I think you should reunite Dorje and play a green screen multi-camera live set and turn it into the biggest epic online live album/documentary ever and release it on KZread. Call it Finale or Coda and give the original band a proper send-off for all of us who came up with you all on KZread.

Well I do love this idea, but it would definitely take way more time than they have allowed me, also if you love Dorje I think you will be happy with the live album. I am releasing this year… it features many of the tracks I wrote for the Dorje album, that was never released.

@@RobChappers I trust whatever ends up being the thing will be a must watch. And I’m looking forward to that album.

You could assemble your dream band from anywhere in the world, green screen sync a performance. Place everyone together on a mountain top performing during an epic time lapse where the band goes through the 4 seasons.

Definitely a Dorje reunion with as many members as you can get to Malta. Talk about the old times, about forming a band, what everyone is up to?

A mega jam sesh with all the Chapman guitar artist, old and new (so Rabea is included😉). Kind of like the shred collab, but live in some kind of crazy video world. Give an opportunity to get everyone together to thank them for their time with Chapman guitars and give us entertainment of watching our fav guitar players jamming out.

It may be too complicated to film a band video in one day, but, maybe a solo section of a longer piece, with Rob shredding on an alien world.

how about a high-end promo video for your product range, Rob? It's a no-brainer innit?

Do a history of Chapman guitars till now video!! That feels like a great piece of content that would feel for you like a deserving project for the added production

If they can come to a venue. You could simply host a festival. Let them film the festival and broadcast it on YT. That would attract new bands for the next year and both their company and you can make a buck. Let's say you sell the live recordings as albums for the bands. And they (the filming company) get the revenue from the video's on yt. And above a certain return of investment (pay out YT) you get a cut to manage the future festivals and invest in them. That way you have a starting point for a music label. Developing artists was and is never cheap.

By the YT video's the film company can make a serious buck.

That’s fantastic Rob, what an opportunity. The film industry being big there is understandable, I’ve often thought,whilst wandering around Malta and Gozo that it would be so fantastic as a setting for a Walking Dead spin-off type thing. Especially with the architecture and natural topography. But I think you should definitely record a performance video there, like Tiny Desk, but with a big studio. You could also edit in various Chapman guitars and gear throughout the songs to showcase what they can do

I follow you daily, like your presentation and expertise as a musician. I know you will find that opportunity to make something out of it worth it. It's impossible for me to give an opinion about what would be better for you but I would say that all your work and efforts are being observed and greatly appreciated worldwide. I believe it will be a memorable and fun time no matter how you use that time. Enjoy that moment cause it is yours!!!!!!

Your music videos are pretty good but your music is phenomenal. What about using the film studio to do a music video worth your music?

Love your guitars !!!

Crazy excited about this one

You and Lee in costumes doing a silly story like the old days. Lee as Grogu and you as a Din Djarin. This is the way.

Film a very creative music video (could just be about instrumental), but also record all the behinds the scene footage using the same technology. Include why you choose your rig and what it does for you, how you are setting things up, the motivation for the song, etc. Then splice it into one KZread video like 48 hours or 60 minutes does for us to consume kind of like a report. After that you also release separate videos for the song, the B roll and the gear. Take a look at what CBS morning did for U2’s debut at the sphere. Could be cool.

Filming a regular Rob Chapman video with this crazy setup feels a bit overkill to me. You got to take this really cool opportunity to do something (relatively) big like a big music video. Having Lee, Bea and the Dorje gang would make it even more awesome.

My thoughts exactly.

An awesome music video.

Great opportunity Rob! I like your idea on having this system used for a KZread educational content. Maybe have the topic be something large where you can fully utilise the cameras - something about body positioning on different stages - Be a better performer / Stage awareness. You could change the screen to different venues and play with different lighting. Just throwing out an idea here haha - Looking forward to seeing the video you’re about to make!

Great news Rob I would love to see a history of your career. Lots of shots from the past up to present day.

I definitely think you and the boys, should definitely do a live music video and a small documentary

Thankyou for the videos, and your honesty, and for saying smash my bell at the end 😂😂😂

congrats rob! such a dream to record in a movie studio.

How about a Devin Townsend-esque music Video? Get some cameo appearances in there!!

I'd love to see you make music vids for Monkey Lord as a music video re-release of the album. It's such a soundtrack sounding album.

Shane at intheblues made mini guitar-centered horror movies the past two Halloweens. How about something like that? A holiday special. A story recreation of the day Rob met with his first Yamaha guitar?

