Satellite DVD Clip Posted

What's up all....I just wanted to tell everyone that I posted a clip of Satellite from the Pre-Production DVD. The clip is pretty damn good and I've made it split screen so you can see how both angles are synched perfectly.

There are of course a couple things to note. I strummed the Verse as opposed to picking it. This was because it was about 2am and I was moving into NYC the next day and I was VERY tired when I did this. Also, the lighting and sound aren't perfect. I am buying professional lighting for the final DVD and amazing Oktava MK012 mics for the sound. There will be a HUGE difference in terms of those aspects in the final DVD.

Other than the split screen, you are seeing exactly what DMB Management is seeing. Now imagine that o your 32" TV w/ that perfect quality!!! Please make sure to read all the Q&A's before you e-mail me. Thanks.....Well, ENJOY ALL!!!!!

wow the quality is about a million times better... but can i give maybe just one little suggestion...

lose the full body shot... keep the split screen, but have the left side zoomed in on the right hand. with the shot setup so far away, some people might have a tough time seeing exactly what you are doing...

and why do you looked so confused and scared? perhaps a little camera shy, hmm?

Man it looks great! Are you going to talk at all to explain chords, or what section of the song you are playing. I guess you could put some titles in for that.

I can hardly wait for this, it will make an excellent Christmas Present???? But no rush!!!

Looks good. Here are some recommendations:

With the videos on the site now, the left hand is shown really close up. By creating the split screen with these videos, you lose space on the top and bottom of the screen (black space). So, the left-hand cam isn't as close-up. Running this from my laptop, it's harder to see than the videos on the site now. Pehaps you can tile the two views top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right, to utilize more of the screen.

Instead of a full-body view, I would do a zoomed-in shot of the right hand. I think it would be more useful for a viewer.

Here's another idea that would require much more work, but would be cool. If you could somehow show clips of Dave's right hand (tiled with your left hand), that would be useful. For example, find clips of dave playing Satellite (like the beginning of the Storytellers video), and sync them with the videos of your left hand. The reason I say this is that I think it's more difficult to simulate Dave's right hand than his left. That's where I run into problems. The fretting part is more of a science that can be replicated, his strumming and rythm is more difficult to emmulate. Storyteller's has some nice shots of Dave's strumming up close (Tripping Billies comes to mind). Of course, I'm sure there would be all sorts of legal issues with trying to incorporate other video clips into your video.

Good work.

READ THE POST!!!! Ha, just joking. The actual DVD will NOT be split screen like that. It will be a full screen video of each. You change the angles using the angle button on the DVD. All DVD players have that option as it's part of the standard. This allows us to view each video in it's entirety.....while switching angles on the fly.

This would be a good idea if it was split screen...but the DVD won't be. The reason for the full-body view is because people can see the full strumming hand....along w/ chord changes..which is FULLY necessary when strumming.

As good of an ideda, that would just incorporate so many more problems into the mix. Dealing with actual copyrighted footage would change everything in terms of legality and licensing. Good idea though, but it couldn't work. Thanks for your thoughts though! Enjoy the clip

the clip looks great, but one suggestion i would have would to be to slow it down. even if it is the correct timing for the song, i would say that you should slow it just a little. the main riff seemed pretty quick. and yes, i think the full body shot is important, because you can see both hands together. great job...

i thought it was pretty cool. the quality was great and since it's going to be even better then it will be amazing.

i do have one suggestion and that is that you should make it more instructional. you should become the teacher. by this i mean that you should talk to the audience and explain what it is you are doing(not just sit there and play the guitar). then maybe show the riff at a slow pace once or twice then show it at normal pace. you don't even have to play the whole song just the riffs and maybe the transitions form riff to riff.

this is just my opinion.

good work....i don't really need one but will buy one to support the site.

Peace,

i guess i would agree with this...some may be saying to themselves while they are watching "ok, this is good, but when and where do i play this?"

Well, first things first.....if you look REALLY closely in the upper right hand, where the black strip is.....you can see the outline of words. Those words are fully visible when the clips are in full screen. They state which part of the song I am playing. Now, from what you said about making it more "instructional" You are correct and the final DVD will be. I "experimented" with doing that in the So Much To Say clip that I sent in. I basically state how many times to play each part and all the brew-ha-ha. I am going to 100% be teaching people how to play these songs. Me just playing them would still help.....but explaining things would make things that much easier to understand.

Yeah...sounds really good...the clip is great. I just hope my parents will let me buy this baby! (Being a teenager kinda sucks) And, uh, QUICK REPLY DOES RULE!

Are you going to direct the viewers to the website for the tabs, or is there going to be some sort of insert, or screen tab?

I'd love to see the lyrics scroll on the bottom with the infamous bouncing ball on top. :lol:

j/k

I'm sure you get sick of hearing that you rock, so from now consider it implied in all of my posts

eh. most anything i wanted to say has already been said, but it would be highly amusing to see a kanter head bouncing along to the lyrics.
