Petition to get Brett and Eddy to feature in a movie! ⬇️

I like how there were literally only two movies

The Chinese boy cried probably because he had to do so many takes of the same piece

Me : Mom I want 5:38 Mom: We have 5:38 at home 5:38 at home : 5:57

appreciation comment for twoset’s editor 👇🏼

We’re not a roasting channel, we’re an applauding channel -Eddy Chen 2019

I actually watched that Chinese movie. It's about a single guy who adopted a baby abandoned at a train station, next to a violin. And he paid to have his son learn the violin. It was a very moving story.

“Why is the banana blue! It’s supposed to be yellow” *cries in green banana*

me: has never even touched a violin still me: has been obsessed with this channel for about a week now

*The director of the movie knows that twoset will be watching them*

Teaching a musician how to act is easier than teaching an actor to play an instrument.

My mom just said that David Garrett is the most beautiful man she's ever seen 😂

I had a feeling when they say "look at him, he can act, he cried!", is like the equivalent of us musicians hearing people say "He can play flight of the bumblebee, he's so good!" lol

He was crying because no matter how good he is he will never be LingLing EDIT: Omy thanks for the ♥ TwoSet

I know im late, but i was an extra in that paganini scene, it was filmed in two days, so David must have played this piece like a hundred times, and he nailed it. Every. Time. So yeah, bad editing. There also wasn't that much screaming on set, most of it is edited in

Fun fact: most of the music from the movie is actually Garrett... He played all the violins and composed some of the score.

David G. himself said he won't act anymore. He realised he is a musician and not an actor. 👏

Me: Am I at the wrong channel? Where’s the roast for today? Also me: [5 minutes later] Yup I’m at the right place.

This is honestly how i felt with Coco and guitar. They had actual guitarist play the music and then animated Miguel based off the players and it was RIGHT! And as a guitarist that makes the whole world of a difference. They even got the proper playing style too since each style has different adjustments and holds and stuff and it was super impressive!

Was I the only one who was worried about Garret’s hair getting stuck in the bow?

I love the editor.

brett and eddy: "it's the editors fault" their editor: *:(*

Did anyone else get literally chills when watching the boy play that first piece?

The women's screams during Paganini's playing - I think they are a reference to some of the legend about his deal with the devil, that he would imprison souls of women in his violin which could be heard screaming while he played

Paganini used to practice 15 hours a day when he was a child (he started playing at 7 years), he send a letter to his close friend rossini saying that its really sad that people consider hard work and pain as a devil’s work EDIT : its 22/10, happy birthday franz liszt!!, and thank you for the likes.

Mainstream: “Violinists are so romantic❤️” Brett & Eddy: “NoOnE eVeR cAlLeD uS cUtE”

I am so glad you did 'Together" You really need to watch the whole movie...it is so special. The scene you showed is the very end of the movie. The boy has turned down playing the big concert in favor of staying with his father. He was 'hearing' the orchestra but playing in the train station for his father. This is one of my all time favorite movies. Please watch the whole thing... you will love it.

It's not a projector, its a limelight. Two fuels and a large amount of pressurized oxygen were pumped onto a mineral block made of lime and limestone dust and set alight. All this was backed with a parabolic reflector. The heat of the combustion was very bright, but still was too too skewed toward the red end of the spectrum. Once the lime block heated up, it would emit blue and violet light to make a balance of colors similar to sunlight.

I was an extra in the Devil's Violinist in the scene featured in this video. I can tell you that David Garrett really did play in every take, but they had a pre-recorded track that they synched the movie with. The recorded track was playing quite loudly while filming, so we could only hear a little of what he was playing live. The timing might have been a little off for that reason. Also, I was standing right next to the door when Paganini swooped in, and the director specifically instructed us (the audience) to all turn towards him immediately as he started playing. A few people seem to turn too soon, maybe because they used take no 5 or something and we were anticipating his grand entrance. I'm also glad I wasn't picked to be a screaming fan, that was way over the top ;) Best part of filming was an hour-long set change where David Garrett stayed on stage and played Bach's Chaconne and other things to pass the time. Oh, and the entire orchestra could in fact play (except for the panicking concert master), but since they also played to the pre-recorded track, they didn't even bother to tune their instruments properly. It sounded quite horribly off key.

