Awesome MT. You slayed it. Playback came through a JBL bluetooth patio outdoor speaker thing and it sounded wicked!!!! My wife thought you were Gordon Lightfoot covering John Denver loooool!!!

Nope. Just Musicturtle.

Green screen was cool. Looks like it could be put up a bit more taught so you don't get that wrinkly shadow stuff?! Or maybe thats part of it i dont know?!

Thanks [mention]WhiskeyJack[/mention]!

Yeah when I tested the green screen I could take out the shadows from the creases by adjusting the green screen settings in the video editor. Then after I did the real thing and took everything down and started editing the video, when I adjusted the wrinkles out, the edges of the image of me got really distorted. So I just tried to make it look like some animated curtains behind me because I didn't have time to re-take everything.

Thanks for the listen, Gordon Lightfoot, :P that is cool. Never heard that comparison before but I will take it, :like: he was awesome.

Tony, I hate Denver - I used to cringe when I heard/saw him. I didn't mind the song as sung by you. Your vocal tone is pleasanter than his perhaps?

:lol: Ha ha

Thanks Ray!

When I told my wife I did a John Denver song she was like..."Why would you want to sing something by him, he sounds like a wimpy guy when he sings."

Although her verbiage was a bit different I am sure.

Hey [mention]rayc[/mention] I just went back and compared mine to the original and mine is about 12-15 BPM faster. Maybe that has something to do with why you like it more.

Sound quality isn't good but it's cued to near the important JD moment with the set up to add context.
