[@mandelbro1]

I've made my entire catalog of music free to download and use in videos. You can find it all here → mandelbro.bandcamp.com/ I hope to encourage you to start experimenting with music in videos, and start sharing stories that are meaningful to you. Take care!

[@beecessity9189]

Thank you so much for sharing. You're really talented and you've inspired me to continue doing music.

[@armanmkhitaryan27]

That's a great move, thanks a lot! I'm going to try my hand at creating interesting feature videos and will absolutely credit you if I reuse your work.

[@DrObvious111]

I love the album itself and have it saved in a playlist, so it's really nice of you to give people opportunity to use it freely 🤍

[@fabienb]

Came for the video, stayed for the music :) I went to your Bandcamp and will try to include your music in my videos a) to thank and support you and b) because it's actually great! Cheers mate

I'm one of the two editors on this video (Jack Joyce brilliantly tackled the second half of the piece) and let me say, fantastic job with this analysis (everyone on the team is amazed at what you've done). Seeing our work dissected (and praised) in such detail is truly incredible. Subbed! 🙌

[@MrMostakshif]

Very nice .Could i get your insta?

[@nathanieldrew]

brilliant.

[@rhimiles]

I've got a degree in film scoring. And I must say, as much as I love pulling apart the soundtracks for Hollywood blockbusters, it's very exciting to be in a time period where KZbin essays stand up to the same level of analysis. There's some seriously good stuff on this platform, it gives me chills.

[@MaxReisinger]

So good dude. Love this breakdown

[@joelm5785]

I love how you explain this effect of Pulling Back by simultaneously using it at 16:07 ^^

[@lulcy789]

lolll i noticed that too and was like dang this is crazy

[@flix5121]

Please come back and make more videos, I miss them

[@WW_Studios]

This should have a million times more views - SO GOOD!!!

[@zahrahaider3071]

Wow, this is a phenomenal video and captivating analysis. I learned so much. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

[@tomfoxmusic]

This is a fantastic video, thanks for the s/o!

[@flix5121]

I mean, you could also make a video about how nicely music is utilized in your own videos, because you yourself do a reaaally good job at that. Which is also why I love your videos and always forget how small of a youtuber you actually are. Many bigger channels aren't this good, keep it up!

[@mandelbro1]

Ah, thanks!!

[@SugarVibes811]

Thank you so much for this video bro, honestly appreciate it❤❤❤❤❤

Amzing work man! Cant believe I didnt find your channel sooner but wow please keep creating!

this video should blow up! thank you for the in depth analysis of a magnificent work, this analysis is a great video in itself

[@jrdnbshp]

Brilliant analysis. I subscribed 5 mins in and am sharing this video with a few friends. Keep up the excellent work! This is seriously good stuff.

[@sviy4650]

It's so cool that I came across your channel! thank you! I get a kick out of watching it!

[@dirkgoldman1155]

Thank you very much for making this video. Probably the most important video I have watched on KZbin on that topic. Hope to see more breakdowns like this in the future.

[@Jbar1011]

brilliant stuff

[@lulcy789]

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen - you did an incredible job explaining your ideas clearly and instructively and with the passion you clearly have for the subject matter. Thank you so much for making this video, it's really helpful!!

[@rousd11]

dude analysing songs and their arrangments is something I really love doing! I use excel as a means to study and map out songs to learn about how to keep things interesting and to keep track of each instrument and where things come in and drop out, especially in songs that are instrumentally dense. I've even done it for a few songs of yours too!!

[@mandelbro1]

Oooh I'd love to see some of these excel spreadsheets

[@rousd11]

Wow this breakdown is so well down. Thank you for this. Please do more and show examples of different emotions. Well done!

[@WesleyJHarris]

Underrated video here, man. Great job! I love Johnny's videos and base a lot of my editing on his style now. This was a big help because the music plays a huge role in his work as you mentioned. Keep up the great work!

[@hoogyoutube]

Really interesting video

[@mandelbro1]

Very hoog 👀

[@RobWatt]

excellent explanation

[@allenroughton]

This is an amazing breakdown. I struggle with adding music in videos, so I just don't. I've been looking for advice on how to incorporate it, and there's just so little out there -- nothing to this quality. Thanks for making this!

[@golosbezdoka]

Man your sound is great! I'm so much impressed with your audio! Of course, the content is very good too.

[@fordbojtl]

Wow 🤯 bro this is a huge amount of valuable info and music. Thank you.

Brilliant vid, instant sub.

[@sarahjeannexd]

I know I’m late but your analysis is amazing ❤

[@bukharishahzaib5141]

dude that's a nice analysis.

[@CultureCompassTV]

Great breakdown, thanks for making this. I'm currently studying storytelling as a way to level up my videos, and this was very interesting in that respect too, besides the musical part. As for music, I always struggle to fine fitting music when I try to find it, so I always opt to not use any as it's just too time consuming to me and a low yield activity considering how long it takes me to just find one song that I can use. I understand its importance, but I don't understand how to integrate music into film efficiently, time wise.

[@MelLanzieri]

That’s so cool, can you make more videos analyzing the music behind videos and stories?

[@WW_Studios]

This video is legit SO GOOD! Hope this doesn't come of the wrong way... but maybe changing the thumbnail would help it pop off!? Keep it up!

[@Putchuon]

Excellent video man. I’d love to work with you on some musical scores for my videos.

[@el_rabserino]

I'd love to produce music for video games one day and your outlook in this video is definitely encouraging me to try it out 🎮

[@gogroupby]

Great video!!!! Where can I find the How much is your life worth song?

[@cooltrades7469]

Cool. Did not watch any of your videos in long time . Busy. Well done . I did some theater music at some point and I had problems explaining to the actors that people come to theater with a different perception than 50 or 100 years ago. People watch productions with hyperproduced sound tracks, etc. That should be somehow counterbalanced also in theater. In a different way , but it should be done. A lot of movies , once you take down the sound track...well....try and see.

[@KadinWhitney]

You are ....... Extraordinary

[@julienhe4187]

Great video man, I also love the jacket in the beginning do you know where i can gind it?

[@midsoulmusic]

Do you do your motion design yourself? looks so crisp!!! good job! just subscribed

[@SalymGuer]

Great video, may i ask for a mixing video to get the right levels (gain..etc) of music, vocal and SFX please ?

[@Jude595]

Thank you! Do you know any other videos/ books/ resources that help with music and storytelling! (I liked and subbed as well)

[@mandelbro1]

I think the best resource is simply going out and filming something and editing it into a story. By doing that you can see what works and what doesn’t and start building an intuition for things. Outside of that I really enjoyed this short book “On Directing Film” by David Mamet who explains in very direct terms how to stories are told through film. You might enjoy that! Thanks for subscribing and take care!

What exactly keyword do i search for thinking music, and what should I use for build up

[@MrGreen-ci2mm]

You’re way overthinking it. David mora’s Video on Johnny Harris is so much more simpler. If y’all wanna check it out it’s called ‘ why every Johnny Harris video goes viral’ and it’s an amazingly well edited/made video

[@JoelBlackman.]

Hes going into detail

[@MrGreen-ci2mm]

@@JoelBlackman. More like he's going into useless detail lol

[@EUFJH]

@@MrGreen-ci2mm Not really, music as an instrument for storytelling is a really interesting topic. And here he goes into more detail about the music while I think David Mora‘s video talked more about visuals and gave a general overview.
