Creative sourcing
Build musical references, alternatives and focused shortlists for film, television, advertising and branded content.
MUSIC FOR STORYTELLERS
Music supervision support, from search to sign-off.
Finding a track is only the beginning. The right music has to serve the scene, fit the budget, and follow a realistic rights path. Audio Motion Music brings together creative sourcing, composer options and clearance coordination for screen and branded projects.

Music supervision for advertising and branded content.
For agency producers and filmmakers, the useful starting point is a scene or campaign brief, not a generic playlist. Music supervision connects the creative search with realistic licensing, source selection and delivery.
Music research and shortlists
Brief against tone, edit, audience, budget and format, then narrow options with production feedback.
Rights-first decisions
Check whether shortlisted recordings have identifiable master and publishing controllers, and flag uses needing direct approval.
Post-production handover
Keep music decisions, versions, cue details and approved-use scope together as the edit moves toward delivery.
Need a specific hit? Explore famous-song clearance. Need a custom cue? Commission original music.

Common questions
Questions before starting
Can you source music outside your own catalogue?
We can discuss independent sourcing and rights-holder coordination as part of a project brief. Rights availability and licensing terms are never assumed.
Do you offer original music as well?
Yes. We can discuss licensing catalogue material or commissioning original composition, depending on the scene and timing.
Can you guarantee a famous song will clear?
No. Approval, fees and permitted use remain subject to the relevant owners and negotiated agreements.

PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
What music supervisors and producers need to know
Sourcing a track is not the same as clearing it
A track may match the edit perfectly while ownership is incomplete or permission is restricted. We separate creative shortlist, rights research, budget approval, written licensing and final asset delivery.
When an existing famous song is specified
An iconic recording may require negotiations with a master controller and every necessary composition controller. Provide the recording version, scene description and campaign media before treating the track as viable.
When a custom score is a better fit
If a famous track is unavailable, a bespoke composition or properly authorised new arrangement may serve the creative brief. These options still need defined ownership, approvals and delivery specifications.
What belongs in a music cue sheet
For film and television handoff, capture accurate titles, composers, publishers, durations, usage type and other requested IDs. A cue sheet helps identify the music used, but is not itself a substitute for licences.
From music search to licence
Compare music sources and collect the right production requirements before committing a track to a cut.
