Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

It doesn't involve any composing, just performing the tune. I'll synch the voices to the music afterwards (unless whoever's making the music wants to edit in the voices, in which case they can). Stan did already record one version which sounded slow and beautiful and lovely, but brickfilmers aren't very good singers (sorry) so the tender music combined with the rather brash singing voices didn't really work...

Well, if we have enough time, it would be cool to have an original track for the video, but if all else fails, we might just us the original songs instrumental.

I've have been experimenting with Mixcraft lately, but I am not at the level yet were I could compose an actual song.

We could set up a big skype call and all sing it together... mini/cat

The quality would be terrible but it might sound more melodic or something like that (i have no idea).

But we still have to deal with the time-zones, so yah...

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

That would be fun! I'd love to hear the result!

The problem with that is telecommunications cause a slight delay, which isn't really optimal.

Though, it is nice for rounds. mini/smile

If my help is desired, I'd be happy to assist. I actually have a good singing voice (as my friends say), and I've even played a lead in a musical before.

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

No, it's not the singing needs to be re-recorded, it's the backing track. As fun as a group Skype singalong would be, I don't think Skype handles calls that big. And that's leaving out the problematic prospect of getting all ~40 participants to be online at the same time...

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

Someone could make the music with Minecraft noteblocks. mini/tongue

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

Or you could have someone doing vocalized music.  You know, like saying "nah" and stuff like that to the music.  That would fit in with the "brash" singing voices.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

Good news everyone!

Seeing as no one in the brickfilming community was able to make the music, I've had to outsource to other online communities. As a result, Edd from AcousticBrony has agreed to make it for us! I've sent him the voice clips so he knows sort of style to aim for (heavier rather than softer). I'll keep you posted.

Yesh!

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in here and apologize for making this take so long.  I've been swamped with school and design projects, and have had a hard time making time for this -- thus the reason for me backing down with the music.  All Hazzat is waiting for me to do now is a bit of animation for the end, which is almost done.  (It's animated, and halfway edited)
Again, I'm really sorry for making this take so long

Oh, btw, for anyone wondering, the song is in the key of C, and the chords are just C, Am, F, and G over and over

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

I might be able to record a song - I play the guitar, and I could easily learn it on the piano and maybe harmonica. mini/tongue

Re: Community Project - "Boom De Ah Dah"

I think a simple musical background of a guitar strumming might work out with the vocals. You could try...