What about a video about ‘ How to set up a band for a live gig ‘, aimed at teenagers who haven’t got a clue…..front of house, basic miking up, line outs , mixing desk etc. When I was a teenager this stuff was daunting and we didn’t have a clue…do a video covering a small basic set up for a little teen band doing there first gig……😉

The making of a music video and the modern cutting edge music video - soup to nuts

I reckon do an intimate acoustic set of some original material and a few covers that you like, and go for a sort of U2 in the Las Vegas Sphere type deal with mega backing images / video!

This is exciting Remember when I mentioned that your music could be used in movies? Also, with your love of the arts I believe this is an opportunity to demonstrate these gifts. In addition to promoting the Chapman product line. So, whatever you decide I would be sure craft in such away the people want to see it again :)

Obviously it should be a Live In Your Eyes music video. How about an official video for "Launching Manropes"?

Would you consider asking for applications from bands to film a music video for them? What an experience it would be for them and the exposure they would get would be career launching. You can be the sole judge. Based purely on your personal taste. You could art direct the video with them.

Where can I smash your bell... 😂 This sounds like a very cool experience for you Rob, I'd be happy just to see you walking around the studio etc!

Hi Rob. I dunno if you remember, but there was a TV series about 1998 called "A Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star". In it Fish from Marillion played a fading rock star who had an "Ego Room". In there he had enormous cheering crowds back-projected behind him while he noodled away, giving the impression that he was performing at a huge outdoor rock festival. That screen would allow you to demo gear to hundreds of thousands of screaming fans.😁

Love the hat! Maybe a video for one of the newer Clockwork songs on the upcoming album... :D

There are loads of really great suggestions in here. I think the smartest use of the studio would be a film which is entertaining to the Chapman Guitars faithful WHILE promoting the company. I'm envisioning interviews of artists who gig and record with your guitars and while they're telling stories and playing their favorite models you could cut in close up, high definition footage of the guitar and ever the artists entire rig. They could even bring tbeir whole band if available and shoot a music vid. That would be GREAT exposure for the artist, great promotion of Chapman guitars, and wonderfully entertaining to all of us music fans/guitar nerds worldwide.

you can film your upcoming new product photos/video content there with backgrounds changing and sick angles, etc

Get your best people to play with and the most fun song to play and rock out! 🎼🎸

How to build a guitar brand 101. There are a lot of junior luthiers trying to understand how to grow and this is knowledge that was never found online. Using that quality can add that masterclass-like atmosphere

You should ask them to see a selection of the environments they have available, and let those environments inspire you

I think you should shoot a promo video with your signature artists featuring their band, music and some of your guitars being shredded in amazing cinematic format. Helps small artists and promotes your awesome guitars!

Brilliant Rob! As a commercial photographer I would say make an epic looking short piece that mixes product hero video into live epic players - with awesome back screen , say desserts , into flames - see what ‘stock’ they have there they can re-use. Picture this - 3 or 5 guitars on stands , camera , moves in and around , above then tracks down a neck . Backing intro music starts .Then a hand grabs neck, camera pulls out and round to reveal you playing . With epic backdrop footage. Next cuts to another guitar , panning up it , showing the reflections on guitar of the epic background footage . Another hand grabs it (Rabbea?) and they proceed to shred . You can cut in close ups of the camera tracking around guitars along with some product info headlines or voiceover . Message me if you want any ideas , happy to help :)

Hi Rob really excited for you cool stuff. How about from night before a gig with the band do a documentary chat, invite a super mystery guest to turn up on stage and gig with you and the band not only all that film all the stage setup from bringing in the gear onto the stage and setting it all up in detail explaining as much of the setup so we can see the whole process from start to finish, what a challenge to make that hard work exciting and then throughly enjoy the gig. I think already more than myself is asking you might do this. Create suspense about mystery guest you know what to do.

The vibe of your fav movie/video backrounds, vid a mash up song to tribute them :)

Epic music video

Sounds like a great opportunity to shoot a music video for some of your solo material that you have been releasing.

This is an extraordinary opportunity so make it an extraordinary video. Forget guitar reviews, forget advice, this is an opportunity for your creative self to shine. You hint at something big coming up, this is an opportunity to film a video about it! THINK BIG! There is something in the back of your mind, whispering, “what about me?” THAT is the subject of your video opportunity. Only you know what it is. Don’t waste it on gear reviews. This is a launching pad moment-a leap of faith! JUMP! And don’t forget to have fun. Break a leg!

My vote is for the Dorje Forever feature film! You could probably record some epic guitar playing with some fun backgrounds. Outside of your video quality test idea you could probably capture 10+ epic recorded Dorje tracks. I'll be curious if you treat it like a day at a music studio with epic cameras or if you end up bringing the music to the epic video studio.

Needs to be something you couldn’t possibly do without the studio

A guitar off, like crossroads 👌

i loved the video with your wife trying to change the guitar strings, she is very funny .... make a second episode with her.

