Splatoon: Ink Me Up - Pop Punk Cover | Christian Richardson

Описание: INK ME UP INSIDE

---

If any of you have noticed, I've been making weekly videos for 3 months now, and I'm putting an end to those now for a few reasons. One of which is I'm out of projects that are almost done, so completing any videos will take a while, especially with summer being over and school starting etc. The other reason is that I've noticed all of my video stats have been going down, views, comments, likes, EVERYTHING has gone down severely as I've done these weekly videos, and I think it's because I'm upload too often for people to watch. But at the same time it's puzzling because everyone says weekly videos is always a really beneficial thing to do for your channel??? idk man it's confusing

so I actually arranged this cover a few months back, and then basically forgot about it, and finally got it finished up now! I really like how it turned out. As soon as I first heard this song I knew I had to cover it, the whole splatoon OST is super punk and translates VERY well to guitar. I had a lot of fun putting this one together! I tried a couple new things like some weird phaser on my guitar and also using my voice and shouting lol

fun little story about filming this one: half of my coloured LED strips randomly stopped working, but whenever I tugged on the strips hard enough the whole thing would light back up. So right before recording the very first clip of this video, I gave it a tug and RIPPED THEM BY ACCIDENT so I only had HALF the amount of coloured light I usually do coming from those strips. Luckily, my friend David showed me a really cool thing where if you taped one of those coloured dividers over a clamp light, it'll make the bulb that colour. And it worked extremely well. For the pink shots it was harder though, since I didn't have a pink divider, I used a red one with a regular daylight bulb, as well as a blue light bulb underneath, along with the pink LED strips. And it worked pretty well somehow. A lot of the colour was brought out in post, but I do really like how this video looks (DESPITE THAT ONE CLIP THAT WAS OUT OF FOCUS UGHHH), and I hope I captured that colourful splatoon vibe nicely!

whooo boy that was a long description. Next video is a pretty big collab that I've been really excited about, stay tuned!
