WYO Christmas Video 2020

Hello!

Our spring video was a great success. I have had so much great feedback from so many people and it has been viewed around a thousand times already. It was also played on radio at least twice.

Now its time to make a Christmas video! I have picked the song - Christmas Eve/Sarajevo. We played it in our Christmas concert a year ago.

Please read these important points carefully before you start:

1. You have until Sunday the 29th November to finish and return your video. That is less than two weeks! I suggest you practise your part for a week and then record yourself. Don't attempt to record your part straight away!
2. Video yourself playing your part (landscape format).
3. Send it to our administrator Anna - admin@wyo.org.uk! Please make sure you use Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or something else that doesn't crash your Anna's inbox.
3. If you play more than one instrument. Please feel free to make multiple videos.
4. Make sure there is something Christmassy in view - A funny hat, tinsel, a twinkling reindeer...
5. Use the backing tracks below when you record. Ideally use earphones hidden to the camera.
6. Its important to use the right volume when you record so you can hear both yourself and the track.
8. Make sure you tune to 440Hz before you start.
9. If you are a string player, please use suggested bowings. It looks better!
10. Its not essential, but... if you can use a good microphone and be in a room without too much echo it would make it sound better in the mix.
If you struggle with any of this, please email Anna.

I soooo lock forward to actually seeing you all soon. Fredrik
