This is a 3D projection mapping music video for my remix of Avicii's Wake Me Up. I used Final Cut Pro 7 to line up all the images, and I built the 3D screens and surfaces out of foam core (the kind we used to use for science fair projects....). I didn't use any custom software or non consumer products to make this video - the projection mapping was done empirically by lining up images on foam core board and then cutting the board down to the appropriate sizes - no math or algorithms or projection mapping software.
100% original sound design - no samples used.
Filmed in one take, start to finish with an iPhone, two Canon Vixia home video cameras, and a Canon T3i.
Recorded, mixed and mastered with Ableton Live 8.
How I made the main bass sounds:
I started with live guitar (my Nelson Coquette), pitch shifted it an octave down using the Electro Harmonix POG pedal, and ran it through the Big Muff Germanium. Then I used Ableton's Saturator to square off the waveform. I added three layers of Native Instruments Massive to add some breath and cracking to the top end of the spectrum, giving the bass a fuzzy "broken speaker" flapping sound. I also added a sub bass (pure sine wave) that doubled the live bass take. More info and in-depth tutorials for my patrons at: http://www.Patreon.com/JackConte

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU'RE NOT A FAN:
Sorry for the disclaimer - but I want to filter out the riff raff! I hope you like this video. I poured my HEART and SOUL into the sound design, mixing, projections, and set building. It took me more time than I even feel comfortable divulging in public! The point is this: I LOVE MAKING STUFF, and I want to make more. You might think that ad revenue has us YouTubers rolling in copious sums of filthy green - after all, people get rich and famous by getting millions of views on YouTube, right? Like for instance, my Daft Punk Skrillex mashup, that recently crossed 5 million views. I got BALLS RICH from that video, right? I bought a boat with a jacuzzi on top, filled it with Don Perrignon, and hired Tiesto to dj my private yacht party....right? Actually... I didn't get a single penny from that video. Not a cent! It took me 30 days to make the audio and two weeks to animate the visuals - and I didn't earn enough to pay for a gummy bear. I'm not talking about a 32 oz bag of gummy bears on Amazon for $12.99 - I'm talking about A. SINGLE. GUMMY BEAR. And by the way, I'm not complaining - I know that online content is free. But PEOPLE are not free - it costs money to live on planet Earth! Here's what I'm asking you to do: even if you don't want to become a patron of me, please check out Patreon.com, and find a couple of artists that you LOVE, and help them make more beautiful things to put into the world. Here are a few recommendations to get you started: check out Smooth McGroove, who does incredible a capella covers of video game music: http://patreon.com/smoothMcGroove . Or check out Yotam Perel who makes hilarious animations: http://www.patreon.com/lazypillow . Or try Peter Hollens, whose voice makes anybody melt: http://www.patreon.com/peterhollens . It's getting harder and harder for creators to make a living these days - music is available for free now. Videos are free. Blog posts are free. If you enjoy someone's art, please consider becoming a patron and helping them make more. Thank you for reading this and for caring! When you are ready to join a community of the most generous and creative people on the internet, we'll be waiting for you!

Special thanks to Ableton, Keith McMillen Instruments, and Novation for their support. In the interest of full disclosure, KMI and Novation sent me some free gear recently, but they are not paying me. I'm linking to the companies and products below not because I'm contractually bound to, and not because they asked me to, but because I believe in their products and I want to. They are making the tools of our music making generation, and they are keeping them affordable and deep. Again, I'm not getting paid to say any of this. I just like their products and they deserve a serious shout out. Here's what I used in this video:

By the way - a lot of folks are asking how much of this is original, and how much is samples from Daft Punk and Skrillex. I did an analysis of my track: There are 4059 clips in the Ableton session. 18 of them are Daft Punk and Skrillex Samples, the rest are original sound design. All of the bass sounds, the strings, guitars, pianos, synths, are all original. The Skrillex and Daft Punk samples are almost entirely vocals, with only a couple of obvious exceptions.
Samples Used:
Vocals from Weekends by Skrillex
Vocals from Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk
Vocals from Robot Rock by Daft Punk
Vocals from Rock n Roll by Skrillex
Vocals from Technologic by Daft Punk
Vocals from One More Time by Daft Punk
The only non-vocal samples used were:
One string slide sound from Rock n Roll at 1:53
Some Daft Punk hits and squeaks at 1:55 and 00:11 from Harder Better Faster Stronger
The elephant ish sound at 1:56 from Skrillex's Rock n Roll
But all of the other sounds, like the basses (including talking basses), guitars, synths, string sounds, and everything else about the sound design is all original.

