The Mixup - Sound Connects People
Filmed and Edited by: Jacelyn Chia This video is for our SMU module, Storytelling for Organisations and Brands, group project. – “The Mixup” is a heartwarming piece about human relationships, and emotions. It showcases how sound has the power to bridge the chasms of time and connect people. Ally and Reuben met in 1999 at their day care center. They shared the same interest for drawing and would often be found doodling instead of playing. One day, Reuben was teased by the other kids for his unique drawings. Ally then played him a song on her disc player to cheer him up and encouraged him to believe in himself. However, as they grew up and life gets busier, they eventually lost touch. 15 years later, Reuben walks into a cafe where Ally was working at. Reuben recognized her immediately, while she did not seems to have noticed him. Reuben was dying to reconnect with Ally, but did not know how. Little did he know that their lives would be entangled again when their airpods got mixed up. With this mix-up, Reuben accidentally ends up in Ally's phone call where he listened to a heartbreaking new of the passing of her beloved grandmother. As Ally rushes off to the hospital, Reuben plucked up his courage and chased after her. With the connectivity radius of the airpods, Reuben learnt more about her life that he had missed out. As he enters into her world, both their physical and emotional distance is slowly made closer. At the hospital, he approached her and revealed the mix-up. Ally was shocked and wanted to return his airpod. However, he instinctively plugged it into her ear instead; and played the song that had always been between them as kid. Ally smiled as the sense of familiarity and comfort of Reuben engulfed her. Sound has transcended both distance and time. – 🎵 Music Credits: LOVE (Instrumental) – 린 (Lyn), 한해 (HanHae) Supermarket Flowers (Instrumental) – Ed Sheeran "Saturn" – Sleeping at Last 🌈Special thanks to The Eureka School House and Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters Singapore No copyright infringement intended
