It Vids

This video is featured in a commercial promoting the 52nd Grammy Awards on CBS … also seen here: www.youtube.com Lady GaGa : Poker Face – VIOLA TRIO COVER (split screen) * “HQ” — Make sure you watch in “High Quality” This is the 11th video in my continuing series of classicalized popular music. The song was requested by so many people its hard to point the finger at any one. The original video of the song may be seen here: www.youtube.com This performance is the 6th of my split screen videos where I play with myself, and the 2nd where I play a trio with myself. It’s all about the viola this time, just like Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.6, a concerto for strings, yet it features no violin parts. I steal my ideas from the masters of course. To do this video, I listened to the original song and by ear wrote out a sheet music score, then arranged it as a trio for 3 violas, and then performed it. I recorded each part separately. I was able to sync up and mix the 3 parts on my computer with a sound wave editor. To do the split screen, I used AviSynth (scripting based video editing and effects utility) in combination with VirtualDubMod (a free video editing utility) to sync up and render the two videos into a single split screen video. The sound then had to be synced to the 3 videos playing simultaneously and properly mixed. My AviSynth script for this video: viola1 = crop(AVISource(”N:\PokerFace\VIOLA_1.avi”),256,0,-60,0) viola2 = crop(AVISource(”N:\PokerFace\VIOLA_2.avi …

Lady GaGa : Paparazzi – STRING TRIO COVER (split screen) This is the 13th video in my continuing series of classicalized popular music. I simply play whatever music (if any) is there so that you can see it without all the distractions such as lyrics, electronic sounds, unnatural instruments, exaggerated beat machinery, etc. that have nothing to do with pure music — the melody, harmony, and rhythm. All 13 of my covers are full length, and are in both the exact same key and tempo as the originals. The original video of the song may be seen here: www.youtube.com To do this video, I listened to the original song and by ear wrote out a sheet music score, then arranged it as a trio for 2 violins and viola, and then performed it. I recorded each part separately. I was able to sync up and mix the 3 parts on my computer with the free sound wave editor, Audacity. To do the split screen, I used AviSynth (scripting based video editing and effects utility) in combination with VirtualDubMod (a free video editing utility) to sync up and render the two videos into a single split screen video.
