Update: Houston Symphony enlists Yoda, Freddie Mercury & Final Fantasy actionfigures to tout July concerts
Update: The Houston Symphony has removed these adorable promotional vids from their YouTube channel due to some copyright issues. It's a shame, if you ask us. Have approved, Yoda would.
The Houston Symphony sheds its stuffy image in a new video campaign to promote its July concert series: The Planets – An HD Odyssey Plus Star Wars & More (tonight); The Music of Queen (Thursday); and Distant Worlds — Music from Final Fantasy(July 24).
After trips to five different area Toys "R" Us stores, the symphony marketing team found ideal action figures to be interviewed by unexpectedly comedic staffer Holly Cassard. They posted the results of their sometimes all-night labor on Houston Symphony's YouTube channel to lure music lovers to the concerts and, we assume, amuse the masses stuck at the office.
Watch Cassard interview Yoda, Freddie Mercury and Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning below, with varying degrees of success:
