Ms Rece, this split screen is good; the zoomed black & white and the full red & black are good here. Split screens are often not good at all. So, good. A pity not all your LPR posts are complete, but kudos for making any at all. If it were me I wouldn't even be able to hold on to my hat, never mind some kind of camera thing. Your opening title stills are good too. "It's good and I like it." (Alice Smith)
Hi Jacob... how nice of you to say! I could not resist capturing Alice's brilliance. She is absolutely amazing. I kept missing the beginning of songs because I was trying to just chill and listen... but it is very hard for me *not* to want to capture the moment, hence the cut off beginning on some songs. I also spent a lot of time with limited tools to make sure this particular clip (shot portrait style) looked good for viewing in a landscape format, so I'm glad you like it! Question -- you wrote in quotes: "It's good and I like it" and you wrote Alice Smith after it -- is that your quote or Alice's quote? :)
Rece, I hadn't even noticed that you'd filled the landscape screen by splitting it with two portrait formats, but that's an inspired solution to the problem of showing one portrait film in a landscape format, and the zoom side of the split deals with the issue of inclusive perspective vs detail. Everyone with a portrait format should do that here - if they can. I was right, you are good. I like it. Because there's so little commercial pro material on her, all these amateur postings of Alice are really valuable archives for future generations. Alice in full voice is to rhythm & blues & rock & soul (etc.) what Maria Callas in full voice was to opera. (th-cam.com/video/IDIlpfnniZQ/w-d-xo.html). Let either of them in and something inside the listener starts to break up and fly off. Any impartial mind that's interested in musical expression needn't even particularly like either of their very different styles and material, to realise that no one compares with them for guts and heart and soul. And yes those were Alice's words, though when I looked for the clip again yesterday on YT I couldn't find it. But in at least one interview about maybe 10 years ago, when asked to describe her music (her genre!?) she paused . . . then smiled and said, "It's good and I like it." She's also said that Epic/Sony told her she had to choose a genre (like she couldn't just magnificently sing whatever moved her) and she said she'd rather sing in the shower than do that kind of a deal . . . Imagine being such a fool as to tell Alice Smith what to sing. Might as well have the Lost Dogs Home as your record label.
Πολύ ωραία
