How Good Is Your Cover Band Promo Video?

This new one we just shot is good, but felt strange at first.

When you have a complete 3-set night arranged with click and backup/redundant tracks, you can take video for a promo and dub it against the redundant tracks much more quickly than mixing down the live audio. And, for purposes of a promo, with arguably better results.

It's still weird to see my fingers move and no notes coming out. I remember this gig; it was a fun one.

Personally I would much rather see this as a live video of the band, but a) I see promos for cover bands all the time like this and b) I can see how this is more useful.

 

Thanks. Come to it, I rememver seeing a third camera pointing at stage left. None of the footage made it to the video; I wonder if it wasn't working.

A mobile cam is a great suggestion.
