It was about a year ago… I was excited on buying an HD video cam. I did my research, saw a gazillion sample videos and for the budget I decided to go with a Vixia HG21. There is a learning curve as everything in life but this one was an unexpected big one. Vixia HG21 can be noisy as hell! (I bet hell is not as noisy) By that time I called it “snow” and it was very depressing. I kept on filming but never got into the satisfying zone. I bought an Rebel T1i and an iPhone. Both made better videos off the bat so I decided I was going to give my Vixia another try before selling it. Did my research but there’s nothing compared to vimeo as video research center. Vimeo is full of tech/film freaks! I searched for Vixia HG21 low light and there it was! The information I was waiting for! FINALLY! I’m very happy and there’s going to be a lot of new videos! I give Vixia HG21 a 9 out of 10!(For the price) Here is a video testing it out and practicing Final Cut Pro.
It’s been a while since I put some randomness video on the 8bitdude corner. Well lot of shit has happened since!! Lot’s and lot’s of concerts, parties, walking around, playing guitar and working. (Which I honestly love)
One of the things that has kept me down from every now and then is Gustavo Cerati’s stroke Honestly he has been one of my music teacher (He just doesn’t know it) in “Rock en Español”. Great composer, singer, musician and everything is well documented. He’s still in the hospital and his future status with his condition is unknown. Best wishes Gustavo Cerati.
I have these 2 videos with my wife! First one is us creating music. This is being created in the moment.
I believe I haven’t posted anything new for a while now (Little bit over a month to be exact)! I wanna share something with you guys! Something I really like! My wife told me a couple of months ago: “OMGGGG Air is coming to NYC!!!”. Well it was in Spanish, “Que Chimba viene Air!” I was like, Air what?!!?!? So as always she sent me couple of songs and I passed them to my iPhone. Since then I haven’t been able to stop listening to Air! In a week I knew their most recent album! Love 2 and some of the Moon Safari album.
So as always I recorded some videos!! YAY!! The concert was great and then we went to a Trilogy party! It was definitely a good Night!! I <3 NYC
Here it goes:
Do the Joy
Be a Bee
Remember
In this one the guy singing is using a vocoder! It’s a voice effect that merges your voice with any instrument! Pretty Cool.
Tropical Disease
This one is one of my favorite! I couldn’t record this one because I needed it to enjoy it @ a 100% full blast power! The guy in the left is using a moog! OMG I want one!! I bet there’s a gremlin making the sound inside the piano getting pinched with each notes he plays!!
I wasn’t accepted to beautifulpeople.com! Can’t believe this! How come a person so beautiful like me be rejected in a so “Elite” Society! Ok so let’s see!! I’m not going down without a fight!! I re-uploaded a picture and tried again!
This might be an interesting blog for some people. Browsing the web I noticed this website called BeautifulPeople.com and the thing with this site is that you have to be “beautiful” in order to get in! You have 48 hours to get accepted. So let’s see what happens. I tried to fix myself up but ended up failing a bit. I already started getting spam messages in the website. BeautifulPeople.com it’s on a beta phase even though it doesn’t say it on their website. Really buggy, I got like 10000 Ajax fail message and it’s really slowwwww. I guess the site is getting DoS’ed or maybe they don’t have enough bandwidth for all those beautiful people! http://www.beautifulpeople.com/
Well fast video of me and Paul (Friend of mine) just jamming. We had a blast! This is my first time with a 12-String guitar!! Maybe you’ll notice is my 1st time It really nice, in the way of playing I notice what to do with a 12-string and what not to do!!!
Honestly he has been one of my music teacher (He just doesn’t know it) in “Rock en Español”. Great composer, singer, musician and everything is well documented. He’s still in the hospital and his future status with his condition is unknown. Best wishes Gustavo Cerati.
