LovEvolution Video

 This video you just seen was my documentation of LovEvolution 2009, San Francisco most anticipated parade in the fall. Most of the photos and videos were taken by my Canon digital camera. The crowd view was breathtaking, I was amazed to see how many people came to show their support. By lucky chance, I had the opportunity to dance on the Spundae & Skillz and Ruby Skye float, where some of the top Djs performed. Deadmau5 was one of them, I had the opportunity to see him as he entered the float. I used two of his top tracks “I remember” and “Ghost’n’Stuff ” remix featuring Rob Swire for this video.

The programs I used to make this video was iMovie and Audacity. When I was given this project to make a movie on house, I originally wanted to interview a Dj, but I wanted to contribute this month in the memory of LovEvolutions 2009 and how the cancelation this years event disappointed the millions of fans who attened last years event. This video is proof of how many people support parade and House Music.
