Firework - Katy Perry - Rock Cover video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OJBvYSOzqo
 
This is a rocked up cover of firework by Katy Perry.
All the instrumentation and vocals were performed, recorded and mixed by me. The video was done by me too :D
 
I hope you enjoy this as much as the last one I did!!
 
Have a nice day.

    Great stuff, Chris. Though the actual "firework" note never seems right to me, in both your version as well as the original. I love your vids.

    Outstanding.   Did you mike the drums or use MIDI triggers/Drum samples?   Playing, vocals, mix, video are all top notch, really enjoyed it....

    Chris,

    really enjoyed this, have tried a few of these myself but not as professional as this.

    Just out of curiosity, are you actually playing the song when the video is on you or are you just imitating?

    Also what video software do you use?

    Cheers guys! :)

    Drums are recorded no triggering, sample replacement or anything. Still not sold on the snare sound but I only had enough inputs for a mic on the batter head.

    video is miming. Just because I tend to record when i look scruffy and i've not tidied the room up which no-one would want to watch, trust me. Plus it allows me to overdub mistakes without worrying about authenticity of the video. The aim is not really to get an authentic full 'live' 'one take' style recording, but to produce studio style recordings with the ability that I have, which means, I have to do a few takes to get things perfect (or as close as I can make them with my limited ability).

    Cheers for watching :D

    Chris.

    Aren't you the artist?  Nice work on the video and the music production.  Oh, to be that young again and have that talent.  I will expect big things from you, buddy.  Gonna keep an eye on you!

    Cheers guys! :) much appreciated.

    On a completely seperate note:
     
    evadianepug, the quote in your sig. is quoted in one of my band's songs :) well paraphrased to fit, but the song's called 'Dragons' oddly enough ;) I shall link you to it if we ever get the bass recorded on it.

    As you were.

    Chris.