5:14 that did happen, Paganini used to smoke cigars and women would pick up the ashes and put them in their medallions; even after getting married they kept the pendants. Women fainted at the sight of him even on the street. He was one of the first musicians to be accused of making a deal with the devil; he died without the last rites. He did encourage the image, wearing all black, riding in a black carriage pulled by all black horses. His greatest tour in London featured him actually diving off the stage directly onto the carriage.

Hey Twoset! I'm a featured extra in Tv & Film, where I'm mostly hired for my musical abilities [or to mime them]. I can tell you from experience of how/why musicians dont sync up most of the time, as the reality is in filming: Their job is to capture pictures [not audio] - thats someone elses department [which are seldom on set and are more post production]. Most times, you aren't even given the music [no feel, no tempo, no sheet music, no... nothing!] where you're just told to mime, though I have been apart of productions that gave sheet music but during filming - they might do a couple of take with the music playing in the background for you to sync up with [causing fractional delays], but the most difficult part is having to remember what bar the director said cut, and from which bar you begin on 'pick up' [basically, you have to cue the bars to the movements/what is happening in the scene] - so a good example is when the violinist is walking through the crowd [you picked up the slide at a different point] - where this comes down to the editing [as you have a person concerned only with what it looks like editing the visuals] not the individual performer. The only instance in which you are able to see note for note play, is when an Actor is used and they *physically* record the piece and where it is indicative of the character to break into song as part of their dialogue/direction in the film/tv series. It takes alot of time to reherse as well as even longer to get right in filming - which is why it's tended to be brushed over and not focused on in the filming process [which is a shame to witness as a musician]. Hope this provides some incite into the process, thank you for your videos and inspiration to get practicing. Cariad fawr o Gymru - Much love from Wales x

I was somehow more distracted by the love interest’s makeup in the last one. 😅 Her tan cream foundation was creasing in a time where it didn’t exist. Fashion History Lesson!: It most likely would’ve been pure white powder (there were cakes too, but it wouldn’t have had that finish or coloring). Basing everything off Late Regency Era(let’s say 1820s): The blush is good, but it should probably be a bit stronger (you wanted to look flush). The lips are good, as are the brows and eyes from what this amateur can see. The hair I’m unsure of. Regency was known to recall Ancient Greek hairstyles like the chignon with face-framing curls or the pull-ups you see on statues. Having the hair in free, perfect curls with no chignon or containment save for a few flowers? Idk, seems pretty sus to me. Maybe mid to late 1840s, and I just can’t see the chignon? But since “the Devil’s Violinist” was dead by that point.... all in all, it’s serviceable, just like the violin-playing. And that concludes your Fashion History Lesson of the foreseeable future!

"The recordings on youtube were all badly synched so we bought the movie" Watch it and realize it's actually the movie who is badly synched -_-'

He didn’t sell his soul to the devil he sold it to... Ling ling

Going back to David Garrett's record video where he broke his own record by a second and a half, he is definitely the fastest not sacrilegious violinist ever.

back in the days probably the violinist was a guitarist in a nowadays rock band

how has the dude not got his hair caught between the bow and the strings yet...

Yes, yes it did. Ladies went crazy for Paganini. I was just there tomorrow.

In Highschool Musical 3, Disney hired myself and other members of my youth orchestra to play in the movie. >< We only got about 10 seconds of screen time in the movie, but they spent the money on real musicians at least!

Am I the only who's super confused in how he played it perfectly while his hair was touching the strings

Do you know the joke about Paganini: They say Paganini made a deal with the devil. We don't know what it was that Paganini got, but the devil got violin lessons. :-D

The woman in the audience were like overheating

OHHHHH MY GODDDDD CANNOT BELIEVE THEY REVIEWED "TOGETHER". That movie is the reason I am a violin student now. *shedding tears*

The child actor Tang Yun is a talented violinist and graduated from Colburn. But in the movie, the sound track was actually played by another violinist Li Chuanyun. He studied under Dorothy DeLay at Julliard.

I get the same problem watching “army” movies, being an ex solider it’s difficult to watch them movies cause they forget to reload or don’t do proper drill

"imagine you watch a movie and the banana is blue" Brett's metaphor is on another level

“He can act, he’s crying” is like saying “he can play, look, he has a bow”

That first movie, Together, is my favorite film about a musician I’ve ever seen. Brett and Eddie should absolutely see it. Not only is it a touching movie but the realism in being a young musician is so incredibly accurate both on and off stage.

