Cell phones- Still sub-par

Sometimes photos can't capture it all. Especially in a live concert experience- often video is a better way to go back and show your friends exactly what you experienced at a show. And I guess depending your phone, your proximity to the musicians/stage, your experience with video editing and miscellaneous other variables, some videos just come out leaps and bounds ahead of others. 


For example- same artist but two different songs and two very different videos. 


Poor quality:



Videos at live shows get on my nerves most times because the audio picked up the loudest is whatever is closest to your microphone, and unless you are in the front row or very close you usually just end up shaky images to teenage girls singing at the top of their lungs and screaming at the band. So... I try to stick to pictures personally, unless something really special is going on.


High quality: 



Final Thought: 
Using new social media (in this case, YouTube) is a really easy, convenient and effective way for a musician to broadcast their message to a WORLDWIDE audience and receive an enormous amount of creative, instantaneous, and easily organizable responses.
