Corey Vidal, a choreographer from Ontario, Canada has created a strikingly beautiful tribute to movie music legend John Williams, editing a four-part a capella medley some of Williams’ most memorable movie themes.
Vidal collaborated with the four-man a capella comedy group Moosebutter who assisted him in making the video which is choreographed to make it appear as if Vidal himself is singing all four parts. In an interview, Vidal discussed the video.
“The video was challenging to memorize,” Vidal said. “Not only to break down and remember all four parts perfectly, but to try and do it so well that people wouldn’t know it wasn’t real. We definitely succeeded at this.”
