OK.... The audio is not what I would really enjoy listening to. The piano was easy to hear but the vox were buried in the piano and in need of some processing with EQ...... But you knew that.
I like the way you did the other videos.... the music was recorded in the studio and synced to the video.
I did a video of me playing "live" in my studio on a song recently. Using an inexpensive Flip camera and some cheap software, I recorded several takes on different parts of the song and lined them up to the music track. A couple of hours to put the video together and post it to youtube.
The camera needed to be closer as well... not shot from across the room. Intersperse some hands on the keys with closeup of you singing... make it a bit more interesting. By using the recorded music version, even if it's just piano & vocal, you can have control over the elements in the music..... vocals and piano. The piano in the room sounded like it needed to have a visit from the piano tuner man to tweeze a few of the notes. Midi would solve that and properly synced, no one would know it wasn't live. Put a mic up there and same deal.... it doesn't even have to be on. Just be sure it has a cable on it for proper looks.....
I know you are probably just experimenting, but.... it's easy enough to do and make it look and sound 1000% better with just a little bit of work. I would expect to see a video like that if it was you in a recital or in a church playing/singing a special number.
With her new camera, and some software, both of you guys get together and spend some time working on a video. Some editing software...or even Windows Movie Maker will give pretty good results.
