Introduction/videography

[Kevin Crawford]

Hey everyone, new to the site and wondering if anyone has any recommendations on recording performances for YouTube etc. this could be gear, camera angles, tips and tricks, etc. I'll include a link to my second attempt at this.

Good topic. I need help with this myself.

Here are a few suggestion- 

 

Using video editing software, intersperse video clips with your performance. Add video effects. I track audio separately from my video and link it later because I get better quality audio that way. Though I recently bought Vegas which is a video editing program for the PC. 

That program "sees" my recording plugins and might be ok to do both with. 

I want to do more of this, just not much time.

In some cases, if you don't have the option to make a decent live video simply record only the audio and play it to a video. You can buy video clips for this. A few can be found for free online.

Here's an example I made with another artist, Kelly Chadbourne.

I'm with you on trying to learn techniques, angles, places to shoot, etc. For this video we recorded the audio, then "lip-sang" the video. I tried shooting from a few different angles and used a technique in Final Cut Pro called Ken Burns, where it would slowly pan, or zoom to give a slightly moving effect...
