Everyone with a mobile phone seem to expect this kind of technology.
Everyone's got a video haven't they ---er no actually.
I agree watching a bunch of drunks dancing to Come on Eileen or Hi Ho Silver Lining to Black Lace --yes really that's been demanded at my next Wedding might not be conclusive evidence you are THE greatest disco in town
I have noticed there is a problem with vids in the darkness of a disco which seem to struggle with low light unless you have a pro set up, as opposed to my £80 canon camera, which has actually produced some good results. in good light !
Well after You Tube spent millions on improving their technology and my video for free:beer1:
If you do go down this route I would get pro help as a poor video is probably worse than none at all and I have seen some very naff ones on web sites and wondered why they bothered.
Luckily I had one shot at a Wedding by a pro ( courtesy of Paul James Disco and Lighting ) and another by a pro at a Wedding ( courtesy of Clive @CRS)
The downside is we have people saying can we come and watch you? Not always possible at private events of course--but that's another thread:daft:
I'm not sure if you could publish music on you tube now as such as they have tightened up on the copyright, even blocking some obscure bluegrass tracks which I tried to include on a promo video.
Obviously you would need to publish on your own site which I guess might be expensive and complicated, Marc can advise on that.
My son and I have i have about 50 between us on you tube.
