I'm in with a video that stretches the definition of "live recording" to an extreme, and I'm reworking the mix for the fight proper so it'll sound better, hopefully.

Let’s pretend I’m a bit of an idiot - do I just email the video to fight master too?

Or is there a separate method for that one?

I've submitted a video using the form. I only had a few hours to write and record the song, so apologies for the rough recording. I'm also joined by a star guest, in at a blatant attempt to grab a few votes :-D.

Submitted, with a song about my favourite contemporary action star. I kind of screwed up the title line after all that, but you get the idea. Its a song about a movie where people who go to work with balaclavas on.

I think several of us screwed up the title line.

I got the title correct and never say the words “behind” or “mask” in the entire song

but I do use “a” a lot

I used "behind *your* mask", but titled it "Behind a Mask" because I'm inconsistent.

Oh I see. So our videos will be part of a live fight today, and then we will be submitting these by Thursday for an official fight. I like this. Maybe I will add some corrections and flourishes. My video editor Shotcut has some fun hokey effects.

I meant to say SENT in an updated mix (because I did), I wasn't just loudly issuing commands. But yes! I stayed mostly "live" for the video but re-did the vocals and added some extra layers for the regular fight version.

I don't think anyone will think any aspect of my video is live but I'm still looking forward to people seeing it. I'm really proud of what I made, especially in such a short time.

I still may obey the loud command version. Especially if í can get some friends to join live

I like my song enough that I think I might do a full new arrangement and recording, for fun.
