I did this video with my daughter, Leah. She recorded her part in Vermont, mine was recorded in Virginia. The tune is Splendid Isolation, written by Brendan McGlinchy, who sadly just passed away.
Here’s how we did it: Leah played her fiddle part first, and videoed it on her iPhone, and sent the video to me. I played the video on one iPad and used ear buds to listen, and played along, making a separate video on another iPad. Once I had the two videos, I imported both of them into the iMovie application on our iMac computer, onto one iMovie project. It was then a matter of aligning the two videos so that they were in synch with each other. I cropped both videos so that each one started and ended where I wanted it to, and there are functions on the iMovie app where I could split the screen, do fade in and fade out, add ending credits, and adjust the volume of each component video separately.
After all that, it was just a matter of uploading the completed iMovie project to YouTube, where I gave the video a title and a separate end screen video. I uploaded it at WTJU where I have a radio show..the internet there is through UVA, and super fast...the combined videos created quite a large file.
Leah just used the built in mic on her iPhone..I have a device called an iRig Pre, which allows me to plug an external mic into my iPad which vastly improved the sound quality on my video.
One thing I learned was that four potatoes, or a count at the beginning would have helped a lot, and we’ll do that with subsequent videos...there will be more, and hopefully we’ll get better!
Hope you all like it,
Pete
