The question to anything in front of GoFundMe is what does anyone get if they support whatever is in review. Maybe they only get the good feeling of doing something right but that is often all anyone wants.
That's fine for various social injustices or whatever but this is specifically about some old guy who wants to make you a video.
There was brief thinking of making videos private but that sucks in multiple dimensions. It's elitist, it's pissy, it shafts people who have no money, etc, etc.
So why should anyone support it if I will release the video publicly anyway.
There has to be something in the video of such value that people think supporting it is worthwhile. That can't come from Sasquatch as he doesn't create visions but rather removes them (i.e. why make God so complicated he couldn't possibly exist). Silas does create visions and the multi-dimensional aspect is valid philosophically and in terms of hard physics as well. With a significant number of physicists, the only explanation for parallel wave / particle behavior is through parallel universes.
One parallel universe that cannot exist is any type of legal action with sleazebag insurance companies as that immediately impurifies anything it touches. It's either GoFundMe or get a lawyer to Kill da Bitch. Those two aren't parallel activities.
This is slow going as I have been moving things about. There are many reasons this is slow so ... it's slow. The result will be camera framing that will work for any of the instruments. Previously the keyboard was end-on to the camera so you could hardly see it. That required swinging a mike around, looper change, cables, etc. The guitar also swings around for playing position and a huge part of that every time is I am still not satisfied I have adequately captured the diamonds on her face. She sparkles much more than the camera has caught yet. It's a subtle thing and that's how we designed it but it's very tough to film.
Thought continues. The GoFundMe solution is preferable as anything to do with lawyers and insurance companies would be incredibly unpleasant. Lawyers and insurance companies, bad people; GoFundMe, good people. How do I decide.
The specific request is for cameras as there is no way in the world I can buy them. The Canon HF-G20 looks like it would do well and if I spec this out properly then must be two of them. The Mystery Lady's suggestion of a GoPro camera on my head is also very cool for the perspective it gives as what will take you more into this world. It sounds massively geeky but I do see what it would yield and it really is the only way I can show it. I can tell you it's fantastically beautiful or why would I do it but those are only words.
There needs to be some but not much additional lighting so the total would probably go about three grand counting cameras, SD cards, GoPro, and more lighting.
The secondary aspect should be considered as well. There's no backup for the 3TB drive with the video and audio files and the computer has had probably the hardest run of any laptop reading this blog any time soon. It's seen multiple countries, a scooter crash, and who knows what else. (The 3TB drive is the same one I dropped in the Schiphol airport in my elderly incident and I still can't believe it survived. Taking a dive is one thing but doing it in public ... arrggh.)
So that pushes it up around five grand. That's still peanuts to those who do have money but every penny is a massive consideration down here. Does this line item really have to be there or is that just some bullshit thing for flash. If you're going to be asking for something, you damn sure ought to have a good reason for it and well beyond, gee, it would be nice.
In very brief justification of multiple cameras, the view of the lasers is radically different depending on whether you look at them or with them. Switching from one to the other is more than a sideshow trick but one to be engaged as part of the vibe. The more cameras engaged, the more the connection with the music beyond being only a visual record of it.
Proof of concept, that's the ticket.
So ... I should shoot one today and record video with the laptop and the iPad even though I know the quality will suck. I can mix those video streams with the one from the camera and cut back and forth between them to demonstrate to myself the value of multiple camera perspectives in this context. Simply for the purpose of complex selfies is irrelevant as I ain't that hot but the action of playing a complex instrument may be interesting to people.
After a long time you forget where you started and it stops being unusual that the guitar can play three instruments at the same time.
Yah, so that's the action item: shoot one in daylight with multiple 'cameras' recording. Mix down in Final Cut and review. That'll give a next step.
