A Collective Voice

First draft · 35 minutes · For review


Structure of the edit 

0:00

Intro — Archive & Teasers

Everyone will watch this — important to review carefully. Each musician speaks once or twice. Archive footage introduces everyone and sets the conversation. Music frames the mood.

~3:00

Full conversation

Drawn mostly from the second half (better energy), with key statements from the first part woven in. Difficult moments are kept — that’s the reality. Small edits to avoid misreadings.

Grandpa joke start Nassib statement trimmed Alon / Momo phone: keep or cut?

~35:00

End

Closes with a light moment, then music for gravitas, then fade to black and full orchestra image.

Beethoven Triple Concerto (2019) Fade to black · Full orchestra

Three versions to review

Option 1: Full edit

Full edit Proposed


The complete proposed version. Reflective tone throughout the intro. Opens with the grandpa joke as a warm ice-breaker. Nassib's first statement slightly trimmed.


Music arc

Intro: Beethoven 7 · II Allegretto (2012) → Bruckner 9 · end (2019)

End:  Beethoven Triple (2019)


 

Names, instruments & years of joining are still being polished.

Subtitles are for now automatically generated by the program. But I will review all in EN + other languages to follow. 

OPTION 2: INTRO

Intro variant 

Serious start, LONGER · Slow music

More weighted opening tone. Same slow music. Opens with a longer historical context by Muriel rather than the grandpa joke. More weighted, formal tone from the first frame. It also features Nassib's entire first historical statement. 


Music arc

Intro: Beethoven 7 · II Allegretto (2012) → Bruckner 9 · end (2019)

End:  Beethoven Triple (2019)


Note the video below just shows the intro! The rest of the conversation is the same as the full edit. 

OPTION 3: INTRO

Intro variant 

Upbeat transition · WEDO archive images

SHORTER START, JOKE ICE-BREAKER


Warmer, more expansive feel. Music lifts into Presto — more expansive feel. Includes additional WEDO historical archive images between teasers. The video starts with the grandpa joke, and then the first Nassib statement is a bit trimmed 

Music arc

Beethoven 7 · II Allegretto → III Presto (2019) Too cheerful?

End:  Beethoven Triple (2019)


Note the video below just shows the intro! The rest of the conversation is the same as the full edit.
