    The Unofficial Song of the Day Thread

    One of the all time great songs - and there's something special about it acoustic. Though, not going to lie - I can't for the life of me figure out Bruce's affinity for the only significant foreign acoustic guitar company... Especially when every other Springsteen song is about losing jobs...

    I dig it, haha. Reminded me of one of my favorite videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOEKBC1JPz4

    editing Music Videos - Creating Audio Visually

    Great examples - thanks Alcove! So I started a new series today - where I'm releasing analog recordings of my favorite folk songs. So, I tried my hand at what we have been discussing here. I just went with a simple radio tuner - for some reason, it seemed apt given the intentional crudeness of...

    How to Wisely Invest

    Congratulations on finishing high school! I too am heading to film school this fall, so maybe my input is right up your alley, since we're in the same boat. I think it's important to invest in equipment that will be valuable to you both in and out of school. That's why I'd actually suggest...

    sound ...Whole World in His Hands Cover

    I'm not a 1950's 14 year old boy with an English accent - But I'm always up an oddball project. What is the reason for the recording? And yes, a certain level of licensing is certainly required to utilize a cover version of anything.

    Monitoring Headphones?

    I utilize the AKG K240's both for monitoring my film editing and my music production - They were fantastic. Essentially, those are just a tier lower than the AKG's you're considering. Oh, and AudioPost is right - mixing entirely on headphones can fire back on you later on. I'd consider just...

    editing Music Videos - Creating Audio Visually

    Interesting - So it sounds like all of us could use someone who has some ideas on how to create visuals like this! I agree that stock footage would likely be too difficult - it's such a fine line with that stuff to make sure it doesn't LOOK like you just threw stock footage together.

    Moire, in a big-budget movie?

    Thanks Chimp, that was incredibly helpful. Now I see what we're discussing. I think the first time it was noticeable to me, though, was at 0:47 with the suit - the pattern got all jumbled up. However, I probably wouldn't have ever recognized it if I hadn't been looking for it or known what it...

    editing Music Videos - Creating Audio Visually

    Hey Everyone, So I've noticed in recent years, at an increasing rate, most bands and artists release a Youtube video for their early singles on albums, and the video is often either a static image of the album art, or a video that utilizes the audio to create the visuals. This tactic is a nice...

    music video motivation

    The first time I was hired to be the sound engineer / producer of a local band, I despised their music. In fact, I don't even include the work anywhere in my portfolio, and that doesn't bother me. I went in, did my job, their album sounded nice, and landed me a couple gigs later on recording...

    archived-videos 8 BITS: Stand Up Comedy

    As you know, like Zensteve, I've also advocated to you in the past to connect them together in some way - The consistency of a series could be achieved exceptionally well if you establish characters and run it like a webshow. I think that'd be a brilliant idea, and certainly a step up from the...

    Moire, in a big-budget movie?

    Incoming - Major terminology-noob is landing! Be gentle! What exactly am I looking for when we say "moire"? I'm having trouble locating in the video what we're discussing. Is it when the camera skips frames in order to compensate for reducing the size that it was initially shot on? That's the...

    De noiseing

    Neat Video indeed works well for this. You can purchase all sorts of versions on their website. Personally, I use a program called Sound Soap. It's a bit more tailored to music production, but it implements well as a standalone program for audio or as a plugin to most DAW's - So, I use it for...

    Facebook Ads

    I wouldn't necessarily put that past Facebook... I remember a long, long time ago I threw like $10 at it for fun, to see what would happen. I got like 3 or 4 likes more than usual that week. But on an off week, I'll lose those away anyway. Nothing can substitute for man hours!

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    I hope so! But at the same time, I feel content with the G'ould and Ori being gone. (Though they were damn good storylines I'd always love to see more of! And the Wraith are pretty much finished up from Atlantis. I think my only wish would be the expansion of the Ori plots. Those were absolutely...

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    This is certainly a good point. That's how I feel about rebooting Doctor Who - I'm so very glad they did!

    Nice sketch, as usual! Random question from someone who has clearly never animated anything besides a powerpoint slide: What's the creative process like for making these? What kind of software do you use and how does it all end up a final product?

    Social Media Promotion

    So, do you know what's good about your project, and why you like it? It seems like you yourself may be hazy on that, or else answering those questions would be a bit easier. Why would you want to watch your project? What hooks you to create it? That should be relatively the same as the fans for...

    Social Media Promotion

    Guerrilla hit the nail on the head. There's a reason there are guides and whatnot - marketing is much less personal than I think you want it to be. Marketing is a formulaic process that requires a vast understanding of your targeted consumer. If you want to build an audience around your film...
