The making of a song -- Andrew Belle & Windows

[Missiewindows07]

Pico Windows 7 and Windows Seven Loves This Song! <3

And Microsoft Windows 7!

[Stayjones]

Pena que toda esta tecnologia é tao cara no Brasil!

Senão a Microsoft tava bem mais rica e os brasileiros mais felizes!

[NonnProductions]

These are the computers at my school! Ha!

[BeigeOlaf]

Fabian Manzano (Boyce Avenue) sent me!!!!

[MrKevinRADshaw]

Sounds like Silver coin by Angus and Julia stone.

[MajaAngel92]

my fav song!!!

[Les2106]

[xmorganbros]

[shehannf]

[14589sumedh]

Amazing Ad

[alalchemist]

Thumbs up if Andrew's dad brought you here :P

[shavette27]

THE BEST WINDOWS COMMERCIAL BY FAR!!!!!!

I LOVE ANDREW BELLE His voice is an describable Pleasure!!!

[mentonerodominicano]

Where can I get this song!

[cubby1996]

@mentonerodominicano The song's free on Zune.

[achea10]

This is the best Windows commercial ever

[TheMisa98]

Sorry but i have to say this, i am not a Mac hater but most people who switch to Mac OS is because of the software (Final Cut Pro etc) because they don't want to spend thousands of dollars for the software. Insted they could buy the software for there existing computer (WIndows) instead of having to buy a new one. Am i right?

[PatchesOfBluex]

I love Andrew Belle, he is amazing <3

[eveaay]

He wears TOMS. that just made me smile ;)

[emzaaaxo]

he is so amazing

[ewva314]

This song is awesome. But I bet he would have had an easier time creating on a MAC!!!. Apple is life!

[ewva314]

Where can I buy the song?!?!?!?!

[thatoneshadykid]

@ewva314 It's free on MS's website! Just Google "Andrew Belle Microsoft" without quotes and it's the second result down.

[Willsterdude3000]

@jenwww Because the Webcams they use are from Microsoft - This video OS to promote Microsoft products, which is why they are using Windows Phones, Internet Explorer, Zune etc.

[scotthallett]

Was the editing of this video done with Movie Maker Live? All the transitions and effects? Wonder what equip was used for the recordings???

[clois95]

That's ths most beautiful song I've ever heard ;)

[aceinthehole9999]

So basically, it takes an entire team from Microsoft and all the crap that comes with them to make a song... or what everyone else in the creative industry has already figured out: a simple Apple laptop.

[winjoxx]

@aceinthehole9999 that didn't make any sense, this has nothing to do with the microsoft team? you obviously don't understand the video.

[mhbcru08]

@aceinthehole9999 It was written and recorded on a mac. They just paid for him to tour in a bus, and gave him and his friends a laptop equipped with windows to make it look like they created it using Windows.

[L0L0rox]

Pure inspiration.

[annapierlot]

wow. I love your voice!

[mindovercriminal1122]

love love love this song so much

andrew belle is my fav artist!

[jenwww]

why all need webcam and the laptop already had 1 built in

[odarc1r]

Great video. Shows the possible diversity of Windows 7. Nice concept. Song is very nice too. Sounds Coldplay-ish.

[alvaritooooooooo]

???

[Ralpad1]

awesome 

[Klaooos]

pzry refrenie mam ciarki,dobra produkcje Endriu.

[Higherdal0312]

Where do i get this song....love it!

[Telecaster17]

I'd just like to point out that Andrew uses an iPhone on stage. :)

[Willsterdude3000]

Wow, this video is amazing. It shows the power of Microsoft products.

[darling2127]

this video is nice

[Thesaakeman]

Ubuntu can also do this, not to sound like a Linux trasher, but Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 alpha 3 is just like windows in another form...

[Disinf3ctant]

Microsoft is kicking apple's ass.

[Slave2Coldplay]

I like the concept of the video

[evmiller12]

I would like to marry him.