Let me point out how important is to have an EDITOR that understands music as well!

The cheering in the Paganini movie seems incorrect, but that’s actually accurate! I’m taking music history right now at Uni and classical concerts back then were more similar to modern rock concerts, in a way. People did cheer and clap at times that seem inappropriate to us now. Besides the cheering, the concert was actually portrayed pretty modern. The modern quiet concert developed towards the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century. There should’ve been a lot more talking and moving around for it to be historically accurate ;)

8:00 a girl was looking down her phone or something, looks up then head down again.

Also, I love that the 18th century version of live-tweeting a concert is using your perfect pitch to quickly write down sheet music of the piece.

Can we take a moment to talk about the rosin dust on the first guy’s instrument!? I have never seen rosin on an instrument in a movie! He was ACTUALLY playing and playing with enough movement to make that happen. I don’t know why it makes me so happy but it’s very satisfying.

"Paganini: the world's *first* rockstar" Did you all forget about me, tho?

Not only does that Together film have an actual violinist, but the way it's shot is so simple yet so effective. You don't have to do a lot to bring out the emotion in the song, just cut to the rhytmn let the musician bring out the emotion as they play, get the soundtrack right, and you're set. So easy, but movies with way bigger budgets can't even do that!

How have you guys not done a video on the best violin movie of all time “Red Violin” yet. Violin acting was super solid. And the music created for it was badass.

I got a bit of anxiety when his long hair kept coming closer and closer to the strings "is it going to get snapped by the bow?" "is it going to get tangled in the strings?"

It’s 2019, anything can happen. Proceeds to stare in shock as movies hire real musicians.

😂🤣I died laughing when Brett started playing the violin with a seductive look while Eddy looking at him in awe. 🤣😂🤣

5:37 looks like a mixture of thor and loki playing the violin

"Another episode of two set applause" 🤔 Me trying to recall previous episodes: Roast...roast...roast...

sacrilegious boi: *if u can play it slowly, u can play it quickly* eddy: *if u can play it quickly, u can play it slowly*

As someone who's studied several different martial arts, everything you mentioned about it not being distracting holds true.

David Garrett brought me here, a year ago.. Have been a TwoSetter ever since

You know you’re early when you can’t see ling ling jokes

This is how many hours Ling Ling practices a day 👇🏼

limelight, first theatrical spotlight, also a popular term for the incandescent calcium oxide light invented by Thomas Drummond in 1816. Limelight was first used for indoor stage illumination in the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1837 and enjoyed widespread use in theatres around the world.

One of my favourite "non-musician" violin performances was Daniel Brühl in Ladies in Lavender (actual track played by Joshua Bell). Apparently the orchestra he played with actually applauded him for how passionately and well he played.

Who is the sacrilegious peasant that dislikes this video???

The dislikes are the fake musicians that didnt get hired😂😂😂😂

The costumesssssssss, they are not accurateeeee. Like they aren’t horrible but there are some specific things that are wrong. It’s so hard to watch movies as someone who notices little things because it’s just like “ahhh the musicians are wrong- ah the clothes- ah that’s not how science works”

For the first movie, the boy is a real violinist, but the record was from a older famous violinist Chuanyun Li. The conductor and the orchestra are also real onesa. So everything looks real...Hahaha

Fact: You haven’t watched this entire video yet

ok but can you imagine brett crying when he plays tchaik concerto like that first guy?

7:15 Dominance has been asserted.

Together is one of my all time favorites. The music and story…damn

I only like movies with real musicians -Me, 2019

Brett and Eddy just can’t help themselves - second video still turned into a roast. They couldn’t roast the violinist, so they just roasted everything else. 😂

I actually cried a little at that first clip, like DAMN that was powerful and so well done 🙌🏼

I'm not a violinist but a piano player (mainly jazz) but even I can appreciate the fact that there are actually qualified musicians playing in a film. I can only imagine how much more satisfying it is for professionals like you guys lmao.

“It must be the editors fault” *Immediate sad face from the editor* Lmao aw!

loved that scene in the devil’s violinist where the devil tries to vore paganini while he plays minuetto, really iconic and was just so deep

I just love how Happy, Positive and Clever you guys are!!!

