use the internet or your environment to seek inspiration. Then spend 5 minutes focusing on your problem. Repeat until solutions arise.

This a cool way of inspiration, come up with an idea or an idea that you were givien. Focus, and Google your ideas and see what you can come up within the 5 minutes. And then use what you have gathered through the internet, or the enviroment and put them within the idea that you are working with. Somewhere in this process maybe of doing this process a few times. You may come up with how you want to do it from that point on. Give it a try and see what happens.

Gather Items

Take a few minutes to gather physical objects, then experiment with ideas involving each item. What if you combined items? What if you took a piece from one item and added it to another item?

I think what anyone should with this idea is to gather any, or everything that proteins to the subject matter of what you're working on. And then mess around with the items and see whatever you can come up with. And see how that works, anything is possible combinations, single ideas, anything that your imagination can come up with try it out.

Quit worrying

Rather than trying to get into the creative flow, what if you just relaxed and focused on doing some work? What if you simply let your creativity flow naturally, when it's ready?

I agree with this creativity tip, like another blog post that I had. keeping yourself occupied will usually for at least for me will put a  strike a spark in your creativity. But the thing is if you know that you are gonna good idea, or make something happening in a good way with your creativity then don't worry about it. It will happen it. Believe in yourself, and it will come.

Focus on the process

Focus on your process, rather than the results you are looking for. Ask yourself: "How can I change my process to be more creative?" Or: "Am I stuck because of the process I am using?"

I remember the old times before the internet had came out and everything in the 1990's right when I graduated from high school. Alot of creative people had ran into roadblocks in their creative thinking. Or writer's block also known as, but thanks to the internet, and other creative people, and developers and stuff like that, and what not. Alot of these people had came up with alot of creative ideas that alot of people, and creative people alike or anyone at that mattter from having writer's block. Look at me for instance I had started writing this blog like 2 to 3 years ago. And I did it for the nature of pushing, grinding, and promoting my music. And it has helped to some aspect for people to get to know me as a musician, but also it has put me out there as a author as well. Which I don't have no problems being either. But if it wasn't for the internet I probably wouldn't get that great right now without it. So the moral to this story is that with so many ways to come up with creative ideas. There should'nt be many people having it, but also be imaginative and use more than one way to come up with your creative ideas. You never know what you'll find if you don't try.

Remember the future

Sit down and try to "remember" a time in the future when you were done with your work. What did it feel like? How did you get there?

Remember when you had finished a project, work, or anything that you had been working hard to finish. Remember how accomplished you had felt afterwards. Try to get that feeling back. What did you do to get there?  And how hard did you work? Remeber those feelings and get it back somehow. It's all up to you to accomplish that.

Start at the end

Ask yourself: "what affect would it have if I was finished with this?" If the project or problem you are currently faced with were finished and you were to look back at it, what would you ideally change?

Finding yourself in a jam, and not exactly sure what to, look at it as if the project is finished and done, and see what you had accomplished and then find what had went wrong, and how they all could be changed. And then go back and fix the problem. At least if you start at the end, and look at the problems in the beginning and finding a solution to solve the problem.

Reverse brainstorm

Reverse what it is you're trying to do and list out ways you could achieve it. Then reverse your problem ideas to see if any stand out as solutions to your original problem.

Just reverse the process of how you want to achieve your idea and see if there is anything that sticks out that you didn't think of before that might have changed your idea any.

Emphasize your flaws

What are your personal flaws? If you don't know, ask someone. Then evaluate what happens if you take your flaws and emphasize them in your situation or problem.

Just sit down with yourself, and really, really no lying to yourself!! I emphasize on that especially because its not goin to work if you be honest to yourself. And realize what happens when certain things happen. And do what you have to do make it better for yourself and the situation.

Break it down

I tend to like this creative idea here, it's allowing you to look at every part of the problem, or project that you are involved in. And as it saids in the title break it down. And look at every part or every piece individually and see what is wrong and see what you have to do to fix it, or improve it. And at the very end see if every piece, or part all fits together to make everything a whole. Once you have done all that then your project, or whatever that your working on will be finished.

Cluster each step

Cluster Each Step reminds me of a app that I have just downloaded called “Mindix”. In this app you literally brainstorm your ideas together. Be able to keep the pics, texts,and I believe even audio to your brainstorming ideas which I think is cool. So pretty much that’s what Cluster Each Step is. So basically to me it is brainstorming.

Copy someone else’s idea

Find someone else who has created a solution you like, then copy it with your own style. As Jean-Luc Godard once said: "It's not where you take things from, it's where you take them to."
Oflow

Taking someone's idea and making it your own. Without taking the idea with no changes and making what someone else did yours. Be creative and make some changes to someone else's idea.

Seek questions

"Instead of focusing on trying to find a solution to your situation or problem, ask questions about it. The more you explore through questions, the more likely you are to stumble on a good idea." Oflow.

Keep asking yourself questions, about what your trying do for a project. Or a problem is. And come across a idea of your own that you can use.

Set smaller goals

"Identify what you're trying to do and then break it down into smaller goals. Write the goals down somewhere and check one off as you complete it as a way of monitoring your creative progress."

Oflow

I have a great example for this one. Every week on Thursdays I get to see what my weekly paycheck is. So when I do see it, I get to see what bills I have to pay for the week. And then break down my paycheck, and my bills. And then when I'm done I get to see what I have left over for the weekend.
