show you how to DIY a video and editing for your band


Hello Kiddies,

Pekado here just giving another how to DIY promoting your own bands, and what better way to show you then to show you the end result, therefore, he I am launching yet another;
   Skcitssa Would Like: to promote and explain how to make a DIY video for you band. First, I must begin by informing that the computer I am using is MAC. However, I believe that one can purchase video editing programs, which would work as good or better. Still I believe it should be a good warning, don’t have programs, it might take a little longer to edit however, I now that there is ways including smart phone applications that can upload edit video in minutes.

First, I believe a short plug of Skcitssa’s new song and video for Trash & Treasure. Just a little on the song, which was written in 2008, shortly after my departure of prison. I had been in the transitional home for two months and was taking Austin, Texas transited seeking for a job and missing my daughters and recalling the issue I made under my addictions to narcotics. The song was recorded various times live including on the debt split album of ASSTICKS and SKCITSSA under the name, “Fresh Outta Detox/ Skcitssa vs. The State of Texas”. In 2010, with it’s continued hits with the fan base, the diction of placing the single on the studio LP was decided by the band. Album, “… and they say, “We are destroying our youth?” is scheduled to be released by the up coming year. The video was filmed in two different tour shows in San Antonio, Texas, Laredo, Texas, and Austin, Texas, other parts where done during the recording of the bass track at the studio in Houston, Texas and finally, the head shots where taken in a restroom in a rattrap trailer in Sargent, TX.

The actual video was created with no concept or story line; however, the choice of placing one is up to the creator, the director and band. I suggest using life video it makes it easier to work with to place in sync with music, however, if you are like SKCITSSA, you have video for every song but that one. Do not fret, it can still work, that is where your editing skills come in. It all comes to the creator’s eye and ideas but it only takes copy paste knowledge to apply on iMovie. Second, do not for get to take your time it the video has sound, delete the sound, if you want to add transitions make sure you play the video to make sure time is still in proper place. Finally, place creates and share to file on desktop for easy access for social media.

Hope that the explanation was simple enough, if there is any question, feels free and drops a commit, and I will get back to you with any help I can give. Finally, if you all can leave a like on the Facebook link- http://www.facebook.com/skcitssa, on the video https://plus.google.com/u/0/112133554465833312382/posts and tell us what you think.
