Waynestock 5 8/4/12 North Creek NY





Below is an ad from last year on Wayne Stock, an annual FREE event in North Creek, NY held on Aug. 4, 2012 this year, with at least 7 bands, food, face painting and auctions for the benefit of the North Country Hardship Fund. it's BYOB with only non-alcoholic drinks being sold. Looks like I'll need to bring a cooler, blanket and chair along with all my cameras, camcorders and equipment. if anyone is willing to come as a helper & hold a camcorder or camera, or keep an eye on my things while I am filming, I'd really appreciate it. I can't wait! :) That reminds me I'll need to buy some good bug stuff for this one, those bugs love my blood something fierce. Hope to see you there! Some of the featured bands are: Cosmic Jackson, Willie Playmore, Decadence, Flipside and many more. Hope to see you there!

Fallen Within - Your Song Music Videos

I made 3 music videos for this same song by Fallen Within band at http://reverbnation.com/fallenwithin


I had more materials than I could use in one video and wanted to use them all, so let me know which one of the 3 YOU like best, for me #3 is definitely it, but #1 is a close second. 














I created this video as a fan of the band Fallen Within, after noting their own videos were static image only, with their permission. For artist info and to buy their album, please visit their website at http://www.reverbnation.com/fallenwithin
and The Fallen Within Band At http://www.FallenWithinband.com


Lyrics to Your Song by Fallen Within. Written by Derrick Brandon:


Dont regret this life for me,
its only what you make it,
dont blame it all on me,
only wanted you to be mine,
the things you said when you lied,
the things you said that night,
that look in your eyes,
stood up for the last time .


(Hate me when im here,Miss me when im gone
this is your song,this is your song) 2x - repeat.


I was holding my breath down ,
trying not to be scared inside,
everytime id impress you,youd push me aside,
but im only human and its only feelings,
but i got a million,
or atleast you think its that way,
the truth is i cared more anyway,


(Hate me when im here,Miss me when I'm gone this is your song,this is your song)


Id give up everything
just hear your voice and make you feel alive one last time
Nothing i can say or do
to make you feel the way i do inside this will last for a lifetime


(Hate me when im here,Miss me when I'm gone this is your song)


Hate me when im here,Miss me when im gone
this is your song,this is your song x2-repeat.

BODIESEL - One Day Music Video Gassed Up LP 720p HD

Just finished this video project finally and I got to tell you, this is one addicting song, lyrics, beats & all. If you can do just one listen, there's something wrong, with YOU, lol. Seriously. Rap like this is hard to find. Positive message, truth, old school style I love. I put together a powerful video to go with the song, so let me know what you think. Thanks! Enjoy and share if you like it.

S.L. Smith & Metamorphose Jones Band 7-13-12



I always enjoy seeing Steven L. Smith & Metamorphose Jones Band play whenever I get the chance, and July 13, 2012 was no exception. Their line up has changed since the last time I filmed them at P-House, their old bass player is back & they were sounding better and LOUDER than ever. Luckily my camcorder does excellent audio, so no distortion, sometimes I wish it would show just how LOUD the music was. My ears were numb for a couple hours after & I only stayed for the 1st set, but that's what happens when one stands in front of professional PA's, 4 of them no less in this band, filming live music. No other band numbs my ears like these guys do, except maybe the Willie Playmore Band. 


I love the fancy swirling lights these guys use, makes my videos look fancier than usual. I enjoyed my favorite meal of Buffalo Chicken tenders with hand cut skin-on fries, and a couple ice cold Smirnoff Ice's (though Keith assures me they will be getting in my favorite raspberry flavored SI again soon, the plain tastes too much like the yucky Fresca of old), all for under $20 including a generous tip. The bands play every Friday night, free cover, from 8pm-12am or sometimes 9pm-1am. If you are looking for a fun night out in a gorgeous mountain region setting, fantastic food at great prices and cold drinks to cool off the summer heat, the Panther Mountain Inn is your destination place. Right in the heart of Chestertown across from the Carol Theater on Riverside Drive, is the bar parking lot. 





Here's the 11 video playlist below of 11 total, 8 videos from last night's show at P-House, 8pm-1am, plus 3 from the festival at the end of it. I missed out on the last song of the 1st set which was an incredible blues jam piece I regret with chagrin having put my camcorder away too soon. That song still haunts me, wishing I had filmed it as it was one I would have watched again and again and again...I learned to never put my camcorder away when they are still holding their instruments, lol.

Enjoy the show,


Gina


PS: Check out the band for more info on their FB page at http://www.facebook.com/TheStevenLSmithBand

The full playlist of all 11 videos including the 3 from the 7-7-12 Festival, starts below with Friday's P-House show first. Just press play to begin.

Frankie Moran - One American Life Music Video 720p HD

Besides live music, I also make MTV-like music videos for bands and artists. Below is one I finished for a project today on a powerful C&W song that will most likely make you tear up a bit. Now C&W is not my fave genre of music, along with jazz and classical, there are rare exceptions and this is definitely one of them. An amazing artist, and songwriter. I feel honored to have been invited to create this video for Frankie Moran's beautiful song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Fireworks in Chestertown NY 7-7-2012 720p HD





Filmed these on 7-7-2012, from the festival in Chestertown, NY. Entire show was 17+ minutes and with youtube limits I had to break it into 2 videos about 8 minutes each. Both are in 720p HD. Enjoy :)




Chestertown, NY Festival & S. L. Smith Band







S. L. Smith & Metamorphose Jones Band 7-7-2012


Filmed 5 videos at last night's festival, 2 of the band, this panoramic view with the band in the background & 2 fireworks videos (had to split the 17 minute video into 2 because of youtube limits, those 2 are still uploading-nearly 2 GB for that alone!). 


I was surprised there were so few people at this free music & fun event, but later the field was jam packed with well over 1000 people for the fireworks display. The weather was perfect, the clouds that had threatened earlier were gone by sunset, for a clear canvas for the colorful show. Other than the bugs eating me up, it couldn't have been a better evening.

Chords of Truth - Power To Be Alive

Besides filming live bands I also make music videos for artists, and this is one of the jobs I finished today and am most proud of. Incredibly beautiful & powerful acoustic song I guarantee you will love as much as I do. For a live version of this song by the artist himself (I did not film it), see this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpkAkwETMwU&feature=related 

Wash. Co. Line Bluegrass (playlist)

Playlist of 13 videos from the 6-30-12 show I filmed, excellent video & audio quality, fantastic live performance. True traditional bluegrass music, played on acoustic guitars, standing bass, mandolin and banjos. Beautiful melodies.