In my last video, I asked for you guys to send me photos - your response overwhelmed me! Thank you so much for sharing your memories with me. I got such wonderful stories, emails, and photos from you. It was an incredibly moving experience for me, so I hope you enjoy seeing the photos that received.
Because there were over 700 photos, I had to quadruple up, otherwise the video would have been 45 minutes, and I didn't want to exclude anyone. I apologize if your photo is smaller than you were hoping, but I only did it in an effort to be fair to everyone.
Even with quadrupled photos, the video was about 15 minutes, so I laid down some VS4 B Sides and other unreleased tracks as the audio for the slide show. My gift to you, in return for your incredible photos, is the collection of songs in the video:
http://www.mediafire.com/?te26kom7kj8g5
There are four songs there.
1. That's Just Fine
2. Humboldt County
3. Young and Healthy
4. I Love You Still
You guys are the best. I can't thank you enough for participating in this!

Holy cow! I've gotten over 700 photos from everyone in just a few days. I have way more photos than I was expecting, but I'll figure something out! I really don't need any more photos at this point - but THANK YOU MILLIONS for the incredible stories and images. It has been a great experience for me to actually SEE you guys and the people//animals/instruments you care about. I feel truly blessed having you all as fans!

I Would Be Happy, By Jack Conte
Lyrics:
I don't see you.
I would be happy
just to see you raw
with nothing to hide your face,
nothing to set the stage.
I would be happy
just to see you plain.
You can throw out the box.
You don't need it at all.
I don't see you.
I would be happy
just to have you here.
We don't need plans at all,
we don't need painted walls.
I would be happy
just to see you raw.
Nothing to hide your fears,
better to see you clear.
I don't see you.
Nothing to hide your face,
nothing to set the stage.
I would be happy just to see you raw...
I would be happy just to see you raw...
I would be happy just to see you raw...

Lyrics:
Away we go,
away we float.
Time to lift away.
Away we rise,
away we fly.
Time to drift away.
And time will tell if all is real.
Time's been right all my life,
through all my mistakes.
Time to slip away.
Away we burn,
away we turn.
Time to lift away.
Away we rise,
away we fly.
Time to drift away.
And time will tell if all is real.
Time's been right all my life,
through all my mistakes.
Time to slip away.
Away we go,
away we float.
Time to lift away.
I felt like I needed to practice some new miking and mixing techniques. I've also been listening to the Black Keys record, Brothers, a lot, and I love the sounds they're able to get. So for this video, I tried to get into some nitty gritty details of groove and production to practice my time, mixing, and general music-making skillllzzz. I hope you enjoy the grooves. It was fun making a non-song but still music ish kind of video.

"Mercenary," by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
If you don't want to,
then you don't have to.
If you don't need it,
then just don't take it.
We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.
You take the one road,
and I'll take the other.
You take the payload,
and I'll duck and cover.
We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.
Mercenary.
Mercenary.
We got a switchblade,
they got machine guns.
We got sore legs,
and they're coming to get us.
We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.
We are the mercenaries,
the revolution babies.
If you don't want to, then you don't have to.
Mercenary.
Mercenary.

"Long Long Time Ago" is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:

Long Long Time Ago, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
He lived down by the farmhouse
where the stray cats sleep at night,
just a deck of cards,
two fold out chairs,
and the ghost of his wife.
And the devil lived in his doorway,
kept out the love and hope.
He lived a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
He lost one yellow Sunday,
when he reached into his throat
and pulled out all the people
that he had been
and tried to choke.
But together they overwhelmed him,
and he couldn't help but explode.
He lost a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
Asked a man in town,
and they said he's lawless.
Said he was strange, and he was all alone.
No place to go,
he went up in smoke.
Well he left in a hurry
when the cops kicked in his door.
He jumped out the second story,
limped down the road
and hijacked a car.
He stuck his head out the broken window,
and he howled like the devil's own.
He left a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
Asked a man in town,
and they said he's lawless.
Said he was strange, and he was all alone.
No place to go,
he went up in smoke.
He flew right past the border,
he ditched the car and dyed his hair.
He took out his deck of cards
for a couple last rounds
of solitaire,
and he slept just like a baby,
though the night was hard and cold.
He flew a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.
When he passed through the devil's doorway,
well he knew just where he was.
He threw back his head and howled
as he resigned himself
to dust.
And they found him in the Rio Fuerte.
His body was still afloat.
He passed a long, long, long time,
a long time ago.

"Off with His Head," composed and orchestrated by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Off with his head, it's all for the best,
my eyes hang down with sorrow.
I moan and bellow for lost tomorrows,
gone away.
Off with his head, you lose what you bet.
Your will reigns down with terror,
oh feel the horror, oh see the fury
upon us all.
Lie in the sun - I keep my guard on --
cuz nothing ever comes when you expect.
Shoot all our guns, let's kill off our sons!
We've too much time,
and too much life,
too many precious days.
Off with his head, it's all for the best.
Your will reigns down with terror,
oh feel the horror, oh see the fury
upon us all.
Lie in the sun - I keep my guard on --
cuz nothing ever comes when you expect.
Shoot all our guns, let's kill off our sons!
We've too much time,
and too much life,
too many precious days.
Off with his head, it's all for the best,
my eyes hang down with sorrow.
I moan and bellow for lost tomorrows,
gone away.

