Bilbo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Nope. Still too much time going over the same territory. Nothing fresh to get inspired by. Could use the time better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think it's a pretty tall order. I actually would have preferred 1 minute sections, as it allows more time for an actual song to form, but it's still a very difficult task. I will give it a go, but I make no promises. Although I am in the minority who have as much free time as we like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfordStone Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 i think the video idea is cool, but i think an unrelated video of 5 minutes like something landscapey or spacey or something would be better than images we have already worked on previously. i like your thinking behind it rick, and the idea was clever.. but i can't help but feel id end up rehashing my old ideas a bit using the same photo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably being thick here... but how do I go about downloading the video? (without using one of the those dodgy Youtube Downloader sites!). Tried right-clicking on it but I'm not getting any options to save the file. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1374664342' post='2151427']Nope. Still too much time going over the same territory.

I was getting excited about writing a soundtrack to some video footage - rather than a slideshow - but that's maybe an idea to save for another special occasion, given that Charic has gone to the trouble of putting this one together. Bilbo and I are actually in a fairly unique position in that I think we're the only people who've submitted something each month - there may be others too; Garry perhaps? (I'd have to check) - so my approach is likely to be some kind of giant remix of what I've done to date, which will be a challenge in itself We'll see.

charic Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 We can do some proper video footage another time. I'm unsure about how to download video. Although I'm sure it's possible. Can anyone pitch in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the browser I'm using - Firefox 3.6.28 - which is fairly ancient but it's all I can run on the old dinosaur Mac at work! I'm also not logged in to YouTube, in case that makes a difference. Sounds like the download link is working anyway - I'll try it again when I get home using a more recent 'puter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Off on a tangent somewhat, I thought this article on SoundCloud about creating music with constraints was quite interesting. And I think creative collaboration could be fun, too. Just a thought...
