The OTHER Tetris Song

This seldom-played song from Tetris is "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. It was one of the three songs included in the original Tetris on the NES. I recorded this version to accompany my own Tetris spin-off that I programmed using Flash. Play it now at www.thomasdecarlo.com.

How did you film both hands? Put the camera in your mouth? I used to do that ha

[thomasdecarlo]

Almost! If I can recall, I put the camera on a closed tripod, strapped it to myself, and sat in a swivel chair so that I could twist and "pan" back and forth. It was definitely the hardest shot to do, not to mention trying to play piano while looking through a camera LCD.

Amazing. I'm wondering how many people you had there with the cameras. By the looks of it, it seams you had a few cameras that were just zoomed in so they would not be visible, am I wrong?

[thomasdecarlo]

Yes, you are wrong. I produced the entire project by myself.

@TheLordstrider It was composed by tchaikovsky (not cheikovsky), yet it was used on the American version of the NES game Tetris.
