Bach: Brandenburg Concerto 3 - 1 with 10 melodica tracks and live video for 9 parts

With 10 solo parts divided into three trio groups and continuo, this semi-lengthy movement required the use of at least 9 individual video tracks in order to make it work. Because of the natural size restrictions that embedded video presents, I needed to make three sets of individual movies with 3 soloists each and then mix them together. This pushed the boundaries of my computer processor, software, hardware, and most of all my patience, but all in all it was a very rewarding piece to work on. The original parts are covered and positioned like this:

Violin 1,2,3: Alto Melodica: Right to left, standing, orange shirt
Viola 1,2,3: Alto Melodica: Right to left, standing, blue shirt
Cello 1,2,3,: Bass Melodica: Left to right, sitting, blue shirt, haircut
Continuo: Bass Melodica: Not shown

You should get shirts with a picture of the instrument on it, so you can wear a violin shirt for recording the violin parts, a shirt with a cello on it for the cello parts, etc. I think that would be pretty neat!

@EthanDavidson That is a great idea.

You are my hero.

@JulietGrabowski Thanks, Juliet. I recognize your name from the BYSO alum pages. I am also a former BYSO clarinettist. Small world, huh.
