This is a 3D projection mapping music video for my remix of Avicii's Wake Me Up. I used Final Cut Pro 7 to line up all the images, and I built the 3D screens and surfaces out of foam core (the kind we used to use for science fair projects....). I didn't use any custom software or non consumer products to make this video - the projection mapping was done empirically by lining up images on foam core board and then cutting the board down to the appropriate sizes - no math or algorithms or projection mapping software.

100% original sound design - no samples used.
Filmed in one take, start to finish with an iPhone, two Canon Vixia home video cameras, and a Canon T3i.
Recorded, mixed and mastered with Ableton Live 8.

How I made the main bass sounds:
I started with live guitar (my Nelson Coquette), pitch shifted it an octave down using the Electro Harmonix POG pedal, and ran it through the Big Muff Germanium. Then I used Ableton's Saturator to square off the waveform. I added three layers of Native Instruments Massive to add some breath and cracking to the top end of the spectrum, giving the bass a fuzzy "broken speaker" flapping sound. I also added a sub bass (pure sine wave) that doubled the live bass take. More info and in-depth tutorials for my patrons at: http://www.Patreon.com/JackConte

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU'RE NOT A FAN:
Sorry for the disclaimer - but I want to filter out the riff raff! I hope you like this video. I poured my HEART and SOUL into the sound design, mixing, projections, and set building. It took me more time than I even feel comfortable divulging in public! The point is this: I LOVE MAKING STUFF, and I want to make more. You might think that ad revenue has us YouTubers rolling in copious sums of filthy green - after all, people get rich and famous by getting millions of views on YouTube, right? Like for instance, my Daft Punk Skrillex mashup, that recently crossed 5 million views. I got BALLS RICH from that video, right? I bought a boat with a jacuzzi on top, filled it with Don Perrignon, and hired Tiesto to dj my private yacht party....right? Actually... I didn't get a single penny from that video. Not a cent! It took me 30 days to make the audio and two weeks to animate the visuals - and I didn't earn enough to pay for a gummy bear. I'm not talking about a 32 oz bag of gummy bears on Amazon for $12.99 - I'm talking about A. SINGLE. GUMMY BEAR. And by the way, I'm not complaining - I know that online content is free. But PEOPLE are not free - it costs money to live on planet Earth! Here's what I'm asking you to do: even if you don't want to become a patron of me, please check out Patreon.com, and find a couple of artists that you LOVE, and help them make more beautiful things to put into the world. Here are a few recommendations to get you started: check out Smooth McGroove, who does incredible a capella covers of video game music: http://patreon.com/smoothMcGroove . Or check out Yotam Perel who makes hilarious animations: http://www.patreon.com/lazypillow . Or try Peter Hollens, whose voice makes anybody melt: http://www.patreon.com/peterhollens . It's getting harder and harder for creators to make a living these days - music is available for free now. Videos are free. Blog posts are free. If you enjoy someone's art, please consider becoming a patron and helping them make more. Thank you for reading this and for caring! When you are ready to join a community of the most generous and creative people on the internet, we'll be waiting for you!
