Play A Simple Melody - Ukulele, Sax, and Melodica - Video
PUBLISHED:  Nov 15, 2009
DESCRIPTION:
This song was written by Irving Berlin for the 1914 musical 'Watch Your Step'. The version that I based my cover on was recorded by Bing Crosby and his son Gary Crosby in 1950. This video is dedicated to My Grandpa because he recommended this song to me. I definitly found it challenging, being that it is of a significantly differnt style than the songs I usually work with. Figuring out the chord pregression was quite difficult because this song seems to break every rule I've ever used for dissecting pop songs. I also had a tough time figuring out the horn harmony's, but in the end I think the Audio turned out quite well for this video.

This is my first and probably last attempt at making a video with a 'twin vision' split screen style. I foolishly recorded 1/2 of the video with daylight peaking through the blinds, which completely ruined the effect in some of the shots. Also despite being very cautious, I managed to disturb my stationary camera at some point while I recording, which made the editing for this video a headache and a half.

I hope you enjoyed it, please comment and SUBSCRIBE, I have no shortage of creative ideas for videos to record
