Paradigm ofcourse i can forget that (Making of music)

In this post i'd like to share my experience on creating the music for my college symposium presentation video. First when i was asked to create music for the presentation video, i was feared because, 1st thing is that i am not much interested to work for the college which gives me low internal mark, and second is that even though if i compose a music there will be negative comments about it from people. But it was my close pal chocks, who actually believed in me and asked personally to help him. Already he was alone working with the Animation, and i dont wanted him to struggle with music to the video. So thats how i got into picture.
Chocks told me about the theme of the video, and he asked me to compose a heavy beat music before he completed the video. I just went home and work on for 3 days, trying to compose something ending with dissatisfaction. And finally i managed to compose a track that made me feel great. But chocks finished the video on a evening and sent me the video, only a day in middle left for the presentation. And i matched the video with the music track i've composed. I was panic, the music didn't suite the video. It was pain in my ass,.. How could i answer him,. he believed me, and i really have to do something and fast. I was told from people, even from Chocks that if i could'nt compose a good music, steal from anything atleast. I left without any choice, i searched for many tracks in the internet and atlast found a track which atleast went fine with the master piece of Chocks and i added some beats and effects to the track..,

But the other terrible thing was i was given another video from 3rd year guys and asked to compose music. That video already contained music but it was cine tracks from Billa(new), Shivaji, and so on,. the beats were heavy and suited well for the video already. But they were cine tracks and hence they gave the video to me for modifying the audio with some western beats.
I took it as a challenge and mixed the video with the track i've already composed. Thank God, it worked, but there was little modification,.. I have to sync the track with video effects that keep changing constantly. And Since i composed the music with Sony Acid loops and Fl studio, i was able to clearly synchronize the track for the video. And finally it worked great,. i was happy to listen to the music that ive composed. When i heard the whole composition for the first time with the video,. i stood up on the chair where i was sitting, and jumped on it saying to myself that "I have done a Dope".., repeating the same lines i was jumping and the 3rd time when i jumped, my legs directly penetrated into the plastic chair on which i was standing and had to face a problem with my family.
This is how i made it,. well the music ive composed may not appear great to others but as a composer (original composer) it was a music from heaven to me.
The below is the video that i composed music,. 100% own work..,


I can forget about the things happened in Paradigm,. but i cannot forget the above experience..., :)