"The Time Has Come," by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
The time has come
for all good men
to sink or swim or die.
The boats are broke
and the bow is stuck,
and the waves are crashing high.
Oh! Wouldn't it be nice
to have a bit more time?
Yeah. Wouldn't it be nice
to have a bit more time?
The time has come
for all good men
to jump or float or fly.
The cockpit cracked
and the captain croaked
and the wind is tearing by.
Oh! Wouldn't it be nice
to have a bit more time?
Yeah. Wouldn't it be nice
to have a bit more time?
The time has come
for all good men
to want or wish or try.
Our brains are blank
and our bones are breaking
and the years are blowing by.
Oh! Wouldn't it be nice
to have a bit more time?
Yeah. Wouldn't it be nice
to have a bit more time?

Sinking Feeling, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Maybe I'll come true,
but I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.
But I don't care, do you?
I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.
Tell your friends about it,
maybe they'll love it, maybe they'll hate it.
You never know, it could be a lie.
You get what you choose,
and I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.
Tell your friends about it,
maybe they'll love it, maybe they'll hate it.
You never know, it could be a lie.
Maybe I'm just blue,
but I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.
Tell your friends about it,
maybe they'll love it, maybe they'll hate it.
You never know, it could be a lie.
Maybe I'll come true,
but I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.
Yeah I got this sinking feeling
that nothing's real anymore.

Time of Your Life, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Still searching,
still guessing,
still lurching,
but are you having the time of your life?
Still waiting,
still pacing,
still playing,
but are you having the time of your life?
Help me!
I don't know what to be anymore!
Still checking,
still chasing,
still dressing,
but are you having the time of your life?
Same faces,
same stories,
same places.
Help me!
I am salt in the sea.
Still searching,
still guessing,
still lurching,
but are you having the time of your life?
Are you having the time of your life?

2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
(Note: some of the VideoSongs for this album were filmed a year ago, and that makes it difficult to be certain about some audio/video syncing questions. The intention was to be 100% accurate and to follow the VideoSong rules, but I thought I should add this disclaimer in an attempt to be completely transparent)

Make the Grade, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae,
the whale bones, so pretty,
but my body
still didn't make the grade,
still didn't make the grade.
Somewhere in the basement I once had
a good idea but I can't find it.
My mind is drawing blanks
to fill the page,
but I still won't make the grade,
still won't make the grade.
I'm regaining patience
in the better half of man,
and the stories we'll remember
are from a different hand.
Somewhere at the bottom of my brain
I just don't care and I don't want to.
But I do, anyway...
anyway, I
still won't make the grade,
still won't make the grade.
I'm regaining patience
in the better half of man,
and the stories we'll remember
are from a different hand.
Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean
I am floating past the algae,
the whale bones, so pretty,
but my body
still won't make the grade...
still won't make the grade...
still won't make the grade.

I Know, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
I can't be in the sky. I can't stay out at night. I can't stay in the cold. I know. I can't forget my health. I can't be by myself. I can't be all alone. I know. I can't be out of touch. I can't throw out my watch. I can't just up and go. I know. I can't be on the moon. I can't be feeling down. I can't belive in ghosts. I know. I can't be wasting time. I can't be wasting time. I can't be wasting time.

By the way, the bullet time effect is achieved by filming and recording the guitar track 8 times in an arc, then switching between the angles at about 2-3 frames per second. All of the layers are still in the audio mix, so it still follows all the VideoSong rules.

Watch your mouth
Because your speech is slurred enough

With just a little more poise than that

Lonely Ghost, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
And on this casket's back sits a little lonely ghost. He misses his old lungs and wishes he had his throat, those good old days! Daylight will wash away. It's going to fade, yeah it will fade, and the darkness will take it's place. It's going to come, yeah it will come, so I'm grateful for this consciousness oasis that paints the darkest carpet with a sudden streak of white. We burn so bright!
I will swallow it whole, I'm going to run, yeah I will run until my body breaks down. I'm filling up, yeah fill me up. Fill me up!
Don't look back: you'll turn to salt. So just march on, let moments melt.
I'm awake. Wake up! Wake UP! I'm awake, I'm AWAKE! And I'll never piss that away. Let's be loud, let's love, let's make some sound! Let's make some sound!

"Impression," by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
You got a lot of plans, it doesn't make you gold. You got a lot of breath, it doesn't give you a soul. Cuz maybe I'm awake, maybe I'm asleep. You got a second half, it doesn't make you whole. You got a lot of thoughts, well you got nothing at all. Cuz maybe I'm a mind, or maybe I'm a brain. You got a humble heart, it doesn't mean you kneel. Continuous from the start, it doesn't make it real. Cuz maybe I'm alive, or maybe it's an impression.

