This is a concept, an aid to my usual written reviews of albums. For the longest time I have noticed that games and movies often get reviews that aren't written, but reviews for albums tend to not have much in the way of a multimedia standard. With this video, I wished to introduce the idea that small clips from the album can be provided with small segments of the written review on the video to allow the user a glimpse of the album as well as being able to follow the review better.
This video is just a demonstration of the idea, so it is a little crude (and horribly Windows Movie Maker'd) and isn't a full realization. I hope that with a little polish it will become an asset to my reviews, while attempting to stay within fair use range. This way I can compromise with labels who issue DMCA takedown notices for those people with full songs uploaded, but also give my readers a taste of the album to help entice them a little further.
The full review can be read here (http://cheesecakerecipe.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/200-million-thousand-by-the-black-lips/) for an idea of how it would tie into my format as a whole. What do you guys think? Too much work? Too Corny? Not required?
