Eye of the Tiger: The iPad Cover [Ipad]

Just what I wanted to wake up today: Some Survivor on my cereal. Photographer and Gizmodo reader Jordan Hollender sent us this great video of Eye of the Tiger entirely played with iPads. He told us how they made it:

Jordan told us that there were no tricks involved. All you are able to hear on their version of the classic Rocky III song are these iPad instrument apps: Real Drums, Pro Keys, Baby Scratch and Guitar Mania.

We used real musicians and the parts were recorded in Garage Band. The iPad piano, drums and guitar and scratch apps were played straight during the song without edits, mainly creating an exact iPad band. There was a click track but we didn’t copy and paste notes.

According to Jordan, the recording took several days with a number of different sessions: ” Checking out the apps took the longest as we tried to seek out the proper sounding apps but in addition had to be the best visually. The apps that were closest to how the genuine instrument plays were tricky in finding because there were a ton of options.”

For the video itself, they did it in in the future, like all other music video: ” We had a basic idea of what we needed to portray, and went from there.