[TerezaMarco]

i really love this song!!!! andrew belle is amazing artist!!

[angiixo20025]

Beautiful song. Not only is it awesome but andrew is adorable.....that smile..... all have to say is wow, and i truly mean it -wow :)

[sgtparfitt]

Anyone thought of Ubuntu?

[ntaglemusic]

Andrew, I honestly think I'm love <3

[sid45ultra9292]

I've talked to his dad quite a bit.

[nakedvolleyball]

But, really TEN days to write a song? That's a short process. Or the song is just a dildo song.

[Ticomfreak]

MY COUSINS HAVE THE COMPUTER STARTING A 1:29

[ifaizahmadkhan]

I Luv Windows :)

[midnightgr]

this is cosplay coldplay

[30thchapter]

i taught this video was about something related to audio production application or software. windows still left behind in this field.

[nakedvolleyball]

@30thchapter There's plenty of music software for windows, you just have to look.

[ifaizahmadkhan]

#Luv Microsoft Inc :)

[PlRATEBAY]

What? Do you use IE? You must be crazy.

[PlRATEBAY]

Bet they iMovie or Final cut to make this.

[krfilms]

@PlRATEBAY actually we cut this in Adobe After Effects on a PC :) It's way better than iMovie or FCP.

[Court5506]

love the song! can't wait til it's released!!

[krfilms]

@Court5506 The song is available for free download, hurry and download it on Zune Marketplace

[tweetyaja]

Andrew Belle and Windows - Now Available at iTunes

[danielayoung13]

I love Andrew belle so much! Such a good song

[Henrylouis16]

zune.com will not let me download this song, because i'm in canada... I'm like 10 miles north of the border, what the hell is the difference between me and some random town in the middle of the midwest?

[nizacker]

vaya que si, este es el mejor anuncio de Windows :D!

[btnerd]

Windows have awsome commercials.

[Henrylouis16]

ahh where can i get this song

[krfilms]

@Henrylouis16 Zune

[xamxam160]

[winjoxx]

damn awesome!! 

[0KommerzGandalf0]

@winjoxx afaik you can download the song for free on the zune homepage

it is called "sky still blue"

[krfilms]

@winjoxx Search it on the zune marketplace website, it's free

[starflyer425]

Very nice.  Enough of this "Apple only" meme among musicians - I've been using Windows for years to make music and share ideas.

[nakedvolleyball]

@starflyer425 Not sure of your use of the word "meme" in that context. Maybe the word "mantra" would go better there. But I know plenty of musicians, photographers and filmmakers that use windows exclusively.  And I'm not talking about amateurs.

[candysamuels]

Hey Andrew, great video!!! love it!!

[FrenkBreuer]

Hey Andrew Belle and band...great work here!!! enjoy it as good as you can!

[purplemurple04]

To the 4 people that disliked this: You must be severely challenged.

[rolandlt]

That is soooo funny to think that this guys is plagerizing Chris Martin's style...Coldplay's style is totally awesome, but it was created 337 BC. Have not found an artist that has duplicated Andrew Belle's style or music. Definitely one of the best artists out there..I would say it is almost better than Goodnight Argent, and that is really gooood.

[JRFortson777]

@rolandlt AMEN!!!

[briant14164]

Los Macs tienen cámara integrada.

[jls1337]

@briant14164 so does my thinkpad, so whats your point?

[drgdrf]

Why is this guy trying to plagiarise Coldplay's style?

[blackMark001]

touch my body

[66jlopez]

lies, this was APPLE based, windows sucks in video editing and less in audio

[piratesmvp]

@66jlopez video and audio editting depend more on the hardware than OS these days.

[66jlopez]

@piratesmvp yeah right, i tried sony vegas and adobe premier on 12 win7 machines and not a single render succeed

[piratesmvp]

@66jlopez And what were the specs of your Windows 7 machines?

