Making a live-action fan vid. Need music recommendations.

[Kohalu]

Hey hey everypony! Some friends and I are making a video about Discord and Celestia's backstory. I'm looking for brony music that would fit the mood, since we're not doing any dialogue.

The basic plot is this:
Time: before Discord's rule and before Celestia and Luna become alicorns.
Discord (before his dragonequus ascension) is an outcast in the pony world.
Celestia finds Discord. They romance.
Later on, the relationship crumbles. Argument & fight and it ends dramatically
Discord is furious, heartbroken, sad. His rage unlocks his powers, ascends to full form. Breaks the world.
Celestia and Luna find the elements, become alicorns.
Fight Discord, he’s brought down.
Celestia is heartbroken.

Mainstream music we're considering is
Blue Jeans by Lana Del Rey
Precious Dark by Indica
King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men
Awake and Alive by Skillet
Kill! Kill! Kill! by The Pierces
Nemo / End of All Hope by Nightwish

So we're ok with a variety of possible music. Any suggestions?

You should put this in the "Challenges" subforum (don't repost this; just ask a mod and they'll move it).

What type of music are you looking for? Happy? Sad? Angry? Energetic? Lethargic? We need more information before we can help you. And how much do you need?

Oooh, this looks like it has potential. Do you guys actually have a camera setup, animations that you'll be doing, etc? I may be willing to help out with audio and mixing it in to fix the situation, if necessary. I don't really listen to any brony music, sorry, but not a lot of brony music seems like it wouldn't be really "movie" or "video" worthy. I'd advise asking somebody here to compose some background music or something. Or if you're going to do an action sequence where you want them to "fight to the music" or such, you'd need to go into further detail about what the scene is going to be like so that we can help you pick out an appropriate piece.

I sent you guys something you might like.

Let me know if it works out, or if you'd like something different.

Yeah, the videographers/editors are the guys that made this.

We're not set about what music we're looking for specifically, it's all pretty open at the moment since we're still planning everything. So we'll consider whatever you guys recommend. Right now we're really liking Monster.

Nice, sounds like you have everything planned out and set up. Hopefully you can get a music list selected, good luck with this!
