I’m going to revisit 3 chosen songs I composed when I first started recording my music seriously.
A few years ago I wrote and recorded 9 songs in about two weeks with a very talented guy called “Mick Paul”.
Mick is an excellent bass player and has done a lot in his career to date. He also runs his own recording studio, and the nine songs I recorded with him, were done in that studio.
I’ve picked 3 of those songs to upload to youtube, and this is the first of them.
This one is called “Amber falls”. It’s a pretty dark song. Let’s see if you can work out the theme of the song, before the video informs you close the end.

Here it is:

I’ve included some information about Mick in the video, and I will be putting more information in the following 2 videos from that collection. It’s possible that you may recognise a name or two from the information to come.

I added a warning in the video description of this particular song, because the song has what is known as “Speaker busters”. They are very deep and loud bass hits, that can possibly cause some damage to a bass speaker when it’s on high volume. So be warned :)

Now for some youtube food.

I’m only 10 away from 700 subscribers now. So I’ve currently got 690.
The channel viewings have increased to 15,424.
My total video viewings are 235,621. Quarter of a million coming up soon.

In my next post, I’ll be bigging up the second of the three selected old original songs :) .

Make animation with imator.com.

Set animation parameters
Select dimension ( horizontal and vertical ) for your animation and select frame show time.

Upload photo files
You need upload several photos to make animation. You can use any photo file formats as png,gif,jpeg(jpg),bmp and other. You can upload photos, images, pictures from local PC or from url location. As alternative you can edit existing animated GIF or grab photos from Flickr or Picasa web albums. Also, it’s possible to add empty frames(without images ), but you can fill it by selected color. Remember if you upload picture from URL location, you should use only URL to images in public access. F.e. Your photos in protected albums in Flickr, Facelink, MySpace and other social sites isn’t accessible, because it’s necessary know login and password to download it, and it’s bad way to ask your personal info.

rotate, Move, resize you images
Animation are make from single frames. When you uploaded any picture it became single frame. Select this frame and change image position in frame, resize image or rotate it. Use mouse and control elements for it. As additional parameters it possible to select background color and frame display time (if choosed “custom” speed). Also set morph between frames checkbox to use smoothly frame change, but remember, that “morph” options strong increase result animation file size;

Add another images or photos, as much as you need
Upload up to 100 pictures. Usually it’s more than enough. If you make very huge animation it’s hard to use, hard to place it in Internet and very hard to display it on Internet pages.

Get your own animation
Push ‘make animation’ button and your animation will be made. Use this animation as avatar in social networks, banner on Internet pages.
