This one is very special for me, as Angelos is my beloved brother and a great guitar player.
We discussed many things about this series of videos and we managed to record a bunch of them with great success.
The challenge for me was to combine audio with video in order to have both an eye and an ear pleasing result. Everything was recorded real time (one take).
Audio wise: I used two small diaphragm condenser microphones in a placement known as the ORTF recording method. Problem was that the center of the audio image seemed to suffer a little bit, so I placed another condenser mic (a large diaphragm this time) between those two. The result was REALLY nice, the audio image was fully covered and only minor EQ tweaks were needed to make it sound the way I wanted. Careful compression, a touch of reverb and..done!
Video wise: I have done various projects that required video editing, bit I have little to no experience when it comes to video shooting. I used DSLR cameras (initially one, but on some videos there are two) and tried to make the lighting as interesting as possible. Of course, there is ground to be covered on this aspect but I am still learning and enjoying it.
Recorded during Autumn of 2017.
