Downtown San Jose From A Distance, San Jose, California, April ‘08, artistic view.
I hope by now I have enough tape for a short music video. The weather was very nice to shoot in the early evening outside of northern part of San Jose. Last year, in about the same place, I shot one of my first videos in HDV format (1920x1080). Liked it a lot and decided to continue from then on with that format. It is less obvious if it was the best decision as far as YouTube goes, since those two black bars that show up on the top and bottom of a YouTube video window do take some important space away from the video. People who shoot for YouTube in a lower resolution, and worse quality, may actually have an advantage over those who shoot in HDV! But when you watch at home the HDV video that you made, plus the higher quality sound, you think of those other YouTube videos – "Forget It".
I wrote perhaps half of the music for the video, and have some ideas what to do with the other half. Tomorrow I will start working on the remaining part, one note at a time, my favorite way so far, although as I already mentioned previously, not the fastest one.
Breakfast: green vegetable salad with Italian dressing, ham and egg sandwiches, hash browns with Heinz ketchup, and iced tea with lemon.
