So, with today&#8217;s cameras and video technology, it&#8217;s inevitable that I would eventually make my own. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WwlIBolc_10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Today I uploaded a music video<\/a> for my song <em>&#8220;Can&#8217;t Look Past Ourselves,<\/em>&#8221; which is the lead-off track on my brand new album, <a href=\"https:\/\/danbaileyak.bandcamp.com\/album\/up-higher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Up Higher.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was shot using the Fujifilm X-T4 and XF35mm f\/2 lens, and assembled the final production together in Final Cut Pro. The motion background was created by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stef.with.f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stefania Buzatu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nice thing about the X-T4 and X-S10, is that it has the\u00a0flip-open screen that allows you to see the video if you&#8217;re filming yourself.\u00a0For models that don&#8217;t have this, there are a few\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3bf1HVC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">relatively inexpensive HDMI monitors<\/a>\u00a0out there that attach right to the hot shoe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cant-Look-Past-Video-Screen3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25345\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s incredibly rewarding to combine my two passions in life with this kind of creative outlet. Shooting and editing video has been a learning experience for me, and I&#8217;m amazed at how accessible it is to do this kind of project.\u00a0It&#8217;s quite easy to make a music video with iMovie and other apps as well. Even if you&#8217;re not trying to sync the much to the video, you can still pair video and audio clips together and get some really fun results!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original song, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/danbaileyak.bandcamp.com\/track\/cant-look-past-ourselves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Can&#8217;t Look Past Ourselves&#8221;<\/a> <\/em>was produced using Apple&#8217;s Logic Pro X, with IK Multimedia software, including Amplitube 5, Syntronik and MODO DRUM sample libraries, and T-Racks5 mixing and mastering plugins, and my trusty Fender Stratocaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6qOpchKizFLbtVe0qlYOee\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>A commentary on the relevant challenges that we always seem to face in our society, I feel that this is one of, if not the best song I&#8217;ve ever written and produced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being my third full music video, I feel like I&#8217;m getting into a groove. I&#8217;m becoming more knowledgeable about the techniques needed to create a production like this, and I&#8217;m increasingly conformable in front of the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WwlIBolc_10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I hope you enjoy the video<\/a>. Please leave a comment, and let me know what you think! <a href=\"https:\/\/danbailey.hearnow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You can stream and purchase the album on all of the streaming and music sites.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also watch the vertical version on my IGTV channel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/COtPf1cBo0c\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
