Subject matter aside, there is some *extremely* clever musicality all through this, particularly in the final minute. I love what you did with the music and motion.

[giandujakiss]

Oh, thanks! I'm happy you thought so!

[bradcpu]

The way theater music builds to a crescendo lends itself really well to vids, particularly statement vids. I wish songs like this were used more often (and used as well as this).

[giandujakiss]

You know, that's funny, because theater music usually doesn't quite work for me in vids - the images and the sound rarely seem to mesh for me, for some reason, the way they do for vids using other kinds of music. So I never expected to use theater music myself. But I'm delighted it worked for you!

In general, I think songs from musical theater are too specific to the story the play is telling, and so it makes it hard to port them over into vidding. This song, though? Brilliant.

[giandujakiss]

Maybe that's the problem; I also think there's something about the more acoustic sort of sound that doesn't seem to work for me, but maybe that's just because the ones I've seen haven't been well-edited.

Anyway, yeah, I'm glad you liked the song choice for this - as soon as it occurred to me I knew I had to do it.

Oh, and thank you so much for the rec! I'm very grateful.
