This is a 3 camera shoot video with external audio (Reaper) recorded Lighting (non trivial) 1) Set up a 3 point lighting configuration: Key, Fill & Back 2) Put a spot light on the Nutcrackers 3) So the challenge with the lighting was to have the 3 lights positioned in relationship to the 3 cameras so that the "light" fixture did not get reflected on the guitar - took a bunch of tests Video Editing Tips 1) In order to sync up the 3 video files and the audio file I do a "Hand Clap" before each take. In the video editor I'm able to sync up the 3 video files and the audio file in the timeline. 2) I keep the takes to be under 10 minutes to avoid "audio drift". My recordings start to have noticeable audio drift after about 10 minutes. 3) Jump Cuts: There are a few places in the song where I am repositioning my hand on the fret board from the 1st fret to the 5th fret. In the video editor I do a frame by frame view of moving to the 5th fret, I locate the frame where my hand is leaving the fret board and insert the "cut". So when the video is played, the jump cut is during the repositioning. Reaper (after alot of playin around, this is where I landed) 1) Recorded Mono with an sm81 2) High Pass EQ with a "Notch" cut at about 300Hz 3) Double Tracked (copied the Mono Track) 4) Sent the tracks to a Reverb Bus 5) Put the tracks in a Reaper Envelope to render in Stereo 6) Pan Left 75%; Pan Right 75% RECORDING GEAR Camera 1: iPhone 13 Camera 2: iPhone XR Camera 3: iPhone XR Recording Mic: sm81 Audio Interface: UR22mkII GUITAR: Martin DCPA4 VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE DAW: Reaper Video Editor: filmoraPro ACOUSTIC TREATMENT Bass Traps 3 Acoustic Blankets 2 Panel Diffusers (24" x 24") This is an Educational Video ***************************************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: References to company brands and/or logos are for educational purposes.

I eventually developed a planning template to guide me through my process for creating a video. So if you're doing multi camera shoots or thinking about doing multi camera shoots, you may be interested in some of the ideas I share in this video.

***UPDATE JAN-24*** There are a few different ways to setup a Windows login method(e.g., PIN login). Unfortunately, this procedure only works with Windows UserID/pw login method. ***UPDATE AUG-23*** Replaced my Asus Router with Netgear Nighthawk. So I'm back to using this iPhone to PC file transfer method. I find that my home network sometimes drops my iPhone connect to server link, so when this happens I reconnect to my PC from my iPhone. This is a bit of a drag, but is still much better than other methods I have tried. ***UPDATE DEC-22*** Replaced my NetGear Router with an Asus Router. Discovered that the Asus Router does not support SMB protocol from iPhone Connect to server. So have gone back to iPhone-MAC AirDrop. Please note that this solution is limited to routers that support SMB protocol. ************************************************************************************************************* I've been doing SMB (Server Messenger Block) file transfers from my iPhone to Win11 for a while. SMB is a network transfer protocol provided in Windows (so there is no 3rd party software or web sites needed for this network configuration). In this video, I walkthrough the "1 Time" setup items for enabling an SMB client on a Windows 11 PC. Note: The same steps can be applied to Win10 (you'll just need to follow Win10 navigation paths to the same settings I show in this video). SMB ip address format smb://nnn.nnn.n.n KEY POINTS 00:00 01:00 Intro 01:00 07:10 Network Settings 07:10 10:15 Make a Shared folder 10:15 12:12 iPhone Connect to server 12:12 13:57 iPhone to Desktop File Transfer Demo 13:57 15:14 Lessons Learned ***LESSONS LEARNED*** From time to time you may need to reboot your router, when you do this a new ip address will be assigned to your PC. So you'll need to remove the "old" ip address from your iPhone and then just "connect to server" with the newly assigned ip address. I've also noticed when transferring larger files (like a 4k vid clip) you need to be physically close to the router for a successful transfer. Photos have been OK to transfer from anywhere within range of the router. And If you add a new shared folder to your Desktop, you'll need to "refresh" the SMB connection on your iPhone. You refresh the iPhone SMB connection by removing the "connect to server" ip and then do "connect to server" with same ip. The new shared folder on your Desktop should now appear on your iPhone.

DESCRIPTION When replacing audio recorded by your camera with audio recorded by a 2nd microphone, you will often find that as you play your video, the audio and video become more and more out-of-sync. This is known as Audio Drift. In this video, I show you how to fix audio drift using Reaper.

This video is a 3 camera shoot of playing Blackbird using a 2 finger picking style. A link to the tutorial explaining this picking style is below. After learning the pattern, I played along with the actual recording to see if I could play it while keeping time with the "click track" you hear in the song - not an easy thing to do. However, after listening a few times, I did pick up a few subtleties. In the pattern, Paul is using his thumb on the E, A & D strings to keep time with the click track. Also, between the "Blackbird fly..." choruses, when its just the guitar riff, he is "pinching" the E & B strings when he moves up the fret board, instead of just the E string as he does throughout the rest of the song. One other thing I noticed from watching Paul play Blackbird on various videos, is that when he plays the verse riff and then does a short tag to end the riff, he plays an A7 chord instead of just B string 2nd fret. Its really enjoyable to finally play the song in a way that is "closer" to how it was played when it was recorded. In this take I'm playing from "muscle memory" after playing along with the song a few times. So I hope this video is helpful to folks who have been wanting to learn how to play it.
