New Song and Video: Social Digital Global Shift

YouTube version | MP3

I recorded a new song and video for y’all! This song is all about social networking and how people are using the emerging social web to connect with each other, to communicate… and in my case, to sing songs to my blog readers.

When writing the song, I was thinking about facebook, twitter, MySpace, and all the social connections that are happening 24/7 - I find it extremely fascinating.

Social Digital Global Shift
by David Lee King

I haven’t seen her since high school
never thought I’d see her again
but yesterday I got a facebook request
she asked to be my friend

so I took a little time to catch up
browsed through her photobucket and blog
I watched some funny videos of her kids
and then I wrote this song

’cause it’s a social digital revolution
social digital relationship
social digital communication
it’s a social digital global shift

I have friends around the world
they’re growing globally
some of them live in Saskatchewan
while others live in D.C.

Enjoy!

Birds on the Beach

Me, chasing seagulls, in Florida. It’s also me starting to use Final Cut Express. Wow, is FCE different from iMovie! Many more steps to edit video… but also lots more fine-tuning allowed, too.

So this video is me testing out two different types of dissolves (cross dissolve and fade in/out dissolve), adding some titling within the movie and at the end, and fading the audio out at the end, too. And adding fade ins and outs at the beginning and ending of the movie.

Enjoy!
