    LOS ANGELES --

    The Elias Music Library has partnered with Tongal to debut the Elias Music Library Editing Project on April 29. Fans will vote on the top 20 entries with the winner being presented a 2014 Tesla S automobile.

    Industry professionals, students, amateurs, editors and hopefuls worldwide are invited to enter. The concept is simple–utilize the extensive Elias Music Library tracks to support one of four themes, creating a 90-120 second video highlighting the assorted variety of music tracks available in the Elias Music Library inventory, proving the mantra, “Nothing sounds like Elias.” Details about the Elias-Tesla campaign can be found at http://tongal.com/elias

    Mitch Rabin, exec VP of Elias Music Library, noted, ”We’ve received amazing feedback from our library users. Elias created this contest in order to expose editors to the quality of our catalogue by encouraging them to search and utilize our tracks in a real life setting. “Video editors often spend hours agonizing over music tracks–trying to find that perfect piece to fit their meticulously crafted projects. At Elias, we make that part of their process much more workable. With over 5,000 amazing titles, Elias delivers music perfect for any mood or moment.”

    “We’re always looking for fun ways to reward our community for their ideas and talent, so handing out a brand-new Tesla is a really awesome way to get people excited about this project,” said Tongal co-founder James De Julio. “As a big music fan, I can appreciate the value of a great soundtrack and will be interested to see what stunning visuals our ‘Tongalers’ come up with for this Elias Music Challenge. Tongal is the industry-leading, community-sourced platform for creative content, is well-known for big money prizes on behalf of brands and artists such as McDonalds, LEGO and KISS.  Now, we’ve partnered with Elias Music Library to give-away the coolest prize ever… a 2014 Tesla.”

    Videos must revolve around one of the following four themes:

    –SPACE / FUTURE / TECHNOLOGY: Time and space, these two universal substances often times go hand in hand with technology. Use Elias’ library music along with engaging visuals to create a captivating look at what the future may hold for space and technology.

    –DREAMS: For all the dreamers out there, Elias is offering an opportunity to bring those dreams to life. Capture a unique interpretation of dreams using tracks from Elias Music Library.  Dream big!

    –GREEN: The whole world seems to be going green. These changes transform almost every aspect of our lives and leave us hopeful for a sustainable future. Use Elias’ music library tracks to build an inspiring visualization of this green awakening.

    –FREEFORM: Elias Music Library doesn’t want to stifle your creativity so, if none of these topics speak to you – go your own way. Choose a theme inspired by Elias tracks and transform your vision into an extraordinary cinematic story.

    Anthony Head, the suave, smooth-voiced British actor known for roles in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Ted Lasso," has died, his family said Friday. He was 72.

    Head's daughters, actors Emily and Daisy Head, told the Press Association news agency that the actor passed away due to complications from pneumonia.

    The stage and TV performer became well known to British audiences in the 1980s as one half of a will-they, won't-they romantic couple in a series of ads for Nescafe Gold Blend instant coffee. The ads were later re-shot for a U.S. audience for Taster's Choice.

    Head achieved wider fame as librarian Rupert Giles, mentor to the title character in the cult-favorite supernatural series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which ran from 1997 to 2003.

    He most recently played Rupert Mannion, the villainous ex-husband of Hannah Waddingham's character Rebecca, in "Ted Lasso."

    "Our grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind, but we know his legacy will live on, in the shows he was a part of, and in the audiences that love them," his daughters said. "How lucky we are to know we are able to watch him doing what he loved, even when he is no longer with us."

    Head was born in London on Feb. 20, 1954 to Seafield Head, a documentary filmmaker, and Helen Shingler, an actor. His older brother, Murray, is also an actor.

    Other notable roles included playing Geoffrey Howe, the deputy to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, played by Meryl Streep, in the Oscar-winning "The Iron Lady."

    Head portrayed a prime minister himself in the sketch comedy show "Little Britain," as well as King Uther Pendragon, the father of Prince Arthur, in the "Merlin" TV series. He also appeared in "Motherland," Manchild," and "Silent Witness," along... Read More
