I joined indabamusic.com tonight and entered YoYo Ma's contest...

The object is to create a duet... he did his part, which is available for downloading, along with the music sheet.

I'm not a musician but I recently made a vocal duet out of two solo pieces. This new challenge is different. To help me think about what to do, I put the music sheet and Yo-Yo's tune together in draft 1 of this video.

The panning music sheet was done in Photo Story 3 and then blue-screened in Movie Maker to play over background video.

I read the rules a bit closer... looks like I can't make a submission unless I actually do the music or vocal. Seems fair. Maybe I can help inspire someone else to enter.

I swapped the background video... hope you don't mind John and Jim

Nice done, i will remember this idea.
But how did you realize the overlay in MovieMaker? I could not find other overlays then still .PNG images.
rgds,

Hi Jan... in Movie Maker, it's not an overlay, just another video clip. The PS3 story (wmv file) has a blue background. My background movie clip is first on the timeline, followed by the story. Then I overlap them as much as possible and apply a 'bluescreen' custom transition which makes the blueness transparant.

Thanks, I understand.

Yeah, right--a piece of cake. Whaaaa? I didn't understand a word you or Jan said. But the shot of the kittens with the dog trotting into the frame is priceless.
Warm wishes to you and Bernadette, John, for the brave, new year!

Again there's an interesting contrast... this time between comments about the kittens/dog scene. See Barbara's comment made to the other version of this video.

One of the big positives about 2008 has been the videos on the channels of vimeo and the intelligent, kind and constructive comments from those who make and frequent them. Happy New Year Ray.
