Music, sound effects and dialogue can make or break a movie. Now is the time to add the elements that will set just the right mood. Of course, if you've got an impatient co-producer, you can skip this step and go right into final production.
Music: Use your favorite music as a backdrop for your film, or download something new. Mark Harris, the About.com Guide to Digital Music has some suggestions for sites to legally download music for free. Please remember that free downloads are typically restricted to personal use. If you decide to release your new movie to the world, you'll want to make sure you're not infringing on the copyright of any music choices you've made.
Sound Effects and Dialogue: To add your sound effects and dialogue, you can dub them in, just like the pros do. If your video editing program allows you to record, that's the best bet. Otherwise, use the recording software that came with your operating system. Set the movie to play and record the dialogue and sound effects at the appropriate moments in the movie. Of course, you'll want to practice this first to the the timing right, and you may still need to shift the sound slightly (use the help that comes with the editing software) to make everything more realistic. Then again, it's not like your LEGO figurines can move their mouths anyway!
