Robby (@ArtOfLosingMFZB... the blonde one) and I covering Because, by The Beatles. The video style was inspired by Pomplamoose's idea of a videosong; in which every instrument and effect is shown. Of course, they're better at video editing than I am. :) The only non-shown effect is software based reverb on the acoustic guitar, equalization on the electric, and we didn't record Robby triple-tracking the voices (though I wish we had :) ). Jack and Nataly, if you ever happen to read this - how do YOU show reverb and equalization?
Things I have learned: always tune your guitars to standard, not to each other. Ocarinas are already tuned to a standard scale. To keep the song in tune, every single one of those ocarina notes had to be pitch-bent. What a pain in the ass!
EDIT: Apparently we pulled this off so well that youtube thinks it's the original and is giving me copyright trouble. Wild.

Simple awesome

Hey guys, holla from London. This is great. And definitely good video editing too - for slow songs you don't want to do anything too fancy like Pomplamoose. We've just put together our first Videosong, very Beatles influenced (but an original). Have a watch and let us know if you like it!

NIce one chaps.

Great version! Spot on, I would say. Nailed the harmonies!

Very well done. Beautiful, artful, and moderately funny (given all the faces Robby makes. I actually added it to my favorites.

Hi! I saw your video (first of all congratulations for your interpretation, that is very reminiscent of Elliot Smith), I interpreted the same song a few days ago, and about the video we had the same idea, but unfortunately I did not understand what the program which to make a video with multiple parts. So I ask you this: what program did you use?
Thank U :)

@TiiCherry After ripping our hair out trying to figure out Avidemux and Blender, we finally caved and used a friend's copy of Sony Vegas - which worked fantastically for the video.
