I couldn’t stop laughing watching this. It keeps getting better and better. I particularly like the appearances by Chewbacca and Darth Vader. I’m actually really impressed by the production value of this video, too.
‘Cello Wars’ was done by the The Piano Guys, who I wrote about earlier this week, but it’s easily one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a while. You have to watch it all the way to the end because even the plug is funny.
This project came about because they were shooting a video for another song and their video production guy decided to make the cello bow look like a light saber as a joke. The cello player in both, Steven Sharp Nelson, showed the video to his 6 year old son, who loved watching his dad wield a light saber. So in homage to John Williams, they decided to make a song and video using the epic Star Wars music.
The production took a LOT longer than they ever expected. They ended up needing 24 hours of time in front of a green screen, countless hours in editing the film and the music, and Nelson (yes, he’s both the Jedi and the Sith) broken numerous strings and bows during the filming.
As I’ve explored more and more of the work of The Piano Guys, I’ve decided that their name is a bit of a misnomer. They play these cellos at least as often as the piano. This is certainly not a complaint, as I really like cellos. And this is a really good use of them.
The Piano Guys and the Cello Wars.
Very very talented! And unique! I’ve never heard of them before.
It’s so fun to find out about new and talented artists. I’m glad you featured them!
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing, I haven’t heard of them before today.
Haven’t heard of those guys too before.. but they sure are talented 🙂
That’s pretty funny. I love spoofs, these guys are also pretty talented with the cello.
Never heard or seem these guys before–they are good!
Got to show all my Star Wars friends this is great. Thanks!
This sounds hilarious. Gotta check it out.
This made my day! Haha!
I haven’t heard of these guys but they look cool. I love spoofs too!
We love spoof’s around here. I’ll have to watch this when the kids get home from school. Thanks!
I love such spoofs & honestly, not all spoofs could attract everyone around. But this one definitely looks like a hilarious stuff spoofing the famous Star Wars. Would love watching it & have some fun!
They are so talented. I have not watched them before but I will be checking out all of the other videos from The Piano Guys that you were talking about.
I love love love The Piano Guys. They have a huge amount of talent and so much personality.
Amazing! They are so talented!
