The hitRECord community is going to play live with a local Austin band (http://www.newtimemusic.com) at our Saturday screenings at SXSW. RECord yourself playing along with the demo of the song - http://www.hitrecord.org/records/63328. We're creating an audio/video RECord that will play as sort of a companion to the band and sort of a member of the band.

Joe totally wants to play live with the band and this RECord. While we cannot promise anything, if there's any way of logisticizing it, that's what will happen.

The video we're making will be projected behind the band while they rock with our sound (or we play along with their sound). The video will have some parts SXSW, some parts video of hitRECorders playing the music mentioned above, some parts video of normal sounds being used musically like the Non Music Video from Sundance http://www.hitrecord.org/records/29189. We will be posting some sound Resources that we've RECorded here at SXSW. You can Release new sounds, Remix sounds from the Non Music Video, remix other existing RECords, Remix what's already in this Collaboration or anything else.


IMPORTANT NOTES
Play the song on headphones while you RECord yourself.
Video RECord yourself RECording it. We likely won't use audio-only RECords.
Release ONLY your own audio -- don't mix the existing song or drums with yours... all the parts will get mixed together later and it'll be easier to do that if your audio is clean by itself.
If you can Release your video at 720p, please do. If not, we can work with it anyway. If that doesn't mean anything to you, don't worry, just Release what you got.

The song is like
Verse (3x) Am-C-E
Bridge (2x) Dm-C-G
Chorus (3x) F-G-C-F-G-E
Recorded to a click at 120 bpm
Key of C

OK so here's the sort of baseline v1 cut of the music video coming together. Still need lots of help on this! Check out the collaboration here: http://hitrecord.org/records/63650

I've been sequencing everything at 60 frames per second to give the best resolution of frames for placing sounds precisely on beat (or as precisely on beat as possible). Fortunately the song is 120 beats per minute which divides into 1 second nicely for timeline editing.

I put the rough cut of the song provided by The New Time into the video so that you can see how it might sound live, but the final will not have the band track since the point is for them to play to it on Saturday night!

Hopefully this will give you guys some ideas. It's gonna be a long night (and day).
