Post by ken »

Hi All,

We may not be able to meet up in person yet, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate another year of Song Fight with our annual Song Fight Live Celebration! I hope this isn't too short notice, but let's have an online show on Saturday August 26th. You can register to participate here by Sunday August 20th: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... Q/viewform

Here's what you need to do:
1. Register online to let us know you intend to submit a video. The form is editable, it will send you a copy of your responses and then you can use that link to come back and provide a download link by the deadline.
2. Make your awesome video. 2-3 songs, 10 minutes or under. Be creative.
3. Provide a link to download your video by August 20th.
4. Show up online to watch and chat on August 26th at 7PM PDT https://www.youtube.com/songfight

Get excited!

Ken

Thanks for taking the initiative, Ken! This should be fun. And hopefully next year we can get back together IRL.

Is that the document you meant to share? I'm seeing a document on guidelines for the use of the BSS rehearsal room.

Ken is aware and is going to update with the new link but in the interim I believe this is the link, hopefully I'm not overstepping here:

I just wanted to give this thread a bump. I hope everyone's videos are coming along.

I plugged the date on the 2 FB sites. Who has the Twitter/X keys to do a post I can share?

So I'm playing music with my friends on Sunday and I might try to corral them into backing me on a couple SF tunes. But if that doesn't pan out, I might still try to send in some G&G video.

Question: Do I have to submit one single video or could I send in two (as in one for each song)?

Thanks for organizing and not letting the tradition die an apathetic death (you might still get the apathy but at least it didn't die on your watch this year!)

One is preferred, but I'm sure two will be fine.

Thanks Ken! The main reason I asked is because I'll probably just shoot the video with my iPhone app which won't let me stop/pause and resume videos (or maybe I'm dumb and just don't know how). I'll try for one.

I'm having trouble with chronic pain as usual. I'd love to record something. Not sure if it'll be any good though.

Works for me - I'm trying to get a BYD video together but might run out of time. It'll probably be around that long.

I finally got a set recorded today. I ended up managing to do a lot more than I was expecting to do, even. Not my best performance by any means but it's better than nothing. Also I went a little over the 10 minute time. I hope that's okay.

Gosh I am out of practice.

Just submitted a video. It's under 10 minutes, but was there a limit on file size this year? Just realised I uploaded my Premiere export rather than uploading to YouTube and downloading their encode for a smaller file size this time. If there's any problem with the size, I can do that to sort it out.
