This project was the idea of Steven Paterson and Steven enlisted 9 of his YouTube friends to help out. Steven is a Scottish singer/songwriter now living in England. He sent us all his backing track video and we each mad a video clip of our assigned parts. Then everyone turned their videos in to "MonkeylessJohn" in Canada and he put the basic screen in screen video together synchronizing the videos with the music.

After that John turned everything over to me. I then took everyone's video and extracted the audio from each. I then worked hard to get each individual's audio level equalized to the others and used noise reduction very carefully because there was some very noisy recordings. Once I had the levels sorted then came the task of mixing it all together with the music and also mixing all the vocals at the choruses. It was an incredible amount of work and my biggest challenge in audio production yet but I feel the results were worth it. I created the video intro and thee slide show and ending credits.

To make this video mean something real I spoke with Steven about making it a fundraiser for a good charity and he agreed.

In the spirit of "Feed The World" we would ask that you give the following serious consideration: Each hour up to 250 children die from lack of clean drinking water according to the World Health Organization. The charity we have selected this year is Lifewater International. Lifewater partners with organizations in 9 countries around the world to bring safe drinking water to communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Only 7% of the annual donations go to overhead; almost all of the money given goes directly to helping deliver safe water systems to the most needy people in the world. To find out more about Lifewater International please visit their website here and if you like what they are doing for people in need then we ask that you consider making a one time donation. They have made it very easy to donate online:
