• Description : Boat Tour of ALCATRAZ Music Video.....(more).............. (((VIDEO 11 NOTES))) This video is entirely devoted to the enigmatic island of Alcatraz. So much history is here and it has extended to the big screen in some great Hollywood movies. Each scene gets progressively closer to Alcatraz, but I edited it to seem more dynamic and to make it short enough to not be boring. At 1:06 I get into plenty of close-ups of the front side of the Island. At 2:22 there is an intimate view of the back side of Alcatraz. I thought the rear of the Island was incredible as it was my first time ever seeing that and I had no idea how much stuff was going on there. I learned quite a bit just from the boat audio and that's why I left it in for everyone else to learn. We wanted to get on the Island, but that boat cruise was booked past our trip plans. We chose this cruise as it got real close to Alcatraz and did a more detailed coverage of the Island than the Alcatraz boat. That boat goes straight to the dock of Alcatraz and misses a lot of the angles we got to see. In the end we got rare video footage that can't be beat. (((MUSIC 11 NOTES))) I used the PODx3 for the bubbly underwater guitar sound and improvised the weirdest music I could think of on electric guitar. I added in sections of the boat tour audio where it was of benefit to the video. I had to trim a lot of wind noise, and people talking out to make the intense visuals the focus. I did my best to keep the audio timed originally where it was in the video with the slight manipulation to work best with the music. At 3:04 I go into a dark-sounding guitar melody. It went well with all the crazy stuff the Boat PA was blasting out its speakers. At 3:49 I transition the music and the PA voice into a low and scary-sounding thing. That's when the focus is off the Island and back on the water as we head away from Alcatraz towards shore Pier 39. I use my Boss DR-660 drum machine for the bass and drum patterns. That is actually just a snippet of the music that I use for the music to Video Segment #12. On The DVD it stays all one piece and makes more sense. lol (((SAN FRAN VIDEO SERIES INFO))) The seventeen (17) segment series took 3-months to edit and mix for your viewing pleasure. This footage is from our December 2007 SAN FRAN vacation video that I created original music for and heavily-edited the video with some wild effects (FX) using SONY Vegas DVD+ Movie Studio on my PC to be more of a music video than your 'typically shitty' home-movies with crap for sound. lol The 17 Snack-Sized Videos were broken down from my 68-minute DVD. The smaller files allowed me to render at 3Mbps, which means its High-Quality Resolution + Sound. Of course you have to select "WATCH IN HIGH-QUALITY" to benefit from that. Choosing that triples the sound and video quality. For smooth playback, hit pause and wait for the red progress bar to get a good head start before watching it. I say go pop some popcorn; get a drink; dim the lights; hit full-screen and take a mini-vacation with me. :) (less)
