I put together this video for a concert with the Prescott Pops Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ryan Gastonguay.

The video is loosely based on a blurry YouTube video I found that accomplished this tune, arranged by the great John Williams.

I used the blurry video as a template, redid it in HD, added more shots and the still photos of the composers, and added a click track. Ryan was wearing headphones so he could hear the click track and thereby keep in perfect sync with the picture. The editing and click track took me about 20-25 hours! But it worked out spectacularly!

I don’t own any of the video clips, photos of the composers, or the orchestra parts etc. I offer it as a homage to the incredible and indelible contributions did for the films themselves.

We orchestra worked very hard to get this to work, and Ryan did a spectacular job holding sync with the click track! (I’m playing harp in the orchestra as well!

None of us musicians could see the screen! Not even Ryan!! So it was a real accomplishment to get sync on the first try!

Please excuse the focus issues—the iPhone was trying to focus on the screen and it would blur out.
