I\u2019ve mentioned it a couple of times; now I have a proper update on it\u2019s status.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s finished!!!<\/p>\n
When we first started our cover recording of \u201cHotel California\u201d I had no idea how far it was going to go. It went from being something that just the two of us were working on, to something that nearly 20 people were involved in. To say we are proud of it is an understatement and a half.<\/p>\n
If you look at it in total days, the project took us almost a month, though to be fair the work wasn\u2019t done daily. But, we started in late March and finished in late April one way or another.<\/p>\n
Amras is a producer as a well as a musician, so the audio side of it was all his. Half the time I didn\u2019t even understand what he was doing when he was working with the recording software. Which was fair, because half the time he had no idea what I was doing with the video production software (there\u2019s some crossover in how the two programs work, but not quite enough to allow one to be fully compared to the other). It was a roller-coaster of a journey and we had our fair share of artistic clashes over the whole process.<\/p>\n
But in the end, we have come up with something that is\u2026quite frankly\u2026pretty brilliant.<\/p>\n
This evening we were running the sound the check in the small movie theatre onboard before screening the final product for those who helped us with it, and we saw the first frames of the music video come up on the big screen. We may or may not have bounced up and down like small children. It was, without a doubt, one of the<\/p>\n
My favourite moment of the evening was sitting at the back of that theatre, watching everyone else finally get to see this really cool thing that we had made, and feeling<\/em> their reactions. Watching them laugh in the right place, be startled in the right places. And thinking \u201chey, we did that, we made<\/em> that!\u201d<\/p>\n We have created something that people really seem to like, that might help people feel better, and that is pretty amazing.<\/p>\n Now, comes the annoying news for some of you: we can\u2019t show you yet. I know, I know, I\u2019m not happy about it either, but this is really<\/em> important to us and we have<\/em> to do it right. That means ponying up the fees to get the rights to be able to put the product on youtube so that it can be streamed and shared. We can\u2019t post it anywhere until we do that, and that\u2019s a long process.<\/p>\n So soon. Not yet. But soon<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amras and I have been working on what turned out to be a very big project during our time here.
