Re: [Harp-L] making youtube vids

["hazcon" <hazcon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I do quite a lot of amateur digital video movie making and have also done 
some taping of quiet jazz groups and acoustic musos.I remember one case 
where they had quite a fancy sound recording system set up but in the end we 
just went with the camera live video sound .It had a better balance and 
ambience.
            The specs on most camera sound systems are usually excellent 
and really the microphones are the limiting factors.
           I suppose what I am saying is that don't discount the camera 
sound offhand.Set yourself up in a fairly 'live' room if possible ,some bare 
wood ,tiles type of thing.
                 You can strip the sound off the tape and edit it if you 
like and then just play along with it in front off the camera but you have 
to careful then to mime in sync.Amazing how many guys pull the Harp out of 
their mouth and the harp is still playing.I don't know why but it sorta 
feels like they are cheating somehow.
          The actual video?Well it sorta puts me off a bit when people film 
themselves in their bedrooms and you can see their dirty linen behind 
them(well most people anyway ;-) ) Or in case of our beloved Adam Gussow 
when he filmed himself with a bright light behind him turning himself into 
the alien from 3rd encounters.......
          Hey I will be watching what you do anyway.Look forward to seeing 
you play.
Possible topics?
Gypsy music?
