Super cute, thanks for posting her pictures

[Red Gold]

chazz asked me to translate the cut of the interview he uploaded on YouTube. I post the translation here so every board member can read it. But chazz might also want to do subtitles for the vid.

Here goes:

[The 3 guests are singing „Last Christmas“ until 0:17]

Interviewer: Sensational! Scarlett Christmann, you were responsible for the instrumental part of the recorded song?

Scarlett: Exactly.

Interviewer: When the SWR [a small regional German TV station] was calling, it was clear to you that you would join this project? [0:23]

Scarlett: Yes, immediately. It was quite a surprise. But when you get a call like this you just have to say yes and join. At that moment you are just enthusiastic and so happy. [0:31]

Interviewer: What role does music play in your life?

Scarlett: A very big one. Music has been part of my life ever since my childhood. I study music science at the college right now. And I want it to become an even bigger part of my life. [0:44]

Interviewer: And was it tough to switch to the pop music genre and play stuff like that on the accordion?

Scarlett: No, not at all. People think the accordion is just for playing old-fashioned folk music. But there is so much more you can do with the accordion. In this case: playing a pop song. [0:58]

Interviewer: And how much work was it to get into that [pop song]?

Scarlett: Actually not that much. At the sound recording studio we were improvising a lot. Things come spontaneously when you listen to a song and become familiar with it. So it all went well. [1:10]

Interviewer: So it was rather easy?

Scarlett: Hm-hm.

Interviewer: Well then, let’s give our audience a backstage view to join Scarlett Christmann [at work]. We were watching over her shoulder at the studio and at the shooting location [in the forest]. [1:20]

[Shots of Scarlett playing the accordion.]

Interviewer offscreen: And then you didn’t just bring the accordion to the studio or played at home, but you also played in the Westerwald forest. [1:44]

Scarlett offscreen: Exactly.

Interviewer offscreen: What did it feel like to play while being surrounded by nothing but nature? [1:48]

Scarlett offscreen: It felt great. Although it was very cold and my fingers started to freeze. But except that it was very good. [1:55]

Interviewer: What was the filming like anyway? Did it lead to any attention? Did the people around you take notice and watched what is going on? [2:03]

Scarlett: Well, it was rather quiet when we did our [forest] filming. It was a rather quiet spot to begin with. Most people were working at the time, because it was a filming at the middle of the day. So a lot of people didn’t take notice at all. It also took place at a closed nature reserve area. [2:17]

Interviewer: So it was all quiet?

Scarlett: Exactly.

Interviewer: So what are you taking with you from the experience with that project – singing Last Christmas for [the German state of] Rheinland-Pfalz… and with Rheinland-Pfalz and the SWR? [2:26]

Scarlett: Well, that was one very special Christmas. And also a very special pre-Christmas time. And it was a lot of fun doing a filming for TV. [2:37]

[The End.]

Thanks for doing that Red Gold. I don't know how to do subtitles without having to reupload the video so I just put the translation you did in the videos description. Next time I'll ask for a translation in advance so I can put the subtittles in using windows live movie maker.

Her name (albeit with.. different emphasis... Scarlett? Christ, mannnn) was just what I thought when I saw her...

Totally seeing the Barbara Meier resemblence too, lovely.

Sort of. I edited the youtube video in windows movie maker and found a website that converts video files to gif files. It came out better than I expected.

Yeah I posted that to the facebook page but forgot to post it here. Thanks for adding it.

Any truth to the rumor that you're taking accordion lessons?
