Ragamuffin: In Storage Acoustic Video

epictring

Acoustic video we recorded the weekend, nothing big production wise. We only had about 30mins to shoot in the location and for that I'm happy with the results - other than YouTube causing audio sync problems no matter what I try. A bit experimental as well with regards to camera shooting style.

Here ya go, let me know what you think

Oh and some links if you're interested in our stuff (we're working on an album release)

Wow, what an epic track!!! Loved it!!

The FB link you posted doesn't work (but the one in your sig does).

On the video, great concept. Some of the zooms and movement weren't my favourite. But as a pro video guy I may just be nitpicky. Also... Where is the drummer? ??? Poor guy ?

Love that SA has such kiff talent! ?

Attila

Damn man that's fantastic. Loved everything

AlanRatcliffe

Thank you guys, really appreciate the great feedback a lot! We've had a really good response to the video that surpassed my expectations.

Yes, this was filmed in the music building at the University of Pretoria.

He was probably still setting up ?

OK I've listened to this a few times now. Still like it. ? A lot.

Only thing that comes through to me now is there's a little bit of hesitation in the femaile singer's (Eden?) voice. She's quite unusual/quirky, style-wise and reaches for things most wouldn't, but she seems to lack conviction now and again - and as a result doesn't always nail them. She'll be wonderful once she builds her confidence a little more though.

Thanks for that Alan! She is quite different. I'll pass the feedback on.

Liked & shared - still a beeg fan of the tune playing in the credits (Aesthetically Wrong...?) - absolutely kickass tune :bopping:

+1 for the Newsletter link, would have slipped by me otherwise!

AlanRatcliffe

Pleasure.

BTW, the FB link in your first post in this thread is broken...

+1 to all the replies posted. This is what music videos are all about. I wanna see the artists actually playing. Don't need clever computer camera work/ naked chicks rolling on the beach/ explosions/movie clips/ whatever. Well, . . .OK, I'll reconsider about the chicks., But what I mean is great song writing, great performance, I was drawn right into the space and the song.Only one piece of (constructive) criticism, - I feel there were a few lost opportunities for more lead guitar infills and riffs. You guys are doing it RIGHT. !
