Really nice sense of space in the song, video cleverly edited together. And in double quick time. My (our) last one took 3 months! And yes it distracted from music creation. But you need image with music. Great job.
Cheers Peter, yes i feel the same need images with music...

Really like this - cool track and great video - i wonder sometimes if people realize just how long these videos take to pull together.?
Anyway, great stuff
Nigel
Thank you Nigel 🙂
i am using 17 tracks in the song to vary the sounds to have flowing transitions which were difficult with this song, then it just came together real fast. Reality the song is i am the four peace band but i added FX for ambiences. The production with layering different vocals did take up probably 10 tracks. Song tuck me a week from start to finish ( write mix and master)
Video was about three days work . However i had stock video of the model and the 3D spaceship to save time. The rest i shot on my sony phone and webcam with a green sheet for green screen. The 2D spaceships, i created in photoshop like the eye, then animated, also used track and masking with keyframes, that took most of the time with green screen work. Iv'e worked out how to track and mask video, not great but i understand things better, its very time consuming so i don't go OTT. My friend spent a whole year doing one 15min animation as a project at uni. I use my phone which is not ideal and the green screen you really need a studio so no shadows. Video editing is very similar to music in a kind of way. You could take ages doing a video or soundtrack) hire models or bands and equipment is a mission on its own. I guess a video storyboard could take days to write.
The stumpers song and animation i did, put me off doing animation as that took a month which distracted me from music but i like to learn new stuff long the way, helps with the creative mind

Hi Noel
Memorise The Protocol - My Latest track & Music video i finished today - I've only ever used cakewalk (NEW USER) for about 6 months now and this is my 6th production. I am so loving cakewalk, amazing DAW and free :-) which as allowed me to get creative and actually learn to use a DAW.

Brilliant! Loved everything about it. As someone who's in the middle of animating our next song I can appreciate the work that's gone into this. When's your next one coming out?????? 😀
Memorise The Protocol i put on here today, different vibe but still fun...

Mixed it up a bit with this vibe, flowing from soft indie/rock to a spoken or soft rap/hip/hop type vibe. Flows well i think and tells the story.... Some nice bits of lead guitar in the break, i really wanted to extend it, but kept it simple and seems to work with subtle driving bass in parts... I really wanted to fly a spaceship haha

Wow, the next time I need a few guitarists I should try to find aliens. I have no idea how you made the cartoon video but I like it.
I can see why he liked it. Nice!
I did the animation, took me ages. I could do better and higher quality but takes so long. However i do like doing animation and music

I call Portland men stumpies for not unobvious reasons. For some reason your video wouldn't play, just got the spinning circle.
Try refresh its youtube or your system lagging

Sweet home in ' bama indeed! It does have that southern rock feel to it. Performance was done very well and the mix sounds great to me! I enjoyed the video as well.
For a Yorkshire guy you captured that southern (Dixie) rock sound. The Lawson and Peacock side of my family hail from Yorkshire. Thumbs up on this one!
I spent a bit of time at Zephyrhills skydiving, then stayed at Fortbragg for a month training before having 2 weeks holiday at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina’s Atlantic coast, awesome place. i was pretty juiced up on Jack Daniel's with a few navy seals and British para's, i can't really remember too much, was a bit of a blur and mad party's haha

Memorise The Protocol (What you think guys)
in Songs
Posted
Funny you say that Tom, i had more problems with the last spoken section with backing singing in background (end chorus section) I had to create loads of space with panning and EQ. Could only get it to work one way due the music being busy but its what i actually wanted, just took ages to mix and master, well longer than any other song ive done, im getting more ***** and picky. Pushing the vocal up on automation and dropping the backing wasn't working or dropping the music created mud. So i totally change the pro channel EQ mastering and panning with automation or it was either really to loud top end losing the bass or to quite (muffy and muddy) when mastering. This is my 6th song on ever using a DAW so my learning curve be crazy with brain overload, im still getting to grips and need to go back to trusting my ears more and not over complicated things.
