Ray,
The mix on Joan of Arc sounds very good; bass and lead guitar standout.
The vocalist has a good voice and feel for the song... though he`s not as well dressed as Mr Cohen liked to be!
Some nice period images in the video.

I agree about the videos. That is some super video trickery.

Thanks Dave,
It helped that Chris recorded quite a bit of stuff to piece together.

Thanks fj,
Hopefully they hold attention long enough for the song to grab.

Thanks Robert,
I enjoyed the bass recording the most - it's was 1st after the BIAB drums and most fun.
Yeah, Chris did attempt satorial elegance with the flatcap but LC was a fedora man.

Ta Mario,
Simple & cheap software but the video in Joan is three and four layers deep in parts.

Very cool videos on both these songs. You nailed the Cohen vibe on Joan of Arc. Nah not a bit was a cool punk vibe. Excellent vocal and excellent guitar player

Ray,
You are moving fast smile Cool videos!
Both soundtracks are excellent. "Nah, Not At All" is one of the best tracks that I have heard by P.B.
Chris is perfect for Joan of Arc remake! Congrats to you and all people participated!

P.S. I wonder how these vids would look in B&W? In college I used to experiment with video a little and what I found is that mono colors are very forgiving when playing with light fx compared to full color.

Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Ray,

I think you did a very nice job on those videos and more, the playing of the songs. I admit, I prefer the song from Cohen the most. Chriss did a fine job there. I got some goosepimps!
The mix of images in images sometimes made me think Chriss ate something, but that was a part of an image that shines through his open mouth.

And another thing: Band in a Box is not written as you did... No it was funny to see!
The other video was very nice as well, but not so special as the first one.

Thanks for all the nice comments. It was fun doing JOA, so a special thanks to Ray for putting it all together. Next time I'll wear the appropriate headwear.

Cheers Chris

"Simple & cheap software..."

Irrespective of that the vids are fine. The imagery threads the needle
by being supportive of the songs all the way through and never
distracting.

Really good as is the audio!
