Yes, but let me explain... I'm not a professional Godley and Creme video maker, although I do have a lot of fun with the process of creating something myself.
Inspiration
Well, a lot of that came from working, experimenting with Instagram. After I made the front cover(s) et all, I used those pictures as a background to put the singing stuff on top of it. I made a lot of short reels, where I tried to playback to the song with different effects on top of them. Almost all of those Joosts have sunglasses, haha. I don't know why..
Then I put all those faces in round frames, moving and shaking to the beat.
Hardware and software do matter!
It's all DIY stuff you know so it has its charms! Sure, the technical side is important of course, to work out precisely the pitching of the singing for example.. it almost drove me crazy. Overall I thinks it floats pretty well.
Hope you tap to the beat with me! So let's find some popcorn...
To wet your appetite further, to get you involved with the new stuff, I want you to....behave. Well sort of. Second promo from the new album of JoosTVD: "The Fly On The Wall Routine", release 30th april 2019.
As a former drummer, I am always inspired by rhythm patterns from all
over the world. There'a a syncopatic afro/latin-funk beat that's inspired
this song. All the harmonies in the chorus are afro inspired.
Instrumental arrangements, like the piano motives are more latinesque.
Think "Talking Heads" Remain in Light's hypnotic feel. The lyrics: they
have a serious and self-reflecting side: how to "behave' normally these
days. Sing along! ("hey ya hey ya nanana") Behave...just like I do!
Watch promo 2:
Behave [Lyris/ Music: JoosTVD]
Larry likes to scream for hours
Fergie likes to eat the flowers
(Hey ya hey nanana)
There's a fire in my kitchen
A little murder on the floor
Nothing beats this witching anymore
I can't control my urges
Life's too easy in my court
And after all these purges I get bored
As long as you behave
(As long as you behave just like I do
And if you won't behave than I won't too)
Nothing will be happening to you
Behave just like I do I do
Hey ya hey ya nanana
Hey ya hey ya nanana
Hey ya hey ya nanana
Nothing will be happening to you
Hey ya hey ya nanana
Hey ya hey ya nanana
Hey ya hey ya nanana hey!
I see a bubble when you babble
The struggle when you slip
Who cares about the hassle when you're hip?
You cannot lose your temper
So you better sell your soul
And you can love me tender
Or not at all
As long as you behave
(As long as you behave just like I do
And if you won't behave than I won't too)
Nothing will be happening to you
Behave just like I do I do
Fergie likes to eat the flowers
Larry likes to scream for hours
Let me walk you through the papers
Maybe if I see you later
Hey ya hey ya nanana
(Hey hey hey)
Hey ya hey ya nanana
(Hey hey hey)
Hey ya hey ya nanana
Let me walk you through the papers
Hey ya hey ya nanana
(Hey hey hey)
Hey ya hey ya nanana
(Hey hey hey)
Hey ya hey ya nanana
Maybe if I see you later

Another nice review from Music World (source: https://goo.gl/gy84HQ)
Auteur: Fred Pach
"Ongeveer een jaar na zijn vorige album Open My Parachute bracht de
Nederlandse multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Joos TVD (alias
van Joost van Dinther, met als muzikale bijnaam Joost The Vanished
Dutchman) een nieuw album uit, getiteld Sagitario. En ook dit keer stelt
hij de luisteraar niet teleur. Wederom een aangename, dansbare mix van
r&b, funk, pop en cabaret en een jazzy sausje, waarmee een aantal
nummers wordt opgekleurd, is hoorbaar.
In het eerste nummer Private Scene zingt Joos TVD op grappige wijze dat
het toilet onderhand de enige plek is waar men tegenwoordig alleen kan
zijn. In andere liedjes komen onder andere aan de orde hectische
vriendinnen en het leven van de rijken in Hollywood. Rode draad in de
liedjes zijn de humorvolle teksten en de grote afwisseling tussen de
twaalf nummers was voor mij evenals op zijn vorige album ook een
aangename ervaring.
Het is opnieuw nauwelijks voor te stellen dat
we hier te maken hebben met een puur soloproject. Van Dinther bespeelt
alle instrumenten en schreef alle liedjes zelf. Zijn muzikale projecten
zijn dan ook uniek. Dat het album je het gevoel geeft naar een
voltallige band te luisteren, komt mede doordat hij gebruik maakt van
‘drum samples’ met als prettig gevolg dat de organische waarde van het
album op peil blijft. Sagitario is wederom een geslaagd muziekproject
van JoosTVD".
English: About a year after his last album Open My
Parachute brought the Dutch multi-instrumentalist / singer-songwriter
Joos TVD (aka Joost van Dinther, with musical nicknamed The Vanished
Dutchman Joost) a new album, entitled Sagitario. And once again he does
not disappoint the listener. Again a pleasant mix of danceable R &
B, funk, pop and cabaret and a jazzy flavor, which some songs are
tinted, is audible.
In the first issue Private Scene Joos TVD
sings funny way that the toilet by now the only place where one can
nowadays only. In other songs will include raised frantic friends and
the life of the rich in Hollywood. Theme in the songs are humorous texts
and the large variation between the twelve songs for me as well as his
previous album a pleasant experience.
Again, it is hard to
imagine that we are dealing with a purely solo project. Van Dinther
plays all the instruments and wrote all the songs himself. His musical
projects are therefore unique. The album you hear makes you feel a whole
band, is partly because he uses 'drum samples' with the pleasant result
that the organic value of the album is maintained.
Sagitario is another successful music project from JoosTVD.
