As promised I wanted to share the music video I finished just before we headed off for a short break in Madrid (What a city!)
I
decided to write a blog post detailing exactly how the video was made (for no money, using just the equipment and space I have here at home)
You can read that and see the video HERE
Or, If you’d prefer just to watch the video on Youtube It’s right HERE
As this is the first music video I’ve ever produced I’m quite pleased with
it.
It brings home to me just how much the world has changed - and the possibilities that offers us - since we stopped “treading the boards” a few years ago.
None of what we have was available then which is why we decided to re-record some of our favourite songs and to create videos around
them.
Because even when we were playing a lot of gigs, selling self-produced CD’s and having a ball, we don’t have much to show for it!
It wasn’t that long ago - 2000 - 2007 to be precise but we didn’t have great smartphone cameras for great photos and videos.
We didn’t have Google, Facebook or any other social media to post them on and promote ourselves - even if we had them!
So we concentrated on writing, recording and getting as many gigs as we could. Friends took some photographs (on film) and shot some video on Camcorder (remember them?)
But we don’t have oodles of pictures, footage or live recordings of all those years of work
Now however we can put all that right and create a website, cool videos and revamped recordings which will serve as a sort of archive of all those good times.
I love the modern world!
Cheers!
Dave
