Hey friends. Evan here. Just a quick note to pass on before I head out across town for yet another Happy Hour drinking fest (I’ve been enjoying my fair share of those lately). Remember last week when I went location scouting in the desert with my friend and roommate Tom? Well, the fruits of his labor have finally been…uh…how does that idiom go again? The fruits of his labor have been born? That can’t be right, fruit isn’t born, is it? Is there even an ending to that idiom? Maybe I should just say the fruits of his labor are ready to be enjoyed by the masses!
So check out, latest installment of Cosplay Piano. Episode 4 features the music of Game of Thrones!
In addition to “helping” Tom find a desert location last week (I use that term loosely as I spent the majority of the afternoon climbing rocks and running around like a hyperactive child), I spent some time contacting different ASOIAF/GoT websites to see if they’d help push the video. Needless to say it was exciting watching all the tweets and Facebook shares from the different webmasters/websites roll in once the video launched. If you are unfamiliar with the series, Cosplay Piano is a web series produced for YouTube by Stan Lee’s World Of Heroes. Each episode reinterprets classic film, television and video game scores. For her Walking Dead performance, Sonya played alongside a zombie violinist in an abandoned hospital. Dressed in skin-tight Catwoman garb, she beautifully re-imagined Danny Elfman’s score from the Tim Burton Batman films. For Game of Thrones — the quintessential modern TV epic — this episode of Cosplay Piano ratcheted up the grandeur and ambitiousness to match that of GoT. Sonya visits three different locales in Westeroes (and one in Essos!): a King’s Landing whorehouse, the great white unknown north of The Wall, the rolling green expanses of The North, and the arid barrenness of The Red Waste. She performs for an audience that includes familiar faces ranging from Bronn and Tyrion to Jon Snow and DRAGONS. Yeah. I know. Dragons. Also, keep an eye out for a certain wink-wink-nudge-nudge to book readers, of the she-wolf-in-a-crown-of-blue-winter-roses variety. Spoiler alert: Don’t Google “she wolf” “blue winter roses”, or you might reveal something you didn’t want revealed.
In an effort to give equal attention to all my creative friends, I am obligated to post no more than three paragraphs about any one person’s project, so that’s all I can really say about the newest episode of Cosplay Piano. Watch it, share it with your friends, and give some props to Tom for producing such an awesome homage.
