Video Game Melodies. You know them. Even if you don't play videos games, you probably know one or two. If I went to a lonely deserted shopping mall and hummed out a video game melody like the Super Mario Bros theme, I almost gurantee some spooky ghost lad would hum it back. Not only are some video game melodies catchy, they also capture the feel of the game and it's story and characters. I always found it so amazing that music could capture so much, despite it being kind of an obvious observation. Still though, that fascination led me to write video game-style music of my own. As a result, I gained ome habits here and there and I thought I'd share a bit in the form of...tips. Not meant to be taken super seriously, but I thought it'd be a fun video nonetheless. This is "5 Tips for Making Video Game Melodies". I hope you enjoy!
