Friday Night Grind: SMULE ReMix - Legendary Johnson

UPDATE: This video is the GRAND PRIZE WINNER for Smule's Freestyle Contest. Thanks for watching!

This is for the Smule Freestyle Contest. I rerecorded the song "Friday Night Grind" using only the human voice (mine) and Smule apps (I Am T-Pain, Ocarina). The video was shot using a standard def Hi8 video recorder and edited in Final Cut Pro, audio mixed in Logic Pro. Music and Lyrics by Doug Larsen. Video shot and edited by Doug Larsen.

Lyrics:
On a Friday night see you with your girls on the dance floor
Feet glued to the floor girl what a yawn
Well me and my boys we aren't doing much more
But everything changes when that song comes on

[chorus]
Cause you're grinding up on me
and I'm grind up on you
til we don't know who is who
I don't even know your name
but it's all the same
this is just the game we play it's the dance we do
On that Friday Night Grind

On a Monday morning see you with your pantsuit and a briefcase
Your Blackberry is so very boring so are you
I don't care because I'm wearing suit and tie in the same place
And I know on Friday night what you can do
Let me hear you say woah

[chorus]

This is excellent. Quite fantastic. This sets a new bar for quality videos. I have Final Cut, but it doesn't run very well on my MacBook and I need a bloody manuel to know what I'm doing. I need an iMac.

Just out of curiosity, the "multiple windows" effect. Is that tough to produce? I don't mean the filming because obviously that takes some detailed planning. I just mean setting up that effect.

Again, awesome work! Glad this won, so now maybe my Smuleman can will one of the last weeks! ;)

@Fainmaster its pretty simple it was just pre production and then in production its just scaling, 4 point mattes, centering, and key framing. most time is spent rendering depending on the power of your mac
