My cover on Coldplay’s Viva la Vida
I thought about this during the week when I had this on repeat over and over…
Would it be cool if I played the piano and the cello together? And listening to it, you can pretty easily pick out the notes. Then I set off to youtube to see if there were any parts…but I decided that I could probably do it myself. I arranged the piano part first, and the cello part is almost the same stuff over and over again, with some differences in some parts. The piano part is actually a lot of the violin parts. Sorry violins! (not).
So this is what I had to do:
1. Record parts of piano using digital camera. (Part because it’s hard to do the whole thing without mistakes)
2. Record parts in cello digital camera. (Parts because the notes will be more uniform looped)
3. Take the audio off the movie clips and paste the piano parts all together. Paste the cello parts together.
4. Make sure the beats all align.
5. Sing the song with the arranged version and record.
6. Rip the audio off the video and paste it in. Makes sure all beats align.
7. Record video of me playing the piano while listening to the arranged version so the movements are the same. Same with cello. Same with voice.
8. Take all the clips, align the sounds with my arranged version, delete the audio.
So in total, this project allowed me to learn more about Adobe Audition, Adobe Soundbooth, and Sony Vegas.
Originally I had a lot more ideas for the video. I was going to have my stuffed Stitch beat out the drum…and other randomness…but near the end of this, I was already sick of working on it that I was ready to just spit it out.

oOo…how cool!
found this via student bloggers.
This is really cool, I totally respect you for doing this, I realize how much time it would have taken. But I think it’s awesome you were motivated enough to do this.
wow! very neat! I’ve converted and put you on my ipod now.
oh and GREAT idea about splitting the video and audio recording…but you should have worn smaller headphones for the cello part.
Hey Thelnie!
Wunder and I loved the video; great job!