[66jlopez]

@piratesmvp windows 7 with 6gb ram, core i7 2.93ghz processor(quad core), ati radeon hd 5770, 256gb ssd, 1tb hdd

[pascbjumper2]

@66jlopez Almost identlicle build as mine. You SSD is way larger though, I stuck with the 30 gig. Same processor, the 870, and I went for 8 gig of RAM. Nice build. =]

[piratesmvp]

@66jlopez Then I have a hard time believing you that "not a single render succeed."

[jls1337]

@66jlopez perhaps you need to RTMF?

[princeace2007]

@66jlopez i use windows 7 on my laptop and use mac as a desktop and sony vegas doesn't work to well on my mac but windows 7 renders my videos in less than an hour and i make long videos lol

[diskserious]

@princeace2007 You should check out Cakewalk Sonar (Windows only and it works great!). I have been using various versions of their software on Windows for years and have never had any issues with performance or stability.  If you take your music seriously, you should check it out.

[98animefan]

@66jlopez I bet you've never tried windows 7 before

[66jlopez]

@98animefan i unfortunately use windows 7 for school and it is slower than windows 98

[98animefan]

@66jlopez well then use the computer you prefer then. not my problem

[66jlopez]

@98animefan thats what i though

[diskserious]

@66jlopez

Sounds like your school needs to hire some better IT people.

[MadSupra354]

@66jlopez WTF are you talking about? Apple have never been any more or less the worst for video editing.

[66jlopez]

@MadSupra354 apple includes a useful video editor free with purchase of mac os or a mac

[tjsteadicamjr]

@66jlopez I hate to tell you this but I was a part of the video team, and they edited the entire project in After Effects on a PC... it was actually a fantastic way to edit.

[ZatchFan83]

Impressive. Beautiful. Distinct. Lovely. Thank you <3

[winjoxx]

wow, nice made! srsly, im impressed!

[JRFortson777]

My son (Andrew) is NOT promoting this version of the song, fyi, b/c he altered his actual NEW unreleased song JUST for this clip with key lyrics (Cloud, Blue, Window, etc) for Microsoft. The REAL song won't be out till sometime in 2011 :)

[TheRupee]

@JRFortson777 i love your work and your son gave me shiver!! what a beautiful voice!

[JRFortson777]

@TheRupee Thanks! We are all his fans now :)

[cavinsays]

@JRFortson777 Hopefully he uses a Mac for the real song. :)

[LuckyLuxy]

Great song!

[muteza]

Wow !

[Malvis4]

I see Allen Stone!

[murilomartinsjlle]

awesome video

[TheMatt7000]

Beautiful! :)

[chapplemat]

I use this all the time, but mainly to save me having to email things to myself. It's really cool seeing what you can do with Windows Live! What puts me off is the email, all my new messages end up in my deleted items folder so using it just become a chore.

[victorteles95]

Ok, great video, great song. But I just want to know wich software did he use to edit the song. It must be very expensive, 'cause I was trying to edit a song on Windows and I used 2 different softwares, Audacity and Camtasia Audio Editor, and I just couldn't edit! It was really really hard, so I borrowed my friend's Mac and I edited using GarageBand, soo simple. Look, I'm not a fanboy, I just want to know how can I edit my songs in a simple way!

[krfilms]

@victorteles95 Protools is available on PC

[victorteles95]

@krfilms yeah, and it is expensive as I said

[jls1337]

@victorteles95 audio editing and multitrack recording/mixing require different tools. What are you trying to accomplish?

[victorteles95]

@jls1337 well, actually it was just a little song only with vocal and guitar, and it was hard to edit, errors and BSODs....

[jls1337]

@victorteles95 I personally use Ableton Live, it works on both Windows and Mac check out the youtube channel AbletonInc

[thefgd2]

Nice!

[krfilms]

Wow, this is really cool. Love the music

[shoaebhameed]

love you Windows 7
