Remote controlled choir - Genius - BBC Two

[HaniiPuppy]

"Now just incase anyone thinks that this is just like a rehearsal and that this machine doesn't work, I think we're the perfect people to prove"

When he paused, I expected him to follow that up with "that it doesn't work"

[daemonicstar]

What a great idea, definitely genius! :)

[ifsey]

I saw Dan, but where was Dan?

[SkuliiCandi09]

Damn! i never noticed before but, Dave Gormans damn sexy :p x

[fedokosmokrator]

Clever.

[liamdhardy]

What was he playing?

[xr2i]

Beethoven's Fur Elise.

[BeatsAndPulses]

I could have ultimate fun with that

[arky3000]

dan you are still fricking awesome mate, love this vid and any vid u have ever done... dont worry i wont tell anyone about you paying me to say that..... lol

[not4rental]

Very good. Perhaps electric shocks would have provided some more passionate warblings though. Maybe next time :)

[Xelanderthomas]

You just got 1,000 cool points from me, Dan.

[dananddanfilms]

Thanks Xelander :)

(Are cool points redeemable for cash at all...?)

[Xelanderthomas]

Come on man, you know money and realistic material concerns aren't cool (expect for new cellphones and high tech toys). Now you can turn em in for the New Age hugs and spiritual englightment that you want.

[thejoebobaggins]

Where's the other Dan?

[dananddanfilms]

He hasn't found out yet:

watch?v=zaU2YOg4rcE

[TopherPVFC]

should have slid down the keyboard at the end!

[dananddanfilms]

Believe it or not, that's exactly what I did! But they edited it out.

[TopherPVFC]

devastating :(

[dananddanfilms]

(especially as it kind of worked too!)

[aaronfromhastings]

Sorry to continue the trashing, but this was a totally wasted opportunity. Fur Elise is not that great a way of demonstrating a whole choir. They should have had a headphone on each choristor playing them the note they will have to sing constantly and it would have worked better. Sorry but it does sound like a sampler at 3:00. But, you know if it was done properly and they could have played The Great Gate At Kiev or something impressive. What an waste. But then it is the bbc

[dananddanfilms]

I'm not sure there was any motivation to use a sampler. The point was to test the idea... if it hadn't worked that well, it would have probably been quite funny, which would have been a result. I agree the method could have been improved (I suggested headphones in my original pitch) but really this is a comedy show. They didn't have the time or inclination to stage it in huge detail. Either way, you clearly think it's a good idea in general, so I'll take that as a compliment :)

[aaronfromhastings]

Oh, yes I think it's a great idea. I'm just being picky. I know full well how TV works, I have some inside knowledge. BTW I love your own videos. Aaron

[tastetherainbow12313]

i love genius

and dave gorman is sexy

[TrailorTrash88]

believe in the magic!i think its good regardless

[aaronfromhastings]

At 3:00 it is obviously a sampler

[monkeybike]

I don't think its a sample aaron. But they probably practiced.

[atticalice12]

it was sooo cool that would be hilareous to take part in...

[BritishRider]

lol

[doctorwhofreak4890]

ace!

[aaronfromhastings]

They used a sampler it was faked

[swhiz]

no they didnt lol

[dananddanfilms]

I was the man who pitched the idea. I can assure you, it wasn't a sampler.

[billynomates121222]

i saw you on the TV...xD

[aarandir]

They must be good singers to remember thier notes. I would get confused, go a little bit flat or a bit sharp, and I would NOT be able to remember my designated note.

[1505870394]

awesum!

[ViruneeV]

Wow, that's pretty cool. Not practical! But very cool.

[niknarnevets]

very clever but i've had one of those in my room for years .........

[andychappers07]

But, why dont you just use the choir effect on a keyboard.

[pirate1guy]

because it isn't as amazing and you dont see it

[aaronfromhastings]

They did

[tunpefamily]

that is awesomeee

[245thegreat]

pure genius

[LatumWay]

Oh my god I would have so much fun with that. I would try and press every key to amke sure no one gets left out.

[AlexTheRussianAnt]

Genius is a good program.

[MillionMoments1]

Brilliant

[Lindyhops17]

i really wanted one of them to just press down as many keys as they could..

[bethrosegirlxx]

LOL same :P
