Red 333 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 So, I write/direct/produce training, promotional, and corporate video. In an effort to offer lower prices to my customers, I decided to buy some camera, production, and editing equipment this year and learn to use it myself, instead of renting it for each project, hiring others to operate it, and passing along those costs. I’ve made a few videos by myself (no crew or editor) as exercises—the objective of each being to provide myself hands-on experience with various challenges I will encounter in a client video, or to learn techniques I know I will need to employ. Among other things, the video below was an exercise is shooting in low light. I thought I’d get some extra mileage out of my effort by also making it a musical holiday greeting for friends, and to also give you folks an opportunity to see and hear my J-45 Legend in action, albeit in a very simple musical setting. If you have some speakers connected to your computer, I think you’ll get a good representation of its tone. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. And if not, happy holidays, anyway.

Jack6849 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Red: Nice work on both your playing and arrangement, AND on your video production. That song hit its first peak in December of 1943, and almost seventy years later, it is still very powerful... Jack6849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ha ha ha! Well, happy holidays to you, too. You've been holding out on us... Very enjoyable. Especially liked the smooth production in general, but particularly liked the abstract fade at t = :40s. After all of this time(?)... thanks for sharing. PS: what's in the glass :) ?

Tarrr Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Red333 That song was written by Kim Gannon and Walter Kent in 1943 and made famous by Bing Crosby as our soldiers were coming home from WWII. My late father told me the story of hearing the song as he was on his way home from the Pacific. Great playing, that one just makes people feel good, thanks.
