How to hoy together a football themed parody of a Video + Tiny reaction Video

Image
I have played several local bands over the years, usually as a base player, but I have always loved a good shred .  I have been experimenting with music video for a while.  Importantly, this is my first public appearance as guitarist since I played some Pantera in a scratch band at a wake in pub in Hexham many years ago, a small personal Rubicon paddled in if not altogether crossed.    It is a one take job, which hours of post production have not been lavished. It did unsettled Tiny, who dramatically threw himself out the frame to escape.  So gets his own video [above]. Just to be clear; it's a Digital musical arts gritty video parody of the contemporary zeitgeist effecting a longsuffering northern footballing community deprived of the physical means to express their frustration, set in a decaying empty concrete stadium against a backdrop a time of wider regional, national and international crisis.  To it's credit it is only 86 seconds long, it works just as well with the sound

Tiny Watches; Football

Tiny, a black and white cat is a very important part of the team, and his footprints can be found all over my work.  One of his vices is watching videos on YouTube, mainly nature and wildlife documentaries, and sometimes, if he's good I let him watch cartoons like Tom and Jerry, which is his favourite. He also watches football. Sadly, Newcastle United performances have been very dull, even cats gets bored with long ball football, and what with VAR, he has lost interest in this season.  I can't imagine how I going explain the concept of  relegation to him, so let's hope I don't have to.  Tiny Watches; Football  features Tiny and was edited & produced by Geoff Carter 03/04/2021 from the original Sept 2020 recording; one of many featuring Tiny watching video and other live media. 

Kevin MacLeod's Celtic Impulse with my Wind Blowing The Barley

Todays offering is 2.38 minutes of calm with Kevin MacLeod's Celtic Impulse and my wind blowing through a field of barley in Northumberland video, well, mostly barley.   Apologies for the resolution, I was testing out some rather poor kit bought on Ali Bongo as a web cam; so you will have to use your imagination.  So I present a rather blurry memory of summer 2020, a field in which I have an embarrassment of riches.   Celtic Impulse by Kevin MacLeod   Creative Commons — Attribution 4.0 International — CC BY 4.0 Free Download / Stream :  Music promoted by Audio Library
