I've added four videos - one lute, three baroque guitar - to the vimeo site. This is my first attempt at making a video - not something I enjoyed too much! My first take - the sound was terrible, so I set the computer up and recorded with a mic in to the laptop at the same time as recording the video. Then in Windows Movie Maker I had to take out the audio from the video and install and line up the mp3 track which I had boosted the volume of and added a tiny bit of reverb. It sounded ok. Then I uploaded the lot to vimeo and also to the lute and baroque guitar networks. The uploads did not go so well. One of the videos would not upload. The others did, but not the little picture for the video icon for clicking on...The sound is a little weird too...not what I heard on my computer before upload...And I should mention there was 20 minutes of my performance which did not get recorded - I never noticed the video tape had run out...Geez, I need to go for a long walk!
Still, I hope you get something from these efforts. Was it worth it? Probably not! Go to www.vimeo.com and search for MacKillop. Rob MacKillop PS Excuse the cross posting... -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
