Here's an original song performance I helped produce
There's a story connected with every song. Here's a brief version of this song's story.
I first met Doug when he moved into our neighborhood 18-years ago. He was an upbeat guy with modest low profile personality. He owned his own pool cleaning company. A few years later, he stepped by and asked me if I wanted some tickets to front row seats at an America (The band) concert. I said that sounded too good to be true, and I asked why he was so generous. He said he acquired them for free, and oh by the way, was employed full-time for America and travelled with them for 15-years. I was more dumb struck than I normally am.
So, we spoke about some of his adventures with them, and mentioned they'll probably call him up on stage to play guitar with them. I had to believe it 'cause I was going to be there. As it turned out, they did give him a grand welcome, and big thanks for being with them, and called him up on stage. Doug is an extremely gifted guitar player, music and lyric writer, and so it is.
Doug wrote this song about Brad Paisley and Doug's life. The lyrics and footage we shot helps tell the story. Doug correctly described his song as a comical reflection on Brad Paisley.
We set-up a kind-of stage in our association's clubhouse. We had a few stage lights, but no spot lights. I rendered believable spot lights in Adobe After Effects CS6 post edit. I used my HD video cam for #1 camera on tripod. My employee and good friend Hector used a Cannon D5 Mark III for Camera #2. I edited the audio, sound effects, and video in Adobe Premiere CS6. I used both After Effects and Premiere for color correction to match the two camera images.
Hope you like, Robert Sackett
