Guides to Virtual Choir

Dalam rangka pandemi ini, paduan suara tidak dapat berlatih bersama, apalagi melayani bersama. Karena itu, maka mulailah inisiatif untuk mengadakan paduan suara online, untuk pelayanan. 

Agar hasilnya bisa optimal, anggota paduan suara perlu mengingat, bahwa mereka bernyanyi bukan sebagai solois, tapi sebagai bagian dari paduan suara yang besar. Jadi meskipun saat rekaman, kadang merasa kurang sempurna, selama anggota paduan suara memberikan yang terbaik (bukan asal-asalan yah), saya percaya Tuhan memberkati pelayanan kita semua.

Nah, tentu saja ada beberapa tips yang bisa kita ikuti, supaya hasil rekaman bisa bagus dan maksimal. Contohnya: rekaman memakai tripod dalam ruangan yang pencahayaan cukup dan tidak membelakangi matahari/sumber cahaya adalah beberapa cara yang bisa kita pakai untuk menaikkan kualitas video kita.

Berikut ini adalah guidelines / tips untuk merekam video untuk paduan suara online, yang aku buat untuk PS Agape. Semoga bisa membantu.

Note: Panduan ini khusus untuk rekaman Virtual Choir yang tidak memakai green screen.

Tips peletakan posisi orang dalam layar kamera (khusus untuk rekaman Virtual Choir yang tidak memakai green screen).



Kadang-kadang anggota choir pada nanya, "kan VC nanti hasilnya penampakan wajah di kotak yang portrait, kok kamu minta rekamannya landscape yah? ngga salah tah?"

Ya, kebanyakan VC memang menampakkan wajah di kotak portrait, untuk menghemat tempat. Tapi untuk paduan suara dengan anggota 30 atau kurang, kadang pembagian grid nya masih menghasilkan kotak berbentuk landscape. Misalnya untuk video 720p dengan grid 6x5, itu hasilnya seperti di bawah ini:


Dan kadang-kadang, video editor juga ingin meng-highlight penampilan group kecil, dalam layout yang berbeda-beda. Misalnya seperti ini:


Video yang diambil dalam posisi landscape, bisa dipotong menjadi portrait, tapi sebaliknya itu tidak bisa. Jadi karena itu, harap video nya landscape yah, teman-teman. 

Permintaan landscape/portrait akan berbeda-beda dari VC ke VC. Ada VC yang isinya ribuan orang, in which case, having everyone shoot portrait makes sense, so they can automate it.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Myth or ?

Now that my daughter hits 10 month mark, she starts to move more actively around. She doesn't quite walk yet, but she tries. Her feet don't move one in front of the other, but her whole body make a "jump" to compensate. As such, she fell and hit her head. A part of her forehead was swollen. And when we called our family, the single advice that everyone gave us was: Rub oil on it, and then rub a knife on it. This was totally the way we were brought up. I remember seeing an adult rubbing the swollen part of a child's head with knife. It works too! But it makes me wonder... Why does it work? Do we still have to do that nowadays?

Living with Strata...

In North America, the only type of housing where you have complete control over is single family home. SFH means that all your outside walls are not attached to other houses. If you have SFH, chances are you have a front/back yard, and there is grass surrounding your whole house. Sadly, SFH is becoming more and more unaffordable. You can probably still have one, but you will be in debt for all your life. The second best thing for a small family is townhouse, which is what I live in right now. Unlike SFH, townhouses are strata-ed. What is strata? Strata is a group of volunteer owners, selected by all owners in the complex, who deals with administration of the whole complex. It's snowing hard and we need snow plow? Strata will call them in. Somebody's guests are making lots of noises at night time? Strata will warn (and fine) them. Somebody's car knock your garage door? Strata will deal with insurance. The complex needs more visitor parking space reserved? Strata will ensure

Amigurumi: Single Pea and Deadly Cute Ninja

I think I was bitten by the craft bugs. Here's my next creation: the single pea (because making 3 of them in solid green is just too much for my eyes) and the deadly but cute ninja. Chris called them Peany and Ninji. Peany, Dora, Ninji, and Mushy posing together It's hard to see from this photo, but Ninji actually has a sling (in a slightly different color) around his body, and a mini ninja star. And talk about proportion... the vegetables are larger than the cat and the person. Makes you wonder, isn't it?
