Drummer Boy (Christmas Eve 2011)

This was one heck of a video to edit.  I ended up with 13 video tracks laid in the editor together and was struggling to get my computer to even play, let alone play well enough to edit.  I ended up doing a proxy edit, creating a lower quality file, and tricking the software to edit on the low quality footage, but render with the high quality footage.  I tracked audio externally with a portable 2 track recorder, but ended up liking how raw one of the wideshot cameras audio was.  It’s rough, but it reflects a live performance and seemed to fit better.  All in all this video is one of my top performers statistically, and Jason and the creative arts team at Dayspring did a great job pulling this one off.

 

p.s.  Don’t bail on this one until you get to the drum break at 2:30.  It may change your life.
