So for a long time know I've been thinking that it'd be fun to do some short clips of some pedals I own. Mainly cause it's fun to somehow save/remember combos and sounds I like, without having to turn them into a full song (and because everyone wants more clips and demos of gear, right?)
I'm not looking into doing anything extravagant and want to stay away from editing as much as possible. I basically want to be able to film the pedals I'm using, while playing/tweaking and record the audio at the same time. Preferably without having to mic stuff up. The walls a really thin where we live so I always play with headphones on anyways.
Optimal solution would be to just be able to rig my phone as a camera above my table, with an audio cable (from the output of whatever is being used as an amp) connected to it, press record and just go.
Any suggestions for what I'd need? Cables? A good not too pricy and adjustable stand for my phone (or perhaps my gf's camera :P) that I can attach to/remove from the table easily? I'm thinking I'd make use of the basic camera app, but if anyone has suggestions for other stuff, that'd be welcome too.
(Also, on a side note, it'd be cool to be able to do some stop motion eventually, but cheap gear clips is aim number one.)
And besides my questions, in general, what are people using and how do you like it?
