Bottled In Bond

Here is my second video made with Shotcut. I did experience some small problems (like one text: rich panel that simply refused to stop showing a black shadow and for some reason also produced a black area where the text outline was, but I got rid of it by making the box smaller. Weird!

Anyway, for those who don’t know, “Bottled In Bond” is a legal designation for some Kentucky bourbons, kind of like the French Appellation Controlée. So it’s a bit of an in-joke by the time you finish the video. There’s more on the song in the YouTube description.

This music is a bit more in line with what I normally do than my first video, but honestly, my stuff is all over the map; it does make for interesting opportunities for video, though!

And last but hardly least, thanks to everybody who has kindly helped with answers to my beginner questions about Shotcut, which I mentioned in the YT video description.

Cheers

Great work, @Tyrannocaster - lovely gut playing and audio mix. Nice Warmoth Stratocaster! You made it?? (There you go, I watched until the end… !) :+1:

Well, to the extent that you can say one “makes” a guitar when he uses Warmoth parts, I did. The body and neck were unfinished and I used good ol’ nasty nitrocellulose lacquer on both of them, plus I used an oak dye on the neck which really replicated an aged neck color well. I didn’t use spray for the body except for the clear nitro; I actually used oil paint (applied by rag) for the sunburst because I didn’t think I could blend a burst with spray, having no experience doing that. I also did a Tele at the same time and those are still my favorite guitars; both have MONSTER necks and the biggest frets I could get - which make timid guitarists quake, lol. Warmoth makes great stuff.

Thanks for watching!
