Musik Mundi: Catchpenny

Doncha just love it when you stumble upon good music? So the other day, Gilles sends me this link to this slideshow phenom site that she had been telling me about. I was like ok cool but didn't really think I would be putting together slideshows since I've already got my foto system down and I tend to be a creature of habit and routine. The site is called Animoto and instead of having your run of the mill slideshow, you get these awesome and professional slideshows that can be set to music and all you do is upload your pics and choose the song and BAM! Cool slideshow. But that's not what reeled me in. So as I was perusing the site, the thing that popped out at me was that they were now introducing video capability and to celebrate the launch, they were holding a contest to see who could put together the most creative video. I was down for the challenge. I never enter contests but I felt this was something that I would enjoy doing. Plus, I had all this untouched footage from NYC. The only catch is that the song for the video had to be from the Animoto library, which isn't a very good selection. So after working day and night and listening to almost every song in the Animoto library, I was able to produce something contest worthy. Well, it's good to me and the people in the video. Hah! And the cool thing is that I found a song that was perfect for the video and it's a song that big poppa and I actually like. OK. Enough blabber. The band is called Catchpenny and the song is Wouldn't Be The Same. Enjoy the vid! This one is purely for the contest. One of these days, I'll get to making a full length one. I seem to have some down time around the corner. Voodoo let me upload it onto his youtube, or rather, he requested it since he's featured all over it. I hope I become a finalist! Wish me luck! Anyone planning on starting an animoto account or just simply signing up? Please use this referral code: rflcjhuo. Danke! Danke!
