Baby got Back|RNR Remix I walk the line Laurent Wolf video mixes. (criticism?)

well, Technically the baby got back proved a little more difficult than I anticipated.
Im wondering if rendering the videos with a higher FR & KFs will make it easier
and I wont have too much quality loss.

any who

||Sir Mix Alot - Baby Got Back (RNR Remix)||
If you havent heard this mix, its pretty lush...
the non baby got back parts are a little on the thin side, but short enough that
you dont lose the feel of the track... builds are great though.
I always get a great reaction from when I dropped the audio

||I walk the line - Laurent Wolf ft Johnny Cash||
I decided to make this its own thread becuase I wanted some other feedback
on it... Im really trying to PERFECT this whole "video mix" thing...
Id kill to sit down with a vegas pro for 4 hours.
This mix is a banger. I always get a reaction...Laurent wolf is one of my fav dance
producers... (even though he's got a little top40ish lately)... I must have about
12 records on the Darkness label that ROCK.
anyway, here ya go...

says the sir mix a lot video is private.

-------------

I have the same footage for walk the line live performance. That was from Austin City Limits. Not sure where you got the dancing cowgirls from... but it fits. Good job on the edit!

I was about to edit that same track for my personal library. Love that version.

that was odd...
all fixed.

nice work on the baby got back.............just gotta get ur cropping down........(to get rid of the black bars)

might be a bitch to fix now cuz you'd have to change every clip on the ass shakin vid, but nice use of effects! The sir mix alot could use a lil cropping to......Usually 704 or 688 will take care of that.....

thanks man....
I think going forward Ill start erroring my cropping on the side of the image
rather than trying to find that perfect edge so I dont loose any of the screen.

definitely one of the first things to do before you start making your edits, otherwise for every clip you chop up you have to go back and do it to each one....also looping a small section and rendering that loop will give you a live preview of it before you start the project helps....

Baby got back was very cool. Its not just the video, and I don't think I have heard that remix...<diggin>...

On the Laurent Wolf - i was distracted by the edges (not sure whats thats called). It seemed to be a bit thick...but otherwise, I liked it....

thanks man,...

yeah I was on the fence with the borders.
I had it without then... and the original is such a thin letterbox it looks
bad...I didnt want to stretch the image too too much, I rendered t both ways, and it just looked "fuller" with the bars.

WOLF...COOL.....

Sir mix alot..cool

BUTT!!! he said he likes big butts every girl it that video was a stick and no ass,,,lol

was the baby got back footage pulled from like youtube or something? i am thinking of starting to integrate some of that too....

kinda sad to hear baby got back remixes like that. i don't think it would fly well in seattle.

thats the video for Armand & Facelifts's shake ya ass.

it was funny...thats exactly what my wife said...
"josh.... none of those girls have an ass"
Im not gonna hate on them...They shake nicely.

Twiz, in 80% of the rooms I play Id play nothing but the original.
but in that small percntage of places where I can get house-ee its a nice
switch from the orig...Ive dropped the audio in plenty of dance rooms and
got great reactions...Id never think of dropping it in a top40/hiphop room
Id prolly get lynched... maybe if it had a verse or two from the original...

Please donate to the NOASSATALL foundation and lets stop this horrible affliction.

I play baby got back 3-4x a month easily, maybe more....I wouldn't play it for a housier crowd, but I have even played it was a mostly urban group and it works...its all about timing

theres a handful of 90s stuff in the 125-135 area that KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS for me.

quad city, salt n pepa, outta here bros, 2 live crew, freak nasty, 95 south, tagteam, 69Boyz ect ect ect...

Ive always thought it was funny that people who DESPISE dance music because its
too fast or whatever, but eat this shit up.

dj'ing is such a "relative" profession

totally agreed - i have been having much success with TOOTSIE ROLL lately...I think that era of music seemed more FUN...people need to loosen up and not get so into "this is a hot song, I want it, even though I can't dance to it, but I want to request it cuz I think i am hot sh!t"

^^^^^ totally!

add Bad Romance to the mix

I made two. one letterbox, one filled.

nothing special.
had to re-arrange the verses for the Xtd mix I used.
I was going to do another with the Chew-Fu mix maybe.

One thing I noticed about her last 2/3 videos is her (and britney) arent
"selling" the lip sync...

makes shit hard sometimes

josh great work I agree about the croping to get rid of the black bars but overall very nice job. So much so that if your in a giving mood I would love a copy of both the sir mix alot and laurent wolf vs johnny cash vids as I to get a great reaction from the audio. thanks

Mr. Joshua Carl....nice to see you on here : ) [kristin korpos here....]

I was researching the video stuff....and well, not suprised to find you in the forum here...nice vids, I aspire to edit at some point too....but for now I just think it's time for me to head into the video age...

After our conversation at the mall a few months ago, and just doing more research, I think that this will spice things up. After 10 years of DJing...well, I need some thing new to add to the mix.

Anyway, just thought I would say hi....see you around here. I will have to get in touch and stop in at your Saturday gig and check it out!

Hey Kristin (Kristin & I used to spin the same room in Providence on opposite nights)

Yeah, this IS the place for video information & whatnot.
especially for someone just getting their mp4-feet wet.
these guys have helped me tons, especially in the production side.

if anyone is going to help you get there, its these clowns.

just do yourself 1 favor.
search for an answer first!
god forbid you ask something thats already been asked... (as we all found out the hard way)

Im also using this oppertunity....well Ive been looking for Jane Says for years.
couldnt find one for the life of me...
so i made this:

and thats after CLEANING up the video.

id take any one of those chicks in that video over a fat assed chick...for real...what you guys keep forgetting is 1. over the years the ass will get bigger, 2. if by chance you get her preggo, her ass will get bigger and 3...who likes cellulite anyways? :)

...you can always make the ass fatter, but it gets really hard to make it smaller ;)

Hey JC your vids are bad-ass...just wanted to give you props. (no homo)

^^^^^ I second the motion Josh!

Thanks guy, I just wish I had more time to do more of them

Did you really use Sony Vegas to edit you vids?

yeah, Im still learning the program though.
every one I do I experiment a bit more with effects and such

I think you're killing it! Good Job! nice vids. What would it take to get a copy of the Walk the line so I can play on my set.