Not sure how it would work from a licensing standpoint, but with a live wall, it would be fun to have you 'sit in' with some of your favorite bands. Make it look like you're onstage jamming with them. I guess if you did short enough clips of songs, you could make it work.

Great stuff Rob. An idea..You and a guitar in multiple environments 'Less is more' approach and giving 'Rupture' free reign. A formal YT video wouldn't deliver IMO. Play your favourite licks with your favourite guitars walking, sitting, hanging whatever. Those cameras and your talent are a recipe for gold mate. Think of it as something that could culmanate all of your dreams into a timelessness for you.

Yes, this is smart. Rob should get out of the way of the technicians and do what he does, moving like they want him to but provide as much music as possible. I don't know if he needs to be alone ... he could be playing with someone but the idea should be to do as much one take as possible. Maybe do retakes as the technicians want to try out different approaches. That way the studio gets maximum value out of having him there and he gets the longest "showreel" out of the studio time. The more he prepares a particular subject or "dream shot" the more time gets eaten up in the chores of realising that dream; you have to trust the studio to know what works, what's fun and what will show off the tech to best advantage. Also, treat it as day one of an ongoing collab; this isn't about the end product, it's about getting everyone committed to working together.

@@sordel5866 Thanks man..I wasn't too sure on the single/group/band idea either. I feel like I haven't seen Rob just rip it up in a high quality format. Being the product and not so much the producer is a sure way to save time. As much music as possible sounds like a clear winner to me. I guess with so little time one could treat it like packing for an overseas trip, half your luggage then half again and then once again. A man and his guitar and a plethora of environments with the latest tech. What else could an Axetuber ask for. No matter what, I hope Rob has fun reading our crazy ideas.

How about a guitar history one! Hear me out, starting in black and white with a 1930’s jazz background, then moving up to the 50’s, 60’s 70’s etc, all with period correct background and film grain? Just exploring the incredible story of the guitar through past decades in one crazy video? Should be possible with that kind of setup and is guaranteed to be a BANGER 🤌 Cheers Rob🫡

Yes there are hiring a guitarist!

I think it would be cool to get the Captain involved in this video

A full music video for Bleed The Light! I like the top ten affordable idea though :)

Always a pleasure to see and hear about the new... That being said how does this sound you said something big is in the works how about you do something in the studio where you become an actual giant I'm sure they could do this with eas think about it let your creativity run wild you have to admit if nothing else does it not sound intriguing I have ideas flying in my head you could use this in so many ways and you are becoming a giant in your Industry kind of anyway please tell me what you think much love go get em you literally rock

Using the “volume” do a playing in a small venue vs a pub vs a stadium and the different approaches required

Create a clip for your new band. Or make intro's and outtro's for your youtube channels.

Great story. Film a really cool music video (band performance) featuring your instruments. BTW: the display technology is direct-view LED and not LCD.

Promo yourself and your guitars! Some us your process! I live in CANADA and what to try a Chapman guitar. Great to hear you’re branching out.

What an opportunity! I would try to make something that lasts for a long time, like a 'leader' for your youtube video's so you have a standard format for your intro's and endings.

That's quite an opportunity, Rob. You should talk to Lee & Rabea for sure and include them if possible.

Fantastic opportunity and if it turns out to be affordable going forward even better. As part of the day I'd definitely shoot a video for a song. As the time is so short i think it would have to be a performance style of vid. I don't think I've seen a music vid shot in a studio like that so as you say you could literally have anything going on sky's the limit. A behind the scenes is also a no brainer as it would broaden the videos appeal bringing in an audio/visual audience rather than just music or gear audience. Whatever you end up doing good luck with it. Who knows you could end up scoring a movie.

Music Video Rob - with all the herbs and spices. They are creative people and will want it to be epic as a demo and as a project.

Reunion with the captain! A pedal review from top of a mountain or in space!

See what they already have loaded up or can easily load up for the vid wall stuff and plan around that. Might be able to use the set from whoever goes right before you, have them leave it up another day.

I was in Malta last year, when the Jurassic World statues were up, and had to go take pictures of all 3 for my nephew.

An actual guitar battle would be a cool video to do there lol

+1 for Dorje reunion 🤘🏻 maybe for another time though…. Failing that, a full on ott music video for one of your other projects would be cool

If you have the "set" changing option, how about a reimagining of the Monkey Lord ambient ep?

I think a super awesome chapman guitars unveiling video with all the special effects and crazy lighting would be cool! Even if it’s a ‘one off prototype’ someone could win, would be cool to see how OTT you could go with it and include some of your humour? Maybe do a giveaway/competition with the guitar afterwards. I’d love to win a guitar that was the centrepiece of a crazy promo video!

