The Piano Guys are famous not only for the incredible way they play the piano but also for the creativity of their videos. They’re always doing something unexpected that entertains you like no other. Their setting, the effects, and the videography of their videos make you feel like you’re in some other worldly place.
What they remind you of is magic, and the video down below will make you feel the same. Exactly what happens in this video? The Piano Guys use 88 piano keys to control 500,000 Christmas lights!
The video begins by showing a truck driving down the road as snow falls, already making the setting look gorgeous. This person gets out of the car and rolls out a piano and bench. Every inch of the piano is decorated in lights.
A man playing the piano presses a key, but when nothing happens, he acts confused. He tries it again to no avail. He doesn’t know what’s wrong until he realizes that the cords aren’t plugged in. He does that, and his piano lights up! This time, when he presses a key, a tree that’s decorated in blue lights comes on. He presses twice, and the tree flickers on and off. Then, it gets cooler.
He plays the simple melody of “Deck the Halls” and a house lights up. When he hits another key, a tree is lit. With another key, the house turns from blue to orange.
Once he’s satisfied with the lights working, he takes a seat on the bench and begins to play as the camera now gives us a full view of the houses with the lights. The man plays, “I Saw Three Ships,” and thus starts the light show.
With the camera giving us different views and angles, we can see the houses, trees, a few stars, and windows all changing colors with a press of his keys. They flicker on and off in turns, and the entire thing leaves you in awe. There are blues, oranges, reds, and whites, and they all make your chest feel light.
If you pay attention, you can tell how one key pressed repeatedly is having an effect on the lights. This isn’t something that you want to miss out on, and a video you’ll want to share with everyone. What’s better than magical videos during this time of year, right?
