A few weeks ago I started experimenting with recording the sermons at my church with a small mixer that I bought for 100 bucks off of Amazon.com and the recording software that comes with my Mac laptop. The hope is that in the near future I could help my church put some of the services online so those who were unable to attend a particular Sabbath morning could listen from home.
In the second week of experimenting I had to sing a selection for the service, and this is a sample of what we came up with. The song I sung is entitled “His strength is Perfect”, it was originally written and recorded by Steven Curtis Chapman.
This a project that I worked on with three other buddies of mine during my senior year in college. It took us two weeks of college scrap time to complete it (sleepless night included). The part I played in its development was concept design, storyboarding, and script writing (the least amount of time attributed to the latter). As with other projects I worked on in my college years, I felt this one would have been better if we had more time to devote to it (check out my college music video project here: http://yostevo.com/blog/?p=17). Nevertheless I thought some of you might find it interesting to watch.
You can check out what some of the other guys who worked on this project are up to here:
Two months ago I recounted in my post, “The Last Chapter Files”, a brief history of my high school and college singing group and provided footage of one our final appearances in college. Well today I got my digital hands on vintage video of our group captured 7 years ago when we were in high school!
In this clip you get a chance to see footage of our pianist, Evert, in the days when he neglected to trim his hair. In the previous video Evert could be heard playing the accompaniment but was not pictured. Our first tenor, Joe, also makes an appearance along with Andrea and me. Our drummer, bass and the other tenor are still missing in this one. You may also notice a change in lyrics between the two videos. This is because we often times forgot the original lyrics and would have to rewrite a new set to replace them. This sometimes would shamefully even occur on stage during a performance.
Well, I hope you enjoy this rare blast from my past.
