This goes for about $349 online and stores. I must say this is a well designed device and worth every penny. It’s a great device for films as you have to sync this up to your videos. It’s great for creating music because you can put your headphones on, hear yourself very loud (helps when creating vocal melodies), and record it. Instead of those cheap recorders that distorts on playback, this one won’t do it as you can adjust your levels, add compression if you want, a limiter, and you can extract it via wav or mp3. In addition, it has 2 XLRs with phantom power. It’s basically a mini 4 channel mixer. Technology today is so nice that there’s no excuse why you can’t create.
Just awesome for the price. I recommend this to any musician, film creators, songwriters, and producers.
I’m pretty convinced that this music industry is just getting harder and harder in becoming successful. You would think just like any successful business, you need to have the right people to work beside you to make it happen. It’s just that, in music, with the right people, you still have very high potential chance in failing. Supposedly, you have a better chance of being a Brain Surgeon or astronaut than being a superstar. Now, I don’t need to be discouraging, it’s just the facts of life.
I believe how I will achieve success in the entertainment market (which I love so much) is by taking a new route. Something I also enjoy doing lately which is writing, directing, and producing films. I’ve been on the grind on that level where I’ve been practicing, learning, and continue to further my self-motivation in educating myself to create great films. To think I started off video blogging to making films blows my mind. But I’m falling in love again(almost cheating). But the music business have jumped into the wild wild west where nobody really knows how to become successful. I know people with such a big network of people, credibility, and still can’t make it happen in today’s market. Though film and music go hand to hand, film requires more patience, more work, more creativity, and more of everything else than music. Unlike music, you can’t finish a film in a day. Or do post production in a day. There’s a huge difference in the work ethics for film as far as people and I believe it’s such a turn on to lean more towards that route.
In music, I just don’t know why musicians, artists, writers, and even producers who are trying to be established slack off sooooo much. Their mind says they love music and want to do it, but their actions speaks for itself. And I can tell you, the people I’m dealing with now, nobody is there right now. I thought of becoming my own Artist, and I believe I can do it much better than so many right now. But I just don’t love being an Artist, I don’t love performing or care for it. Because my heart isn’t there compared to writing and producing, morally it won’t sit in well for me. But film has taken a new turn in my career and I believe “Journey To Success” will be leaning there. It’s not confirmed as I like to have some Reels to show. And if it comes out great where I feel I have the nack for this, it will be confirmed that my priority will be films and since I do produce music, I’ll be scoring on my own films as well.
Lets see how that turns out =) If only there was a Recording Artist that had more drive than the average human being, maybe it would just be a different story. Again, remember, you can be managed, produced, be under a major label, but if have the mind frame of being pushed by someone else and think they will make you successful, you got it all wrong!
Again, this is only a test scene. I only concentrated on the cinematography. It took us 15 minutes to shoot, 15 hrs to edit. I was very unorganized on getting the clips/audio together. But this practice was the point of why I did it to find a certain workflow, understanding, organization, and creativity.
I am writing a short film and understand is very important. I now know what to do to be more organized. Next short film clip will be the actual one that will be presented to film festivals and so forth. Again, this was captured on the 5d Mark II, no matte box, no rails, just my 85mm lens, tripod, and camera. I will be building a dolly for better creativity cinematography.
Reminder, please ignore the audio quality and ACTING. This was only a quick test to get some ideas and workflow methods.
This is only a test of my cinematography abilities. Learning how to convert 30p to 24p, color grade, and establishing a workflow dynamics in CS3. So as part of my Journey to success, I am writing a short film. So since this will be my first, I’m practicing as much as I can. This video shows one of my practices that took me about 10 min to shoot, and a few hours to edit as I’m still learning how to do it correctly =) Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
Here’s a song that I wrote months ago. My Artist Stefanna, who’s 16 yrs old with incredible vocal abilities, is ready to do some live shows. This video is in my recording studio where we were rehearsing just to rehearse. I thought she did so great that I thought she was ready to do a live performance at a place in the city called the Sugarbar.
It’s a pretty high end place where they do Thursday night open mics with a lot of great acts. So I’ll be having her perform and see where it goes. I hope you guys enjoy the song titled “Crazy Love”. If you guys like this video, please do share it and please subscribe to my website and youtube channel. Thank you
