John & Paul

This one is a little different than the posts as it is a non-Army music video I cut during some down time. Earlier in the year a friend of mine (Colum Henry) played at gig at the downtown Toronto Hard Rock Cafe.

Colum and his partner do a show as Paul McCartney and John Lennon BUT it isn't a typical Beatles cover show. The concept is that John and Paul get together for an accoustical jam session in the early seventies (several years after the Beatles break-up). In addition to being great musicians they do the show completely in character.

The footage was shot using one mini-DV camera (JVC DV300) during a 30 minute set. The soundtrack is the original Beatles recording as I did not do any on-site audio recording that night (other than the on-board mic).

So ladies and gentleman.. live on this very stage... the Beatles...

Santa Clause Parade

Our youth team took the a mini-DV camera down to the Toronto Santa Clause Parade and shot some footage of the Salvation Army's first participation in the Toronto Santa Clause Parade in 2005. Unfortunately due to crowds, moving around and finding a good vantage point was difficult so it was tough for them to get a large variety of footage... so as one does with these things... I did what I could when it came time to edit it.

This video edit was done for a "Thank You" DVD that would be given out to the band members that participated and only focuses on the band marching and doesn't include other parade footage.
