Dorm Room Opus (by JD)
After I had tons of fun making the "All 4 Drums" video, I've been looking for another idea for a similar split-screen, synchronized project. Naturally, I can't have my drums in my dorm room, but I came up with this idea as a filler between covers and thought it would be fun to put together.
This project is made up of 38 separate video files, which took 2 days to shoot (when my roommates were all gone so I wouldn't annoy the heck out of them) and another 2-3 days of editing to sync everything together with rhythms that actually sound decent together. It's the most amount of time I've ever spent on a single video, especially because my computer (e6600 2.66 gHz processor, 4 GB RAM) couldn't handle rendering the really busy parts, since at times there are 9 separate HD video clips at once, and I had to render the whole thing in 16 small, separate pieces and then put everything back together to render again.
But hey, my exams were through and I had free time until graduation, so this gave me something to do. It was also good that I filmed this near the very end of the school year, so I would be leaving soon and wouldn't be jumped in the hall by angry people on my floor who were trying to study during all the racket...
Hope you enjoy!
