Abba- voulez-vous (yv disco uber edit).mp4 | YoussefVerse (Youssef Spartacus Kdiry)

I) Music Video Concept In the Spring of 2023, I started teaching a college digital video editing class where students were tasked with creating, developing and implementing projects to edit. One of the three major projects that I assigned them was the creation and implementation of a music video based off of a song of their choice. This was met with collective enthusiasm by the students, and they happily sprang into the work. It was at this point that I decided to create a music video edit project of my own, as it had been a while since I actually cut any video –– for employment or for my own creative pursuits. I settled on the extended version of ABBA's classic 'Voulez-Vous' (album: 'Voulez-Vous', 1979, Polar Music) –– a classic disco/dance song from one of my favorite music groups. The music video represents my dedication to Disco, love of ABBA and my craft as a professional film & video editor. Crank up the speakers and enjoy!
