Story Treatment - Jerry

This simple movie will document the process of how to record an electric guitar in Stereo with a computer. This will be an informational video that shows the user how to connect two microphones to a computer, position the microphones in relation to the amplifier (and each other), and record to hard disc using Apple’s Garageband application. I will look at the three main components necessary to record to a computer: Microphones, Audio Interface, and a Recording Application (in this case Garageband).

I will speak briefly about recording using multiple tracks and using the stereo space to ‘place’ your instrument using these multiple tracks. I will also speak briefly about how best to get a clean, loud, and noise-free recording using the audio interface and careful microphone placement.

Most of this video will be shot ‘talking-head’ style with several cut-aways to show details of the individual components. In addition there will be some voice-over audio for the cut-away images and there will be intro and exit music overdubs from the recorded guitar. This video will be shot in one interior location.

  1. I think this can work fine. You might not have enough time to do a true "How To" video (since there are many steps with technical demos), so consider reducing the scope if necessary.
