Ever since stumbling across videos from Bushman’s ukulele video contest on Youtube (Like this one, this one and this one), I have eagerly desired to enter the contest myself.
In preparation, my sister and I purchased a ukulele earlier this year with the intention of putting together a few songs for entry.
Well, the 2009 contest has finally opened up for submissions but we haven’t gotten started. Unfortunately, since buying the uke this summer, we’ve gotten busy and haven’t made much progress leaving us with serious problems.
I’ve identified several obstacles to our participation:
- Problem 1: I would probably need better equipment to get the effect I want
- Problem 2: I am really busy and my schedule won’t likely clear up before the contest submission due date
- Problem 3: I don’t have a video camera, editing software
- Problem 4: Even if I had a camera and software I don’t know how to use them
And most seriously:
- Problem 5: I can’t play any instruments at all, most notably ukulele
- Problem 6: I have a singing voice like someone driving a nail truck through a chalkboard factory.
