Just before 1:10 he starts doing a section where he’s transforming on a long tone, sometimes giving the record a flick forward to make the “note” of the tone go higher, and sometimes touching the edge of the platter to make it go lower. Unless I missed something that makes you think it’s fake, I think you might just be misinterpreting what he’s actually doing.
As he said, it’s not filmed live. It’s more an error in video production than anything. I wouldn’t doubt his skills. I’m sure he could rip that routine out live.
It’s all bs when it comes to video editing… as someone already said it’s made to look good. If it was all live, you’d see cameras in loads of shots as they switch from one camera to the next. Just look at the Switch & JFB ‘Fatboy Slim’ routine.
(go on, watch it, it’s a good one!)
The Ortofon on Switch’s right deck turns into a.. um.. Shure? (not sure tho!) which JFB lent him after his fkd up half way through filming. It was confirmed to me though that the audio was done in one take which is the important bit after all! Now I remember why I got into Music and not TV!!
Remember kids, the camera never lies… except for when it would look bad if it didn’t!
it will be editing mistakes…the thing with semi pro and prosumer equipments and DSLRs is that they cant be genlocked to each other, so on a multi camera shoot, the cameras have to be sync’d manually in post…so errors in the actual edit can happen although the audio will be uneffected
both were great videos, i think you guys are just over looking the gist of the routines. Practice over and over and those routines, become just that, a routine.