Trains and Window Collection by Jack Conte:
It was a tired morning, and the sky yawned as I bought a one-way ticket to Salt Lake City and boarded the 8:05 Amtrak headed Northeast. The train dipped in and out of the empty gorges whose walls were still black from the dynamite blasts that once dug them out of the ground, and the window collected the broken images outside (whose only purpose left in the physical world was to entertain the endless parade of Amtrak voyeurs passing hour after hour through the valley): a dead sofa, a gasping tire, and a hoodless Dodge with no wheels that sat sunken in the red California clay. Unimpressed, the train marched forward with a pointed tenacity, matched only on occasion by a sad artist or an unemployed father of three who planted themselves firmly on the tracks and surrendered quietly as the train delivered them back to the City of Ashes, where we're all from, and where we're all eventually going. Then in an instant the sun set, and the yellow dusted shadows froze grey, and dusk swallowed the whole valley without remorse, because of course there's nothing really to swallow. It's just motion: the motion of a steel train and its wide-eyed passengers who watch the moments collect one by one on their windows, blending seamlessly into an animation, fleeting and fictional.

Lyrics:
Born of the sun, still cold. Born of the race, still slow. I can't complain, I'm alright. I'll take the blame, it's alright. Born of the clouds, still down. Born of the lost dogs, still found. I had enough. I'm all done, but here it comes again. It's all done. We'll wail it out, we'll wait it out. There's still time. We're fine for now. We're fine for now. Then, out of nowhere:

Get Happy, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm sad. Sometimes I feel good, sometimes it's bad. But when I am happy, and I'm holding your hand, nothing can stop me, not the sea or the sand. But when I am sad, and my head's in a whirl, I just can't get happy, not for diamonds or peals.

Bloody Nose, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Count your bones one by one. Lie awake at night. Underground, boxed and glum, left you there for rot. All my fears are overgrown, will someone burn this grove? Those August nights.... They burn hot as hell, and you wake up sweating dreams. It casts a spell. Welcome home! It's been a while. Do you miss your head, with your tattered clothes and your bloody nose? Aren't you glad to be rid of the smell? Not at all? Not at all! I'll miss the fog through headlight wash and bed and breath and touch, but I'll brave it out! Yeah, I'll brave it out! There's no use getting down.

THANKS TO EVERYONE who offered to help me cart stuff around! You guys are amazing, many thanks! I'll be emailing you soon.
Lyrics:
Watch as I turn from a man into a hopeless, savage beast. Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up! Put your money at my feet. I'm a magician, I'll say it's real. I got nothing up my, nothing up my sleeve. I hope they never find me out. I'm just a faker and a cheat. I don't know how I got into this place, but I must get out before I lose my face. The freaks and clowns, they got their bag of tricks, and then they're down, they're out, just like a little itch. My money is on the kid wit nothing but an empty cardboard box. He wants to fill it with some pretty sounds and colors of his choice. He keeps a knowing eye on everyone. He knows they're just a hoax, cuz they tell him all at once, "You got to find the way. You got to find the way." I don't know how I opened up my throat, but I did somehow, and it all came spilling out. And the critics, the clowns, they try to shut me up, but I won't come down. I'm happiest when I sing out loud. I'd like to make a promise to all my past and future selves. I am, I was, and will be an outcast from the caves where silence dwells.

Kitchen Fork, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Wake from a dream where I was stuck losing my teeth. Lucky for me it was all fake or not what it seemed. Where, oh where do we go next, haunted pillow beneath my head? Where does it go? Pick out her heart with a kitchen fork, pin down her arms. And wake from the scar still feeling sick. Where did it get started? Where, oh where did this come from? Oh my God, my head's a gun. I let myself go. Who's this kid who wakes each night? And takes me on these wretched rides? Once I flew above the cars, and the wind blew gratitude through my heart. I let it all go. Save us from our own two heads. Can I keep just one and ditch the rest?

We Grew Up So Well is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
We Grew Up So Well, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Staring at a trash can, thinking about the things you've thrown away. You love our pretty planet, yeah, but not enough to stay. No, please don't go! You always took care of your hands. How could you break them like you did? Like a bug on a window. Is that what you wanted to be? A moment's pause? All you see is madness. Nobody can show you the method. No please, wait, no! So I remember you in lyric, recycled soul reborn as ink from a desperate pen. Is that what you wanted to be? Just a topic of mine? Oh, I dream of your soul, I wish you could know that we grew up so well. Oh, you didn't know. You didn't know that soon you'd be okay. Echoing bellows, so slow like gallows. Is that what you wanted to be? A still life's pose? A photograph? A story told? A friend I had?
