I already had two videos of "Ballin' The Jack" featuring Janet's hot
dancing and the bawdy lyrics Ian learned from some old-time
performers. But each video had a music stand RIGHT IN THE WAY. The
other night I heard some talk in the front row that it might be
performed again, by request... and I tried to catch Ian beforehand,
so any music stand that might appear in the meantime, could be made
to disappear...
I didn't catch him, but when the song came up there were only mic
stands in front, which is good. So I started recording. But Ian
flubbed the "regular" lyrics as soon as he started, so I quit.
But later... Janet moved over to where there was not even a mic stand
in the way, so I started up again, oriented vertically. There oughta
be a place for vertical video-- after all, people tend to be taller
than they are wide, but I guess you'll either have to clear the junk
off your computer and turn the monitor, or turn your head. My first
YouTube video was the same way, and it seemed kinda silly. (After
1000 views or attempted views, I took it down.) So this one is just
here, for now anyway.
All in all, it worked out well-- up that close, shooting
horizontally, I would have had to pan down, up, down, up...
And later, I learned that Janet has been doing yoga since age 9,
which probably has more than a little bit to do with her... ummm...
errr... well... Ian calls it "pulchritude."
