*TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS*

I've wanted to make a video with Reggie for about six months; we finally made it happen last night. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience -- I couldn't be happier with the end result.

Please do not upload this to any other video sharing sites.

    Jakob, you should state that none of this was manipulated by editing. It's incredible!

    The slow motion part is so good!!
  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    Yeah, really.

    You can tell it's real because the camera zoom remains constant even when he goes back to normal speed.
  • charliesteadman plus 2 years ago
    Can you say...record deal? Push this out there and someone will sign him.
    Duh, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Watts

    The image quality is so good!
  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    yeah, and just under 20 megs for a 5.5 minute video. wow.
  • eat a bug 2 years ago
    How did you export it?
  • MARCELLE 2 years ago
    the image quality is almos freakishly good.. like its almost too much.. woah.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    looks like it's:
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
    H.264 Decoder, 400 x 300, Millions
    29.97fps

    These are pretty much the settings I recommend in my tutorial video, except he has changed the dimensions to 400 x 300, which are the native dimensions for the flash conversion.

    I think I like this clip the most. More than other people. Is there a way I can connote that? Because as of now I just have the same "like it" button as everybody else, but I think I like it more than other people.
  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    That would be cool. Digg has something like that... I think it's called "My #1"
  • Amir plus 2 years ago
    I was just joking, but we're really onto something here! I just wanted a button that stated I was the biggest fan of this clip.
  • Thommy Browne plus 2 years ago
    ^ Yep, it's called My #1. Once you click the my #1 it appears on your profile page before your digging history. I find this feature very useful.
  • diversity 2 years ago
    no, no, no ! it's me I AM the biggest fan of this clip !! just A-MA-ZING !
  • soma 2 years ago
    Nope sorry, I AM the biggest fan of this clip. I don't think that you other peeps get the pure unadulterated awsomeness of this video.
  • Paul McClintock 2 years ago
    You obviously don't realize that this clip made me pregnant. I think I am the biggest fan.
  •  
  • Thommy Browne plus 2 years ago
    The ending is very clever. How many takes did you make?
  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    We recorded 3 different songs, this was the last one. But it's completely improvised so the idea of takes doesn't really apple.
  • Thommy Browne plus 2 years ago
    I'm impressed that he did not slip up. Go Reggie!
  • Reggie Watts 2 years ago
    Its not perfect but its a strong start! More soon me thinks!

    Incroyable ! You too managed that as masters ! (the sound is a bit low, maybe only for me)

  • Andrea Allen staff 2 years ago
    He's so talented!

    I really liked the zooming at the beginning. It was so slight, that I didn't realize we were zooming until you had us right up in his face. A very impressive clip!
  • Reggie Watts 2 years ago
    So much fun to do to too!

  •  
  • andrea 2 years ago
    wait, so he slowed himself down? Because I was going to ask how you got slow motion that didn't have degraded picture quality...so he did that himself?? If so, I say YIKES that's unbelievable! And apropos nothing, he has beautiful hands.

    Reminds me of bobby mcferrin, but with a funk and street spin on it. Bobby's style is more slow/relaxed jamming, where Reggie seems to be sending a strong energetic pulse through his beats.

    It's like sunbathing on a beach vs. dune buggying through a desert

    O-o-Oh my gawwwwd, this was dope!! totally amazing song, collaboration, whatever you wanna call it, and great filming too Jake. Nice lighting and sound...was it just the on-camera mic?

    THIS IS WHY I NEED TO LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE NEW YORK!!!

    *bangs head against table repeatedly
  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    We used two audio inputs: the on-camera mic, and a direct-to-camera XLR cable straight from the loop machine.

    The sound quality will, I think, be higher in our next video.
  • eat a bug 2 years ago

  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    Panasonic DVX100a

    the lighting in this movie is so beautiful! i really like this clip! can i have permission to air it on URTV if we give vimeo and Reggie Watts credit?
  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    Of course! Do you have a show on URTV?
  • Jelen! 2 years ago
    not yet (i dont have the time to commit), but they're always looking for shorts to air in between stuff. URTV is super laid back.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Jake and I used to have a show on the RIT campus TV.
  • Jelen! 2 years ago
    cool! what kind of show? slash did you edit it together and everything, or just starred in it?
