Teenage Dream
// December 29th, 2010 // Music, Video
So what do I do with my time off? Make stupid youtube videos apparently! Actually, it was pretty fun, and it’s good to just try to be creative. I’ve been trying to write the next batch of songs for the next Ben Powell Sketchbook album, but I’m kind of stuck. So maybe doing this for a little bit will get me back on track (I still have to finish that Beatles one as well).
I have accumulated a few music apps in the year i’ve owned my iPad, and the Gorillaz apparently recorded their entire album on an ipad, so why not try to do a cover of my own? What took the longest was figuring out which sounds to use. Way back when I first got my iPad, I downloaded the cat piano app mostly as a novelty for Tay. I don’t think it was actually meant to be used to record anything, as there was a noticeable delay between when i pushed the key and the note came out, so it was incredibly hard to stay on rhythm. I ended up having to mute the track and just play along by sight (hoping I hit the correct notes).

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
i love it.
You should tweet this at Katy Perry, I follow her on Twitter and she’s on all the time. Maybe she’ll see it and get a kick out of it.
I agree with Jenny – this is awesome! Ha.
I enjoyed this a bunch. Would you mind posting what all the apps were that you used? The video made it to mainstream media outlets everywhere. I would expect a lot of visitors. I definitely will be stopping by your blog regularly.
Thanks Marcus! I’m glad you found your way to my blog. You can find the app info on the video on youtube (with links), but here they are again:

Very well done…need to try other hits!
hey.. I have a queation, how do you edit the video with those little boxes containing another video?.. LOL! Im so ignorant 1st time editing a video..
I’m not sure myself. I would guess that you put the other video clips into your video when you’re editing it, and then AFTER you upload it to youtube, you use their annotation feature to draw a box around the little clips to link to the new video.
Just a guess though, because i’ve never done it myself.
You do know that Katy Perry posted this on her official FB page, right?? WTG!
I did see that! thanks!
