Members Raskolnikovs axe Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 for our cd release show we're thinking about doing a little 5-6 minute video compiled from live footage overlayed with our studio tracks and interspersed with the funniest bits of the hours of video footage we have of us hanging out acting like retards. we tend to just film random crap so we already have loads of stuff. to start with i'm making a few short ( anybody else ever try this? any tips or advice if you have?[YOUTUBE]ynY_1ER4yLo[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cherri Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 If you're using it for promotion, edit out the parts in which you act like retards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bloolight Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 I can't really see why something like this would be particularly useful, but then again I'm too old for MySpace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackbelt1 Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Dale, cut out the first couple of seconds - it's too incoherent. The rest of it is pretty good; the only thing I'd try to add would be a crowd shot or two that shows some lively interaction. It's important for a promoter/venue to see that they are in for an energetic night and a fun crowd, powered by Trains Followed Us. Check out some of the pictures of the band here called TK-sumpin sumpin (I never can remember the whole thing). Just seeing a couple of pictures of the band wailing, with the crowd laughing and responding make me want to see one of their shows. Same with a guy who posts here everynow and then named Scott Powell. You can see that energy flying back and forth between his band and the crowd. ~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Raskolnikovs axe Posted January 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 If you're using it for promotion, edit out the parts in which you act like retards. that'd be hard...we're pretty much all retards all the time. anyway, i understand that the humor might not hit for everybody but the people we've shown it to so far have thought it was funny. oh well, can't win over everybody with everything. i do agree some crowd shots would be good....if we had any. we really don't have enough of a draw yet to make crowd shots that don't make us look bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'd want a shot of the dozen or so old, boring, non-interested people who typically populate the cafe/winery we've been playing lately.

Members Raskolnikovs axe Posted January 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 we've had some decent crowds (not often, but occasionally) for a local band but even then it's not the packed crowd you'd like to see in the video. even getting like 20-30 people out for a show is an accomplishment for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raskolnikovs axe Posted January 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 i like the skate video idea, but it's been done a lot. the tk 421 video is pretty cool and i agree, the clear connection between the band and the crowd is a big selling point if you're aiming these videos at clubs or venues. my focus for this is more just something to put in bulletin on myspace or an introductory message to a potential new friend - not people who'd be booking us, potential audience members. something that's a bit off the wall, hopefully funny and memorable, and containing a bit of our music. here's another one[YOUTUBE]Cixek-RPzSs[/YOUTUBE] i realize that these are probably not funny and/or slightly offensive to some people but i think our target audience appreciates them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the most ME footage which is even better Btw, GOSG was the mastermind behind this whole series. He did a kickass job on them so if you need any ideas or suggestions, he's a good resource.

Members wheresgrant3 Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 We spent $800 last spring for this and was pretty happy with the result (considering the sound quality is horrendous). 3 camera setup and we bused about 120 local followers into this 800 person capacity nite club from out of state. It had a nice wide stage and light setup. Sadly they stopped booking bands after this gig (haha, I guess we sucked)but thankfully we had a chance to gig there. It was the perfect place to shoot this: [YOUTUBE]oi5rJHnYDpI[/YOUTUBE] Right after this was added to our press kit we nailed three new rooms we were looking to get into.
