This is, basically, a video as well as a music experiment. First, I was trying to get more pixels out of my standard definition camera by capturing two videos, side by side, and then compositing them into one wide screen output. I got a third more pixels without cropping or blowing up SD video.

Second, I greenscreened out my black (real) backdrop and replaced it with a CGI black backdrop for a uniform background that makes the foreground colors pop. Dark materials in the shots become transparent for some interesting effects when composited against the contents of another shot.

Third, I recorded an audio outline of the tune first then replaced each part with a live performance. Kind of a karaoke bass, then karaoke rhythm guitar and so on until I replaced the prerecorded tune for an all-me-live-band.

  • Good song and playing, good production my friend, keep up the good work!

  • Thanks for taking a look at my video! I checked out your channel videos. I'd really like to hear a demo of your DX100 Roger Troutman rig. I used to have a DX21(basically the same thing except full size keys and a splitable keyboard).

  • This is a great song. Could be mainstream. The Lyrics give me goosebumps.

  • Wow! Thanks for the compliments and for taking in the lyrics. I appreciate that!

  • great tune man! How you learned to do all that??

  • Thanks for checking out my tune! It took many years to get where I am today. Keep at it!

  • this song was a blessing bro,

  • This is great!

  • @WeakEndProductions I will putting together a video using the DX100 soon. When it's ready I will let you know. Funny thing I also own a DX21, I put it away because it is in mint condition with all its accessories.

  • Thanks for checking out my video. My original tune videos don't seem to get the response that my 'how-to' ones get. So thanks for taking the time to take a look a look and the nice comment!
