I have a little project in mind for work. It involves taking many different people reading a speech and then editing them together into a single performance.
Does anyone know of something along those lines that I could use as an example? The closest I can think of is that Will.I.Am video where a bunch of celebrities talk-sang parts of an Obama speech, but that’s not really the same.
So, to sum up, I’m looking for a video of a speech (or maybe a scene from a play) edited together from multiple people delivering the same piece.
Every day at Colonial Williamsburg, the re-enactors play various events that lead up to the Revolutionary War and Declaration of independence. At the end of the day, everyone gathers at the original governor’s house (I think). The “Governor” begins to read the Declaration from the balcony where it was actually read from in 1776. Other re-enactors then pick it up, and each recite a sentence, going around in a circle. Being a history geek, I loved it. My 10 year old at the time, and his cub scout pack, were pretty"meh" about it, until the cannon fire at the end. There are several versions on YouTube, here is one of them:
The Congressional Republicans staged an event in the Capitol a few years back, with members stepping up to a microphone in sequence and reading a section of the constitution. It was kinda problematic, as they left out stuff they didn’t like.
I’ve seen several public service announcements where a bunch if celebrities appear, each on screen for about 5 seconds to deliver the next line. Due to the compelling nature of these short videos, I can’t remember what any of them were about.
