This is so much fun!! Your clips flow so seamlessly together and it looks so natural. This is a weird comment but my not-awake self doesn't really know how else to describe what she means. Basically, I love this vid and it's really well done, both technically and narratively!

It didn't seem like a weird comment at all! I'm delighted you noticed the work I put into continued motion -- it's something I'm trying to get better at. Thank you so much!

What a great and funny vid! Amazing storytelling :) I know I have to watch this movie now :)

[laurashapiro]

Thank you! And it's a great movie -- you won't be disappointed. (:

The credits are so cool, and I loved how you used the two singers for for each character. Yay for The Heat!

[laurashapiro]

Thank you! I had fun emulating the movie's credits.

Your work this year was great, too!

I love how this showcases the characters' badassery as well as their hilariousness, and I especially love how the video brings out the parallels between the two women, and the way they are awesome despite everyone disliking them for their unconventionality and their awesomeness.

Oh, thank you, I'm so pleased that came through! I thought that was one of the strongest aspects of the film; it really showed the women as well-rounded human beings, and the way neither of them quite fit in the world.

Smart use of the song for the characters' voices.
