Here’s a little tune for your rainy days from an obscure and charming Brummie artist, Carina Round.  She recorded this song by candle light with background beats provided the pitter patter of falling raindrops.

Enjoy,

A friend recently shared GlasvegasGeraldine; I think this is an absolute beauty with totally heart-wrenching lyrics. If you missed any due to James Allan’s broad Scottish accent, here are the lyrics.

Here’s a fun, poppy, electronic groove for your Friday.

You don’t need a big budget to make a great music video. I love the DIY papercutting, stop motion animation in Rex the Dog’s Bubblicious music video. The Bubblicious single drops February 23rd.

Friday smiles,

Music Video: Andrew Peterson – Labor of Love / Nativity Story

This is a music video I cut together for my church’s Christmas service. The source footage is The Nativity Story and the song is Andrew Peterson’s “Labor of Love”.

The verse at the end is from Matthew 1:23

“Look! The virgin will conceive a child!
She will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel,
which means ‘God is with us.’”

The video was edited on Adobe Premiere CS3 and finished on Adobe After Effects CS3.

Music Video: Metallica – All Nightmare Long

Penguin December 10th, 2008

Metallica has put out an awesome music video with Russians and zombies! It’s a really cool look at an alternate reality.

A combination of CGI, animation and footage scratched and blown out to look really old. It all just works.

Video: Music Video Made for 45,000 Pictures

Fat City Reprise – Long Gone from Cesar Kuriyama on Vimeo.

The video is gorgeous with its subtle animation and beautiful depth of field. It’s hard to imagine that it was all done with a DSLR

Eschewing a video camera, he took 45,000 photographs with a Nikon D200 DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera and stitched them together to create the illusion of video.

Kuriyama says he directed the talent in the video to move as best they could in slow-motion while he had his director of photography Tommy Agriodimas shoot JPG bursts with the Nikon D200.

The duo were able to get about 60 images per burst at about four pictures per second.

After that the team re-worked the frames in post-production to move closer to 24 frames per second.

Including the time for conceptualizing and creating the story board, it took Kuriyama about 14 months to the video. He worked on it after-work hours every day.

The whole video cost just about $3000 to make
