Josh’s second-most famous song, "Giants", is about people, or experiences, or things, to which we relate in order to feel most free. Toussaint L’Ouverture, needless to say, is one of his Giants. Alan White : I was thinking about geniuses the other night. Josh Osho : Like Michael Jackson - AW : Exactly. JO : You can’t really choose your influences. AW : For ten years all I wanted to do was write. JO : There’s a part of yourself that’s omnipotent. This is a video of Josh performing a song called "Ebenezer Hotel". In his teenage years, Josh fell out with his mother. JO : Ha!

Le Tournedisque Radiohead's “Creep,” Radiohead’s 1992 anthem of alienation, is one of those songs that everyone has loved at some point, and no one would admit to loving now. It’s hard to watch the original music video without cringing a little bit. Thom Yorke’s pasty face, with its cavernous cheeks and olive-pit eyes; the other, stringy-haired members of Radiohead looking moody and disaffected behind him; the lurid sherbet-hued lighting—it’s all just too sincerely pathetic. And so nineties. It’s not a song that you want appearing on your Facebook/Spotify feed without a knowing comment to diffuse it . Radiohead pretty much stopped performing the song at the end of the nineties , and who can blame them? Prince famously performed an eight-minute cover of “Creep” at Coachella, in 2008. But the song was suddenly rehabilitated when, over the weekend, a video of a singer named Carrie Manolakos singing “Creep” at small concert in New York went viral.
How to Make a Music Video: 7 Hard-Earned Tips Shooting the music video 1. Record the track that you are playing back on set as you shoot. This scratch track will help you synchronize the shots with the clean track in post-production. 2. Instruct the singer to sing properly – no half-hearted singing or, worse, miming. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Editing the music video Review all the takes and choose your favorite take for every shot. Use the waveform picture in your editing application to align the scratch track with the master copy of the track. A nice trick I have used to edit a music video efficiently is to place all the selected clips on the timeline, one above the other on stacked video tracks. To cut from one shot to another, you simply use the razor tool and delete all clips above the one you want. Advice for success in the music video industry (includes rant) Stylistic coherence One of the characteristics of high-end music videos is their high level of visual and stylistic coherence. Can young directors earn a living making music videos?

Will Figg for NPR Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee relaxes in the west Philadelphia house where her second album, Cerulean Salt, was recorded. "I kind of came to everyone and was like, 'Guys. Katie Crutchfield's eyes light up as she says this last word, but her smile turns sheepish as she recounts what her bandmates, on hearing the pitch, gently reminded her: There's already a very famous album by that name. "I was like, 'Oh yeah,' " says the 24-year-old songwriter, laughing and noting she's a fan of the Joni Mitchell classic. We're sitting on the back porch of Katie's home, a three-story row house in west Philadelphia. "We hit this point when we were, like, 14, where we kind of didn't hang out with anyone else," Allison says. The twins started their first rock band, The Ackleys, in high school. The twins assembled a new band, P.S.
A Detailed Breakdown of a 30-second TV Spot (with diagrams) In this post I will provide a detailed breakdown of a 30-second Public Service Announcement (PSA) I made in 2005 for a competition. My apologies for the soaking wet message at the end of the spot — I was younger and considerably less wise back then. You can watch the spot below (QuickTime required) and I will then analyze specific aspects. Shooting conditions We shot the spot on a bitterly cold night in November 2005 in Oxford, UK. Equipment Camera The camera was the Canon XL1 — this was in the bad old days when independent filmmakers were forced to choose between the unaffordable expense of shooting on film and the barely acceptable quality of DV. Lights We used one large HMI lamp (4K if I remember correctly), a couple of blondes (essentially 2K incandescent lights) and one or two smaller lights. The HMI light was powered by a generator that we hired as part of the grip package. There were three tracking shots in the spot. Achieving the blue look Lighting set-ups Dappled light Later in the shot:
