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/

Comment by Ron "Oily" Sprague on July 30, 2012 at 6:43am: Real good busking, Be! Liked the inadvertent Thanks loop, and the motorcyle zoom. Hmm. You gotta looper, dontcha? Have you thought of recording some ambient sounds and mixing 'em up as a rhythm track, like the vibe Maddog is referring to? Could be a song in there somewhere.

Comment by Maddog on July 30, 2012 at 6:35am: I liked it Be, I thought the thanks part gave it an 80's techno feel.

Comment by bemuzic on July 30, 2012 at 6:07am: thanks Nancy...yeah it made me laugh, so I decided to go with it rather than start again!

Comment by bemuzic on July 30, 2012 at 6:02am: thanks Pick..hey I just thought, I should have pretended that the bike sounds were planned and it was meant to sound like that!!

Comment by the anonymous pick on July 30, 2012 at 5:42am: natural raw yum yum .. remember my prediction ? ;-)

Comment by Diglydog on July 30, 2012 at 5:31am: Looks like a bit of a challenging day but it sounded great. Don't let the taxman see that video - with you saying "thanks" ever 10 seconds, he'll think you make a fortune :-)
