Happy New Years y'all! Thought I'd kick off 2016 with a new orchestral cover - the first one I've done since 2013!
As a long time fan of the Star Wars series, I've always wanted to cover its music, but never had the time. With the recent release of "The Force Awakens," I had new found inspiration to work on my own rendition of the movie score.
I called upon the last minute help of my musician/cinematography friends in Los Angeles. Although it was the weekend before finals for many of them, we managed to record and film the whole medley in just a week. I cannot thank them enough for volunteering their talent and time for this fan project of mine! I hope you enjoy this nostalgic medley of Star Wars tunes as much as we did making it!
Original Score - John Williams
Arrangement - Albert Chang
Director/Producer - Albert Chang
Cinematographers - Jonah Grubb, Evan DeLorenzo, Madeline Rocco
Production Assistant: Harry Choi
Audio/Video Editing - Albert Chang
Violin 1 - Albert Chang, Akira Nagao, Zach Schwartz, Madhuri Rao, Abby Lewis, Blair Crossman
Violin 2 - Peter Mellinger, Justin Lee, Sam Du, Arlene Ho, Chloe An, Zichen Liu

![A Card Trick about Life, the Universe, and Everything
1st Place - Mismag822s Best Original Card Trick Contest 2012.
I came up with this idea after thinking about some of the interesting patterns I saw in a deck of cards, and then it worked itself out from there.
The song in the background is Shiita no Ketsui, from the Miyazaki film, Castle in the Sky, which I recorded on piano for this video.
Inspirations/Credits: Erdnase, Daniel Garcia, Benjamin Earl, Michael Vincent, and many others
Dialogue:
I have a theory about a deck of cards.
A deck of cards is a lot like life. For example, every deck has 2 colors, which represents day and night, and the 4 suits, the 4 seasons. Likewise, the values tell us that there are 365 days, 7 days in a week, 4 weeks in a month, and 12 months in a year.
I also believe a deck of cards illustrates some of the universal experiences people encounter at some point in time. In a lifetime, people discover the joys of finding love, and the sorrows upon losing it. They curse the occurrence of bad luck and poor health, and give thanks when blessed with good fortune and wellbeing. Finally, they enter battle, either physically or metaphorically, when their beliefs and ideologies clash with those of others, and only in reaching compromise are they able to achieve peace.
However, like this deck of cards, life is not everlasting. As we become older, it really makes you wonder what is the meaning of life...the universe....and everything...Well, that is [four] you [two] decide.
