Busking through a storm brewing, noisy motorbikes and various technical issues!!

I recently got a smartphone. Got an adaptor thing so I could attach it to my gorillapod, which I wrapped around the handle of my trolly. Thought this would be a quick, easy, fun way to film bits of me busking.
Boy was I wrong about that!!!...after AGES trying to get the sound and vid synced on the 3gp files and getting them into my video editing software without it crashing, I learnt one just one thing...that NEXT TIME I'M NOT USING THAT BLOODY PHONE TO MAKE A VIDEO!!!
Flawed as it is, with a few jumps and going out of synch part way through, I thought I'd put one of the vids on.
A storm was brewing, noisy motorbikes went by, me saying "thanks" to someone who put money in the hat got into a loop, but coping those things is part of what busking's about I think : -)
The song I'm singing is "Shouting Underwater" from my new album "Out From The Shadows" which is available here http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

@ maddog - cheers, techno eh?...could take me off into a whole new direction!

@ Oily - thanks, yep I've been planning to experiment more with recording sounds and looping them. It's on my to do list..feels like I've only scratched the surface so far!

@ Slowhound - lol, yeah well that's what I thought, that people wouldn't know if it was meant to be like that..it's one advantage of doing my own stuff : -)

Comment by James on July 30, 2012 at 11:12am: looks like it worked out, !!! i would like a chance to play in one of these deadly storms, down/ over here, that would be fun as long as my stuff didn't get wet

Comment by SlowHound on July 30, 2012 at 6:47am: I listened before I read the caption. I figured the "thanks" was meant to be there. Wish I was confident enough to get up in front of strangers like that. Very cool.
