As I worked on my animated electronic opera Libertaria: The Virtual Opera, I ran across several very helpful websites for any musician or media artist that would like to create a large scale multimedia music project for a small budget.
Here's several helpful websites and media tools that you can use to create your next musical or media masterpiece! :)
Bandcamp allows you to set your own price for albums and allows you to embed your music, like this:
For easy animation, I have jumped on board Moviestorm. Moviestorm allows you to direct virtual characters in simple virtual sets. The software is free with affordable add-ons. There is also a dedicated Moviestorm community that is constantly developing wonderful freebies you can add to your media project. You can do some nifty things in Moviestorm.

Want to write a score and share it online? Noteflight is an easy interface that allows you to create simple scores online. Other musicians can comment on the scores and you can embed the scores on your website. The basic account is free, and the paid account has several useful tools.
Wreckamovie.com helps you create large scale projects like opera and films through crowdsourcing. Essentially you create a project page and then assign various tasks using the Wreckamovie platform. The recent project Opera by You was created entirely with crowdsourcing.
Scribd.com allows you to upload documents and share them easily through social media and embed codes.
I hope that you find some of these great online tools helpful as you embark on your artistic journey!
