Music video medley cover help!

[ChrisHutchy]

Hi,

I've never done any covers before on my channel and I would like to do a Beatles acoustic cover medley (just guitar and bass - no vocals). But I want it to be more than just sitting down in front of a camera and playing. I have a vague idea of me sitting in front of a green screen and lots of Beatles related animations and visuals (created by me) relating to the songs I'm playing, appear behind me. But this will require quite a lot of work to create all the animations and visuals.

I just want something else other than me sitting down and playing. Just wondering if you've got any ideas?

Thanks

Chris

I actually do have a Beatles wig and a black suit. But I was kind of thinking of a bit more of a series video. But thanks for the suggestion!

But isn't the whole point of your channel that the videos are very lighthearted/ comedies?

No I don't think so. I have a mix of serious stuff and light hearted stuff.

Maybe think about getting a vocalist in as a collab partner, will help with exposure etc. Then you can have your video switch between two people with some transitions etc, rather than just 5 mins of you sitting there playing (you could get a bassist in too, hint hint )

I'm just worried if I get a vocalist that the songs may become more recognisable to copyright infringement. If its just guitars then its less recognisable. Not sure about have multiple people in the video but I could maybe use a bassist to record the bass track and I could just pretend to play bass in the video. Thanks for your thoughts though!
