RSS feedVog #4 is of last week when I was almost late for my radio show. Instead of just making it a doco/blog post piece, I played with the medium a little.
On one level the video takes me through various stages, or doors to get closer to the show. Not in real time though, instead it compresses about 15 minutes into 1 minute.
The audio however compresses about 3 minutes into 1 minute, and starts and ends when the video does, the last scene in fact synchronising them. The soundtrack is actually a recording of the radio show, not the on camera audio, and goes through incremental filter changes at each door I go through, which is supposed to give the impression of getting closer and closer to the sound source, or the show. I did a first version without this, just the high quality audio, and the whole clip seemed like a music video and was very pacy, which wasn’t too bad, but fairly boring. (For the techos, I used a decrementing high pass filter at about 15K, 9K, 6K, 3K, 1K and 300Hz respectively.)
The song is a cover of My Boyfriend’s Back by the Spazzys, and just happened to be the song we played before we came into our first voice break for the show. The track is actually 2 minutes 40 seconds long, so I removed a verse, two choruses, part of the lead break, and shortened the closing crescendo, bringing it down to roughly a minute.
Anyway, enjoy.
