there is madness at the end of the world

as promised, here is more of the video from monday night. this is a husband wife duo called star called sun. i still think they should rename the band sun called star but i'm kind of a goof ball.



again, i wish i was more confident shooting with a tripod. i used to be a pretty good at it. when i was in high school, i helped out at my local suburban mega church and piloted the beta cam that sent a signal to the giant projected image that hung over the pastor's stage.



yeah. my humble beginnings. it was the only period in my life where i attended church on a regular basis. i sat through 2 or 3 sermons a week! and when that i got old, i started doing audio for the youth group meetings. i remember one lesson in particular because a key point required me to play a song off a cd. many youth group lessons actually included a cd selection but this one was daring because it included a secular selection. one hit wonder the verve pipe and their hit single, freshmen. the song was already 2 or 3 years dated at the time of the lesson so it was particularly strange. especially because the twenty somethings really felt like they were being edgy by playing it.

not sure where that was going. maybe it all points back to the subject of the song. i kind of like the end of the world, too.

erin sings

i filmed this at open mic. it is tricky to be the host and film at the same time but it was a slow night so i pulled it off.



this was the first time i used a tripod in a long time. i think next time around, i will be more confident.

the first time i exported this video, i forgot to mix down the audio correctly and i got all mono sound in left channel. it makes sense because i took a single line off the mackie boardand plugged it into the left channel. that means, i should have brought the .mov file into a final cut pro sequence before bringing it into compressor.

or, i might be able to find a 'mono' output option in compression. that could work.
