Thanks!

Daw~! That was so much fun, I love the sense of movement, and the camaraderie of the horsemen. Lovely!!

I had no idea how to vid this source, and then you said, "Dance vid," and that was perfect! It ended up more themed than sparkly disco-ball -- if you have a song you particularly like from a more current artist, I'd be happy to make you a treat vid.

This was fantastic--I loved how it was the magic that really became the main character. And that sequence near the end with the key falling? That was so gorgeous.

[deelaundry]

Thanks! How everybody felt about magic, and what magic ended up doing, was the most emotional part of the movie for me. The key falling is so interestingly shot, with the light and motion, that the moment I saw it, I knew I'd end up vidding it at some point. :)

I love how you went for the sense of wonder and surprise rather than the heist elements; I recall the movie pointing out that magicians don't do what they do in order to "trick" people but to astonish and delight them, and you definitely worked your own magic on this vid.

Thank you! That's exactly what I loved about the movie; its argument in favor of goodness and joy, and the striving to be part of something bigger than one's self, to serve the common good.
