As per the German quote below "over 200 people from the Munich airport family from the CEO on down..."
Like I said, impressive feat.

Well I guess yes. And you are correct about the wages. German pay rates are the best in the EUR. They have a first class relationship with management too. All in all if you work for a German company you are well looked after. much better than the USA or UK.

yes, thanks ... I couldn't post it on the american squawk because I already added it to my german squawk.
Thanks. I didn't see a video in the original link on my iPad. I'm a bit puzzled at the enthusiasm behind this video. I get the stilted acting by non actors, but what about the crappy music? ... And I'm curious what the two seas referenced by the lyrics are.
Germans should stick to technology...only good film they made was DAS BOOT. Completely different mindset.
It's not about the "quality" of the acting/production. It's about being a team-building exercise for the staff, and a humanizing element that makes the airports seem friendly and approachable for passengers.
Plus they're getting their viral messaging payload. It's interesting enough that it gets shared in today's social media world.
It wouldn't surprise me if infrequent passengers go back to watch the video before they arrive, depart or transit at Munich. Everyday, people are asking, "Was that you in the video?" "were you in the video?" There were 200+ employees involved. It would be difficult to go through that sitports and not touch or be touched by one of the employees that were featured in the video. They were folks from every conceivable function. And everyone else has uniforms that look exactly like their colleagues in video (for those that were off that day, or were otherwise occupied getting flights out on time). So, you'll get a staff that may he a little less stiff in their dealings with the public.
So on the whole, it's a positive for the airport (even if high school students could make a better video). These were the real people, who work everyday at the airport. If they paid a bunch of actors instead, the production "quality" would go up quickly, but the real "value" of the video would be immediately gone.

It's hard to see all the hard work that goes into choreographing the complex movements of all these ameteurs (well they're professionals in aviation, but as far as music videos, amateurs).
Felt a bit stiff, at least as compared to similar efforts pulled off by American high school students. Not sure if it because they're German, or because they're highly paid and all on the clock. It gets expensive to have so many aviation professionals standing around, while doing lots of takes.
I'm guessing it's the time restriction. Highschool students have lots of time to rehearse to perfect the production. Students time costs virtually nothing. I'm wouldn't even want to guess at how much the staff time cost for all these people.
My hats off to these folks for attempting it. It's a lot harder than it looks. Great job.
