John Lilly | Tore Up From The Floor Up | Live At Duke's Bar Chicago
Just edited & uploaded a tune I shot at Duke's Bar in Chicago last August from my old pal John Lilly. This piece is yet another demonstration how just how easy & inexpensive it is to produce HD video with solid audio these days. We hooked up a Zoom digital audio recorder with signals going directly in, put one camera on a tripod in the corner (unmanned) and me on the handheld (monopod) camera. He also had a family member shooting still photos. From there, I used Final Cut Pro to edit.
And (once again), the fact that this piece was so easy to produce makes me ask again: Why don't more bands make the effort to produce quality content of their music? It sure costs a lot less than a night out partying, buying new guitars or amps or clothes or paying for lap dances or buying illegal substances or all the different ways most musicians spend money on ANYTHING else but their marketing. Baffling.
