I’m pretty much done. I managed to make time stop long enough to record a one-take performance video, and get enough tracks down to hopefully honour my artist.

Huge thanks to Crumpet for taking my audio and video that didn’t want to keep in time with each other, and doing magic wizard moves to make everything wonderful again.

Side notes: Christ I have aged. And yes, it’s probably time to think about thinking about cleaning my guitar.

Also, I changed the perspective of my artists song a teensy bit, to make it a true gizo song. That is, I sang it from the inside looking out rather than vice versa.

Uploading mine now! I hope the content of the video doesn't get us in any trouble. But at least the song title is appropriate if it does.

Weirdo. If you want to see my face everyday you could just say and I’ll send you a silly video a couple of times a week.

I’ll do that for any of you.

Hey, did I just invent vlogging?

So I'm done and have uploaded. Any problems, let me know and I can resubmit. A few sync issues towards the end; but it just about works!

oh yeah I submitted my video a couple days ago, and then promptly submitted a version with a slightly better arrangement. For maximum confusion I might submit a third version right before the deadline.

FWIW - I don't think anyone is going to be saying that about my video.

I did some experimenting with some video apps I have. The result is a bit creepy.

Can’t wait.

(I assumed we’re also putting mp3s in the Dropbox with the video?)

I’ll take it. Will you sing to me? (Also, without giving anything away, there are other things I like about listening to your cover every day. It’s not all about seeing your face, nice as it is.)

Maximizing confusion potential by uploading a third version of the video with more fiddly timing fixes

I just posted mine. I admit it's a pretty big departure from the original.
