Rock on Michel!

Nice stuff.

Good see you have a creative outlet that probably helps you be more productive as a marketer. Very cool.
I have just done the same "try out the Cam" exercise. Sans drum kit :-)
The only practical comment I would make is to be sure that you get the cam to focus on YOU, not the foreground or background.
Oh, and I liked the drumming - a bit like a train crash, but without the melody.
My best

Anyway, what compression software are you using?
That was fantastic!!!
I forgot you had such great talents other than copywriting...
keep this kind of stuff coming and I hope Sylvie
and you both are feeling healthy.
Until we do the Spiderman ride again...;-)

I used AVS Media, at: http://www.avsmedia.com/
Specifically, I used the Video Tools software. But I didn't do any editing or anything special. Just converted a really large 300 MB .mpg file into a 12 MB .avi file, that I then converted with simple camtasia into a 10 MB .flv file.
Compression worked well eh? Thanks for sharing your software process, that's helpful - pretty damn fine qual for a 10Mb flv. Looked good down here in Oz!
(PS: I used to work in the music industry - senior corporate management - and had a drum kit in my office. Good to see other people do this too!!)
Cheers,
Robert
I thought the video was great for the first test.
:-)
Hope you and Sylvie are doing fine.
Keep up the great content.

Ya, if you look closely in the mirror, you can still the "edge" of my desk, I think. The room is actually one of our offices, where both my and Sylvie desks are located on one side, side by side, and a whole bunch of recording equipment on the other -- as well as a fridge, coffee machine, and yes, several pounds of Starbucks coffee!
Glad to see the back issue isn't keeping you from the drums!
Rock on!

I guess she's in the *other* room then, Michel?! ;o)
Just kidding. Seriously, good job on your first test. It's nice to see (and hear) this more personal side to you. I didn't notice but did you do the drumstick-twirling-in-finger thing?
And is there an IM band? I mean, you on drums... a few other marketers play guitar (Jeff Walker and Ed dale come to mind)... Armand Morin sings (yeehaa!). So just a keyboard player and I think we've got the makings of the next sensation?

Good job, Michel.
Glad to see your back is alright enough that you can still rawk.
Nice playing. I'm with Mickey about putting together a band. John Carlton on guitar comes to mind. I play bass (hint, hint).
But, being Canadian and all, I would have thought you would be idolizing and playing some Neil Peart. LOL!

I also applaud you for providing a great example of building relationships and connections with your market. By sharing and exposing your vulnerabilities you become a real person people feel they almost know and because they know and like you they can trust you...and we all know what that leads too $$$$$$$
Thank you. You should check out my "drumming page":

simply awesome and entertaining..my best to you both..
..YOU ROCKSTER YOU ;)
btw..change the header pic of you..not the most flattering angle..or at least PS it mate, a little vanity never hurts!
always..
what a difference..and great smile btw..
wish more marketers would smile and have fun..I'm personally getting a little tired of seeing pictures of marketing guys who supposedly earn so much from their expertise, yet look like they're favourite pet has just been run over..
..geeze if I were that fortunate I would be smiling like a Cheshire Cat!!
KUDOS to you mate:)