Music video bro, would be awesome. Oh found a place that does your guitars in NZ so im getting one!

Hi Chappers! Congratulations for getting that opportunity. I would definitely do a Chapman Guitars commercial. Perhaps you will never again get the chance to have such an image push for fckn free. What ever you should decide for, I'm looking forward to seeing your result.

I think you should film your band playing on top of the seattle space needle, and then the space needle sends your music into space and some metal head spacemen show up to rock

The reason your content works is your energy. Merge that I a way that highlights the technology available to you. Make sure you highlight that tech!

I think if its possible, you can do multiple videos in one. I would suggest something incorporating the history of guitar and its importance in music history particularly rock and blues. You can transition from the biggest historical venues in background as you change guitars and give brief description about what makes that guitar and its sound unique. You can go from chuck berry, to Beatles, to led zepplin, clapton, hendrix changing the background to venues where they held their biggest concerts. Then you can explain how before it wasn’t really possible to get great affordable guitars like today, and tou can compare gibson to epiphone, fender to squier so on and so forth. Like this you tackle 4-5 different subjects that in one. History, unique guitar tones, affordable guitars etc.

Keep it on brand for them - how about a concept like ways of creating "moods" (in film) with scores/songs/even just passages with guitar. You could focus on one element or breeze over various scales/tunings/guitars/amps/fxs to achieve different feelings . You could evaluate some famous cinematic guitar tracks and maybe show what you would do if asked to create for a film team.

An ml3 is my dream guitar

Considering this unique opportunity, whatever you film must include a live performance... a band performance of some sort with at least 10+ minutes of a couple of songs or a greatest-hits medley thing, all enhanced with the studio's lighting and visuals high tech they have in there. Cheers!

Use it for chapman! With the new US dist, it would be dope to have an killer demo of all the chapman guitars

You and Lee and the gang should do a video along the line of "spinal tap" 80s thing

I have a very simple answer/question Rob, what would "give you the most joy", when watching the shoot back? Rather than connecting it with anything else at all, although your joy can of course include anything else you wish! Best of luck with it and look forward to seeing what you finally choose!

Dorje live set. Proper send off for the band. Full pro shot live set

" The Time Traveler " by Rob Chapman with the push of this button going thru time with your music overlayed ... from The Dusk ... until The Dawn ... 👍

hi! I would like to see you making some dialogs with animals by making guitar phrases like imitations of their voices. Your ability to make funny noises on guitar is amazing!

Just do a stunning music video, maybe new song with a concept taht can make use of the studio effects!

How about making the video about the design process of Chapman guitars. Id love to see how you went about giving people the options for the models.

A heaven and hell set up would be cool, the darkness and fire of hell accompanied with some gnarly metal riffs then flip back to heaven with some really clean ethereal tones, just flipping back and forth. So you get some sick visuals and the huge contrast between tones would be cool too.

If it were me I'd utilize the incredible studio and its screen tech for a full Monkey Lord ambient album video shoot. Granted, I'm in love with that music, but using such tech to film videos of some or all those great songs seems like a no-brainer. Whatever you decide, though, I'm certain it's going to be excellent.

A journey through all the "modes". Lydian, dorian etc. Costume change, diffrrent background on rhe 3d screen, different mood lighting according to the feel of the mode.

Dorje :) acoustic tripped down

Congratulations on such a cool opportunity, if nothing else it should be really cool to be there and experience it. If you just want to have fun, go big and make a lifetime memory. If you want this as a realistic tester... keep it simple. I have no clue what the topic should be though. If you ever wanted to go for a crazier style of channel that appeals to a wider audience, maybe this is the chance?

Hi Rob! I may suggest you to use new opportunities the studio has to make what you can't produce by your own. For instance, some advanture into a guitar - you may film macro traveling into different guitars - how they made inside (holobody, electronics, strings, etc.), like if you are 1mm tall and have a tourist trip into a guitar like in a cave.

Related to a lot of the other comments, how about a tutorial for preparing and doing a live gig, with dos and don'ts, and so on. How much to prepare the performance and how to secure easy solutions to most common failures. Maybe with some cool footage from your own live gigs. I think this could made to take good advantage of this awesome technology. BTW - thank you for years of superb KZread entertainment.

Definitely a full demo session of all the Chapman Guitars range (different colours etc) with a few different guitarists

Arr man you've got to do a Dorje performance - opportunities like this don't come about often, whatever it takes to get the guys back together for one more recording. All new song, old song, live performance of one of your EP's, a Game of Thrones medley like you used to slay with live... whatever it would be would be epic with the old band back together.
