🎵 Rare new CAB CALLOWAY 🎶 5 live songs 🎶

This video was shot on a DXC 3000 camera by Richard Arsenault and produced and edited by Richard on 3/4" video to D2. Shot on 3 separate nights, Richard carefully synced together the angles to create a single multi-camera performance. Includes licensed media from storyblocks.com. The legendary Cab Calloway performs 🎶 Stormy Weather 🎶 You’re Nobody ‘Till Somebody Loves You 🎶 Learnin’ the Blues 🎶 It Ain’t Necessarily So 🎶 Saint James Infirmary Filmed, produced, and edited by Richard Arsenault Copyright © 2020 True-Film SUBSCRIBE to this channel: https://goo.gl/1k1asG http://www.richardarsenault.com http://www.true-film.com I filmed this back in 1990, and the technology at hand was a Sony DXC3000A camera recorded to a massive 9850 video deck on 3/4" video. Because it was shot on three separate nights, splicing the performances together was a real challenge (not to mention the subtle wardrobe changes on Mr. Calloway). Obviously the audio was precedent and couldn't be edited -- so the video needed to remain in sync when cutting between the different performances shot from different angles. That's basically impossible with 1990's editing power when cutting between performances but I did the best I could on D2 -- the 2nd DIGITAL video format ever. I went back and did some modern non-linear ramping on 3 cut-ways to angle 1 and added a couple of blur-out/dissolves to cover the sync issues and missing footage lost in the out of sync dissolves of the original. Heck, just have some whiskey and you'll forget I mentioned it. 🍹 You'll see a shift as I come in and out of dissolves because of some setting mis-adjustment at the editing suite in Hollywood I rented -- or perhaps it was my learning curve as this was the only D2 editing job I ever did for myself as producer/editor/everything. The audio quality is superb because it was digital and Dan at Hollywood AV Transfer house did such a great job preserving the video after thirty years in storage. I did a bit of stereo expansion and compression as this was shot mono with an intermittent audience track mixed in. But by the 5th song, hopefully you'll be feelin' fine. Join in celebration of the great Maestro CAB CALLOWAY in one of his last performances. The date is San Diego, 1990.
