TRAINing 2 - Fast And Crazy

This was actually going to be my second YouTube video but I kept putting it off because time lapse and stop motion video can be hard to do without the right equipment and experience. Then I discovered www.pond5.com recently when making my Monster Man video so I decided to abuse my credit card again . . . I mean . . . stimulate the economy to make this video! ;-)

The music is all done with one pass of Korg DS-10. Audio EQing etc done in WaveLab5. Video editing done in Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum.

I hope you enjoy this! Thanks for watching, rating and commenting!

Super tune and video John, I have always been fascinated by time-lapse video.

Thanks much, I love time lapse too! (obviously ;-))

I love this piece's frenetic energy and urgency, and your video production values are getting better each time! Love the carnival fun house shot - goes by so fast it's just right.

You should put a quick clip of the DS-10 in their somewhere for fun too...never seen one.

Thank you my dear friend! My video productions are probably going to take several steps backwards for a while until I can afford to buy more vid clips or gear ! ;-)

The 'carnival house' sign is actually a sign at the train station in Tacoma! It's kind of creepy and I was thinking that at Halloween they should have the lower torsos/legs of dummys hanging out of the mouths! ;-) Watch TRAINing 1 at around the 4:35 mark to see that sign again.

Lot's of DS-10s on YT but I'll try to do one 2.

John, I really like your train videos. When I was a child my house was 20 yards away from a Union Pacific spur line that provided transportaion for sugar beets and onions going to market from the local farms. I used to love to put my ear to the track and listen for on-coming trains. My best friend and I would test each other to see if we could tell how far away the trains were by listening. I would love to have a recording of that sound now to make music with.

Thanks much, Nathaniel! It would be fun to experiment with some different contract mics on some railroad rails but it might be hard to get approval near the terminal . . . might need to do it gorilla style out in the sticks! ;-)

Awesome video--5*

Favorited!

This rocks on so many levels. Score, edits, shot compositions,

all combine to make a totally impressive 1:59 experience.

***** + another 5 because I watched it 2x!

Thx for the DS-10 link - yeah I see them now, and I should know everything's on YouTube - No! I want you to make me a video! LOL...

That's on creepy billboard, they should drop one of the vowels in the name and call it "FRIGHTHOUSE SQUARE", love to see the legs protruding at Halloween. Maybe prosthetic twenty foot tongues poking in and out, with red lights for eyes flashing?
