BTS - Dynamite Cover

No, I do not have a twin. This was one of the first videos I ever made and one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar. Being one of the first songs I learned, I was unable to sing and play at the same time. The dilemma I faced with this video was trying to figure out a creative way to cover this song with the guitar and vocal accompaniment being showcased together but not recorded together. I could have simply recorded the guitar then my voice and layered them and lip-synced in the video but that felt dishonest, and while the audio is enhanced I wanted it to still be live. Up against a few challenges I decided to try and learn how to create a duplicate of myself. I ended up doing a split screen and did my best to line up the screens, backgrounds, and colors from both sides of the video, however, one thing I didn’t take into account was the number of takes I would end up doing on the vocal part and the fact that the sun sets. If you look closely you can see the difference in day and shadow upon my face. That being said, I did my best during editing to match the colors.
