Fucking pillows don't use enough piano... T_T

That is very true, and unfortunate because i've seen your skills on youtube and wow, you're amazing dude!

I don't think we have to create a clone of what the pillows did. In fact, that would just be lame, because the pillows will have done it better. We can add a piano part, or better yet, a synth part, or we can replace a part (e.g. lead guitar) with a keyboard.

I'd do it if I had an amp right now.

That is a good idea! So Tidus, you can do any part you want, just substitute guitar or bass for Piano or Keyboard Synth would be awesome too!

Let's start with audio/video recording tips and ideas. I know GR has put up some pretty decent videos, whose quality would work well with other audio. I also know some of you whose videos' sound quality would totally kill anything else we attached to it. So what do you people do? Video camera? iLife + iSight/microphone? Or do you record the audio and video separately (which may be the best idea in this case, even if nobody has done it before)?

Yeah, that's something that we're definitely going to need to do first because i've never done this before lol.

I can record the audio alone and you can add it to the video. Which instrument will be shown in the video? That's where I get confused.

I have a friend that plays the drums, and he also is good with audio/video editing, so I might be able to get him to play some songs for us.

All of them, through split screen, alternation, or both at the same time or separately. Or all of the above.

Edit: Also, it would be nice to have only IMers on this project, but if we must use outside help, then we must.

A combination would probably look coolest.

How about this, where parts shrink, or grow according to which part of the song is they're playing

OK. Well, we need to get those drums recorded first. Then we can actually started working towards this. I see this being really cool.

This can be our 20th Anniversary thing. You know, like on Moletown they're just doing random songs.

Moletown?

Anyway, it's not completely necessary to record drums first if everyone uses some manner of metronome.

I'm classically trained, so using the metronome is like normal for me. I have to admit though, I hate the thing pretty thoroughly.

Oh yeah, Moletown is the other big English pillows forum out there. They're throwing together a pillows 20th tribute album as well. I'm helping out with that too. If we really do make these things, somebody should take a DVD/CD copy and give it to the pillows next time they come over to the states.