There should be 5 minutes in each film major's education teaching them that when you have a musician in your movie, get a musician to help with editing. 😂 There are so many Jane Austen films and others like this scene from The Devil's Violinist that don't have the violinist in sync with the music. There is so much more energy in an in-sync violinst!

Honestly, I dunno why the critics were so hard on David, when the real problem lied with the horrible script, subpar directing, and poor editing. Also, David originally only joined to compose and arrange the music (which he did, as seen in the orchestral arrangement here) because he loved Paganini. The director's the one who roped him into acting once they realised that not having a real violinist play the part would completely ruin the movie. Yet the script still managed to trivialise Paganini's existence, get many important facts wrong, and leave out most of the good parts of his life. There really wasn't much _any_ of the actors could do with that script and directing. The music was great, and the storyline bearable if you tell yourself this was just a composer with an identical name. *Spoiler Alert* (Do not read if you haven't seen the film yet). Paganini never had any dubious intentions toward an underaged girl (then gotten falsely accused of rape & had his fingers trampled on; that's both horrible and completely false). The story that the creators of the movie could have made from him and Antonia Bianchi would have been much better (not to mention believable, as they met as adults, were together for years, then had Achille). And that's just ONE of the many problems. He had many health issues popping up one after another, but his life as a virtuoso wasn't pathetic. It wasn't until his late years that things started to fall apart. His vices didn't define most of his life except during his late teenage years and before the end. He made friends with great composers and musicians, he invented many techniques for violin, and he composed some of the most difficult pieces for violin, period. His life was more than dramatic and impressive enough without inventing things that couldn't have happened. Making London look like a smoke room (foggy and no visibility are two different things) full of prostitutes, making him do drugs/drink/sleep with random women in every scene, and forcing an impossible love story where he's jilted, jailed, and has his fingers crushed is NOT an homage. I don't see what the actors could have done, given such a wrong script, the directing focused on the darkness looming over Paganini (seriously, constantly invoking the devil was overkill. People may have been superstitious enough to believe something like that at the time, but he was simply more talented and more hardworking. He allegedly practiced 15 hours a day as a kid. The film made it look like Urbani really was a supernatural agent, and completely controlled his life), and the editing to complement. The storyline really wasn't up to par with the music (which was often incomplete so they could spend more footage on the unnecessary and wrong parts).

“Imagine seeing a banana in a movie and it was blue”-ColorBlind Gang

I'm a basoonist and we played Tchaikovsky, it was so wonderful ! The violonist was amazing

Well according to Wikipedia, Paganini’s skills were only matched by his skills as a womanizer. So there probably were fangirls.

The new title should be: "When Movie Directors Finally Listen To TwoSetViolins"

those actors in the first one are actually super famous in China. Such an old movie 😋😍

Thank you guys for showing this. I fully agree with you, it is way more exciting to watch people play for real than to look at fake imitation. When done well, one can actually feel that "this is real". And even if they're stories, they need to feel real. Much appreciation for you guys and for those who do the job right. :)

Is anyone else in love with the high pitched “wAHHHH” sound effect they use in the background a lot

Every time they bleep a word I feel like they are saying viola

Together was a wonderful film!

I enjoy you guys and your input. Thank you so much for sharing and creating!! It is so fun to watch.

“He can act. He’s crying.” 😂

Actually when I watched the Devil's Violinist, I was fangirling at David the whole time so I had no time to roast the movie haha 😂😂 Edit: David actually did the music arrangements for the movie. So basically, the orchestra part was by him. Since it was a solo piece and not supposed to be played with the oke. And he said as long as nobody is against the music, he deems it as a success. Just saying haha.

Twoset: "this is an applause video where we applaud actual musicians 😁" Also twoset: "I mean the playing is great but this is just so cheesy," Me: I knew they couldn't keep it up for long 😂😂😂

5:11 - Yes, that used to happen . 7:18 - So, there is actually a story about paganini, that when he was playing solo with orchestra, Concertmaster (or one of the musicians in orchestra) got so lost in paganini's music that they kinda messed up or sth[I think, they are trying to portray this similar sceneario] . 8:30 - Paganini was really well-known for making people jump from emotions, he used to design his music the way that one variation would be really sentimental, other would make audience crack out of joy, [I believe they are trying to show this] . 9:42 -This is a popular story probably everyone with little knowledge about paganini may have heard of this. When he was giving concert in Vienna? one of the audience saw devil helping paganini to play violin. I think this scene is about that story.
