Topic: 10am Jam session today

yes we started at 9:30am the guys get together when we can due to work and personal time restrictions we turned our drummer Gary Klever loose on a John Foggerty song "Born On The Bayou" which we added to our list. I get to play my Les Paul and crank it out a bit.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHbfRby … e=youtu.be

Very good track.  I agree with Dino, it has a Fogerty sound to the vocals for sure. Gary nailed it!

There are several ways to achieve a green scree effect but the easiest is go to Walmart,Target or another retail giant and they sell green fabric you also need to make sure you get enough to span the entire background of your studio so everyone in the band fits including the sides. next you need a camera that has a wide angle lens I have a Sony HDR-MVI movie cam with large mic's they can be obtained on the web, a tripod or someone holding the camera and last you need a green screen video program I would suggest the one I have it is very inexpensive at around 25 dollars or so called TrakAx make sure it has green screen editing there are free video tutorials that are included to help you edit and depending on how quick you can learn(it takes a bit of time and patience) last you need a video to put in the back it can be a photo or whatever but make sure you dont wear any green clothing or you will be invisible :lol; if you need any help let me know smile almost forgot LIGHTING you need to have front indirect (aim at ceiling ) and back lighting to cancel out the shadows on the green screen.
