Our Cellopalooza Concert goes virtual! Students will perform and record the concert pieces at home playing along with me (see below for videos). Once those are finished and sent to me, I will sync them together in one fantastical video to debut at the Cellopalooza Concert on May 31st!
- When: May 31, 2020 at 2:00-4:00 on Zoom (note the new concert date). Zoom link will be sent out before the event. The concert will debut the Cellopalooza Concert video!
- Video Deadline: The deadlines have changed – please stay tuned to your email for updates. I will share a OneDrive Folder that you can upload your videos to.
- Recording set-up:
- Play along with me or with the metronome (use headphones). See below for my play-along videos.
- Dress in concert clothes.
- Record with your phone.
- Use landscape mode.
- Record in HD (1920x1080p). If unable, use 1280×720.
- Record at 30 fps
- Use phone’s mics to record audio. No external mics.
- Ensure good composition and lighting. Put cellist in the center of frame, filling 80% of the vertical frame.
- Camera at a slight angle to cellist – not straight on.
- See picture for good example (camera could be closer, but you get the idea).
