Memory Collection 05 -
Sci-Fi and Aliens
Samples are from 10 Public Domain science
fiction movies. Download or read the PDF documentation (with
screenshots).
The movies are from the 1930s to the 1970s. So they
cover different styles of soundtracks. I was surprised
by the quality of the soundtracks in general. They
featured early electronic music with a creative mix of
various types of sound sources. Even without using any
of the samples in a composition, just listening to them
is fun and it also is a lesson in the history and
evolution of sound design in movies.
Samples include voice/spoken word/dialogs, sfx/foley
and music.

Some
samples may reflect stereotypes and prejudice of
their times and original creators. They may
express racial prejudice, sexism, social
stereotypes, ignorance and/or poor knowledge of
other cultures (for instance accents that are
deemed insulting today).
The views and opinions expressed in these are
those of their original creators and do not
necessarily reflect my opinions.
I verify that the source videos are in the Public
Domain by searching the web, there are lists of PD
movies and websites dedicated to them. Before I
decide to use a video, I find at least 2 sources
that say it is Public Domain. Of course I try to
avoid errors but I am not giving any legal
guarantees about the PD status of any source video
either.
Also, here in North America, there are
bargain-price DVD labels that offer PD movies.
Many of the movies I have used come from my
personal collection of such DVDs.
