Living, Breathing Music: A Chat with Ben Levy of C.E

A wonderful shout out to our Siung Films team from Ben Levy, Series creator of Classics Explained, in an interview with Interlude Hong Kong. “Levy credits his Producers Jo Luping, Antony Norman Gusscott, and Jesse Stevens for their skill on the visual side of the videos. The animation is done by an animation group from Sabah, Malaysia. The group is part of a government-funded school for animators and their visual imagery is filled with modern visual references: Fortuna, the spinner of Fortune’s Wheel in Carmina Burana, is more than a little like Vanna White of television’s Wheel of Fortune. Composers of all kinds are shown in sunglasses. They wear headphones. Twerking is done by the witches in the final movement of the Symphonie fantastique. David Attenborough turns up in the middle of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons when the music includes bird song. It’s all very funny in the details.”
