Rough Cuts #8 - my cover of "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce

This is the last video I have from the session when I recorded Rough Cuts #1 and #4. I messed up both the guitar and vocals pretty bad in this recording, but I got through the whole song, so once again, it's good enough for a Rough Cut.

I've learned a few tricks in OpenShot that make it a lot faster for me to cut up the two video timelines, so I used that extra time to get familiar with the various transitions. As I move into making multi track recordings, I want to try using the transitions with the multi-frame video to highlight different instruments during different parts of the song.

I have just one more Rough Cut from my old recordings. If I find the time to simply re-record that song, I'll probably just start posting better videos into one of the music communities next weekend. If I don't find the time, I have one more bad recording to torture you with.

If you watch until the end, it looks like I'm picking my butt, but I'm really just stretching my shoulder. If you think that's funny, and have an interest in comedy, I've put my very first comedy video here on 3Speak, under my alt account @oldsoulnewb. I performed the routine you'll see (if you click that link) live last Wednesday, and it did pretty well, so you'll probably like it.
