Elias Music Library has changed the way people think about music libraries by offering one-of-a-kind game changing tracks that redefine the pre-composed production music market.
And now once again Elias Music Library sets themselves apart by giving one first place winner one of the most creative automobiles in the world, a Tesla Model S!
The ability music has to captivate our emotions is undeniable. Elias challenges you to demonstrate this by using their library tracks to create a visually stunning, innovative Video focusing on one of these four themes:
Shoot your own footage or Elias Music Library has partnered with Video Blocks to give you access to their library stock footage - giving you the option to create a Video without filming a thing.
The goal of this project is to create a 90-120 second Video using Elias Music Library tracks and either your original footage or stock footage from Video Blocks to creatively demonstrate that “nothing sounds like Elias.”
NOTE: This is not a commercial in the traditional Tongal sense. Think of it more as a mood piece/art film/highlight reel. The goal is to use Elias’ music library to evoke the feeling of one of the four themes.
