RkyMtnHigh 0 #26 April 8, 2007 QuoteI ask. If we have their song request they get it. Otherwise they get told we don't have that one but I'll find one close to it and we'll use that instead. Okay..makes sense. Looks like my laptop will be loaded with all of the requested songs as well as the latest Top 40 and other genre...Thanks _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyandinnocent 0 #27 April 10, 2007 I use 3 tracks on my videos, and have "sets" of tunes that 'go together' with eachother and the style of video I shoot. I also shoot different styles of videos, depending on the person (young, old, boy, girl, party loving tourist, etc...) and I always ask beforehand what genre of music they like, so I can get it right from the start. Sometimes, they bring their own music, and MAN, sometimes it's horrible. But they paid for it, and that's what they wanted. Some people have NO taste! One woman wanted me to put Celine Dion's "My heart will go on" over the whole thing. I did, under great duress... IM It's never too late for a low turn!

IM How did you choreograph something so horrible which obviously doesn't go with skydiving, lyrics or pace of the song? Just got a new Sima mixing table and it's badass...does all sorts of fades and digital effects such as mosaic, strobe, paint, etc.....audio, stills, music etc...really cool new toy _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snank 0 #29 April 12, 2007 QuoteQuoteHow long are your videos?...you have time for four songs?.....I'm doing good to stretch out two!..which includes interview/intro..and slow-mo, jump and canopy/landing.. About 8-9 minutes. With people paying 95 euro's for video and stills I figure I owe them that. I don't want to make 'em any longer because then they would become boring for family members on birthday parties... I've never bored anybody, anywhere, at anytime with my first skydiving video. haha. We've all done it...right?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RkyMtnHigh 0 #31 April 14, 2007 Has anyone used Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape? How is that going? I like the song and think most do but not sure how it relates to skydiving _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RkyMtnHigh 0 #32 April 15, 2007 What country songs work for you? _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #33 April 15, 2007 Lord know the real answer should be NONE (and I like some country) But here in Okie-home we get that request every now and then. I try to avoid Tim McGraw's "Live like you were dying" but it got requested a lot a few years back. Shania Twain's "Up" Has a decent beat. Other than that .... steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFFI 0 #36 April 18, 2007 Quote My beautiful video... RUINED... It was not ruined if that is what your client wanted. A good tandem video will be all about the student, what they want and how they want it. Most will never jump again, and these pictures will be something they show their grandchildren one day. Just think, you may be inspiring someone to make a skydive generations from now - (wow, look what great grandma did when she was young!)...Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care if music doesn't "go" with skydiving. Anything can go with a tandem video. Its not at all about what we as skydivers think is right. It's all about what the customer wants to see. Sometimes they don't know whats right, but when it comes to music people can be pretty damn picky and having something they like is way better.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
