  • You guys have been asking for this one for a long time. I've honestly been intimidated by trying to cover it because it's sooo epic and detailed. After my recent stint in LA with Hans Zimmer, I was inspired to give a try! So here you have it, the most demanding video I've done to date, The Dark Knight! I hope you enjoy it!
    (also includes themes by James Newton Howard).
    Shout out to the amazing Ashton Gleckman once again for his help with this project. If you guys aren't subscribed to his channel you're missing out on GREAT stuff. Links below.

      hmm most the sounds in this cover are just impossible to be reproduced on cello unless it is an electric cello. He's doing a lot of vibrato as shown visually, but it isn't heard at all. Also looking closely into 2:57 there is a clear crescendo in volume but the speed and contact point of the bow is simply not changing at all. Also at exactly 3:00 the audio and video isn't synced. Most times what he's showing visually isn't heard at all also. When there's 6 shots of him playing different parts, only 2-4 of the videos are actually barely heard. Many of his covers are legitimate but this one is very very sketchy. Lots of questionable parts and it honestly seems like he's faking many parts visually and using the real track... Just my take on what I saw from the video from a cellist perspective.

    • @GusWMusic
      @GusWMusic 4 года назад +7

      AndyBear Thanks for your insights! I‘m also a cellist, actually. :) I totally get your point. I think I‘d position my opinion in the middle. As I make covers myself, I know that syncing an already recorded audio with my movements on video is very hard. At least this I can forgive him because I do believe he doesn‘t record audio and video at the same time. What I have to agree on is the sound quality. Hans Zimmer doesn‘t use cheap samples and I guess he’d not just give away the info, too, about what samples exactly he uses. Additionally, I own an electric cello and do very many things with it - I don‘t think these sounds here can be produced on it. It must be VSTi for sure. On the other hand - who says that ThatCelloGuy hasn’t invested in some really expensive orchestra sample libraries? If you have the money, you don’t need Hans Zimmer’s info, you just look up the (expensive!) possibilities that are used by the pros and go for it. And then, although in my case it would be rather unlikely to do so, it is possible to reproduce almost the same sound as in the original. I commented on this video a year ago when I had much less experience in VSTi and music production. Now I see things a little clearlier.

I had tears in my eyes it was so good. Your covers are really good and if I could make a suggestion for future ones. I would love to hear you cover The Last Samurai (A Way of Life, Spectres in the Fog, and Red Warrior definitely). Also if you ever heard of the song Death is the Road to Awe by Clint Marshall, a cover of that be cool too. Can't wait to see more! Now to go listen one more time.
