Roll em'

Hello Music Friends,

Over the past several months I've delved into creating photo montages and video editing. I've really taken a liking to both. Prior to being involved in music, I expressed my self visually through drawings and paintings. It felt quite natural to have branched off into photography and videography.
I like the ease of use on Windows Movie Maker. I know that there are many sophisticated programs on the market, however WMM just flows so easily for me and it has been my introduction to effects, splits, transitions, fades and other video tricks. My newest creation was filmed in Angouleme, France and features concert footage of Trinidad and Tobago based steel orchestra Bp Renegades in action. Keep in mind that I filmed this with a simple point and shoot Canon sd 750 digital camera.

C'est Magnifique-BP Renegades French Tour 09

Hello Music Friends,

I had the pleasure of witnessing a standing ovation and triple encore afforded to Trinidad based steel orchestra BP Renegades after they delighted concert goers in the French city of Angouleme. The Renegades repertoire consisted of Baroque pieces by Schubert and Bach as well as reggae songs by Bob Marley,(The crowd sang the chorus of " No Woman no Cry" as the musicians played) timeless Kitchener calypsos and "Groovey Soca" hits by Destra and Krosfyah amongst others. Row G seat 3 gave me an upclose and personal view of the band. I was so proud of the bands performance and the hospitable reception they got from the French audience. That night was a proud moment for Trinidad and for the steel band art form.

Best,
Minsky
