$99 Music Videos

$99 Music Videos is a website dedicated to showcasing Music Videos created under a $99 budget. The Music Video that got my attention was Mixel Pixel's "Monster Manual."

The video was created by Dan Meth. All his work is real simple and straight forward. Here's a peek into the process of how the video was made...

Coraline

Though I'm a fan of where 3D animation is headed, there's just something fascinating about puppets and stop-motion animation. It's the authenticity of live objects, the look and feel that just can't be captured any other way. The subtle imperfections truly gives it character and soul.

God made me groove

I bought this mixer stand the other day and set up my MPC right next to my bed. I literally roll out of bed and start making beats. I made this today. Here's what I used...

Roy Ayers - "Move to Groove"(live)




Here's my version...

Nelson - "God made me groove"

"International Boulevard"

Sometimes I hear a song and just have to sample it. I used a song from International Karate on the Commodore 64.



Here's my version...

"International Boulevard" - Nelson

Jel Anticon

I used to have the same set-up.

Wild is the wind

In an effort to seek feedback from people I don't know, I decided to join a Producers Challenge on a forum. We all had to sample Nina Simone's "Wild is the Wind" and forum members would vote to see who did the best job. Long story short, I won. The funny thing is that I probably spent an hour working on the song. I want to show you guys a quick break down of how I made the song...

Here's the original...

Wild Is The Wind - Nina Simone

Here is my version...
"Gifted" - Nelsonious

All I did was sample the piano in the beginning, her vocal at 46 secs into the song and, the guitar at 3:33 into the song. I then layered it on top of drums I had sequenced out. Simple right?

To seperate myself from the other contestants I decided to add an intro. I looked up Nina Simone interview on Youtube and chose the one I thought fit perfectly.

It's supposed to be a weekly thing. I'll keep you guys posted on the next one.
