Tool - 2019-2020 Fear Inoculum Tour - Multi-Cam Maxi-Cut (1080p)

Thanks to Brian for sending me his work to share here.


Brian's Info File:

I pilfered all the quality videos that I could find from Tool's Fear Inoculum shows in 2019 and early 2020 (before the coronavirus pandemic brought everything to a screeching halt) and made a giant multi-cam composite of the full show.

The foundation of my video is a full-length video of the show from 16 October 2019 in Denver. It's a decent recording, both audio and video, but in viewing/listening to it, I knew I could improve on it with some remastering work on both fronts.

So I fired up the studio and got busy- first thing I did was clean up the audio. The original has too much low end and needed some midrange muscle. That was an easy fix, especially as the original is free of distortion. Now the kick drum isn't so overpowering, you can hear more of Adam's guitar, and most importantly, much more of Maynard's vocals.

The picture needed a little bit of work as well. I brightened it up a bit but kept the blacks black, sharpened it up a tad, and tweaked the colors a tad, which was purely an aesthetic choice.

I also re-synced the audio, which was off by a tenth of a second or so (speed of light vs speed of sound). Much better now. And I dumped that 60 seconds or so of dead air before the encores. And put in a fancy intro title.

That Denver video is probably 99% from a single camera, at stage right, a little bit up in the rafters, which is actually a really nice shot as it captures the gigantic video wall behind the band and most of if not all of the stage and band members at all times.

So using that as my base, I started dumping in other people's videos and syncing them up, just to get some different camera angles, mix it up a bit. Makes for a nicer viewing experience I think. Videos from all over the world, not just that Denver show. Unsurprisingly, I was able to find multiple videos for all the songs they performed, and actually spliced in a couple songs they didn't perform in Denver
- Descending and 7empest. Although I could find only a single halfway decent video of 7empest, so that song is just a single camera shot.

The video is a little bit rough at first, but after a few minutes (aka after the cell phone video police vacate the area), it finds a good spot and holds steady.

In scouring YT for b-roll videos, I saw that they had performed The Patient and Swamp Song only a couple of times on this tour. I thought for a half a second to include those in this video, but there weren't enough high quality videos of those songs, so I ditched that idea. Besides, I had to draw the line somewhere, right? If I didn't, I'd still be adding in more songs and more songs and I would have never finished this thing.

I tried posting this to YT, but they quickly pulled it down, citing the usual copyright infringement rules.

All audio work done in PreSonus Studio One. All video work done in FCPX.

It was a hell of a lot of work to put it all together, but it's the stuff I love doing. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks. Brian, Humorless Productions.
