what length for sound effects?

Just wondering what the pitch length should be for this dispatch listing - 15 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec? Longer pieces okay? Anyone got a sample they can post?A wide range of PROMO/FILM TRAILER INSTRUMENTALS [no vocals] are needed by an LA-based Music Library/Publisher for an upcoming DVD of songs they're going to release to their Music Industry contacts. They're seeking zingers, drones, and atmospheric pieces that can be like sound effects that are used in movie trailers and promos. They can be scary sounds, weird sounds, etc. All tempos are OK. thanks

VikkiFor movie trailers and promos, full length songs (3-4 minutes) are fine. The listing did not say they were looking for 30 or 60 second cues, so don't worry about it. Casey
