I love the sense of motion in this! Every clip is perfectly timed, to the point where I started to forget how limited the source footage actually was. Thank you so much!

[d_generate_girl]

This is so much fun! I'm really impressed how you made the most of the footage we have, and I love how much energy this has.

This vid is so utterly charming! I love the energy of it, the sheer glee of it. And there are so many hilarious little moments -- the Schuyler sisters on "smoking in the girls' room," Hamilton and Laurens on "kissing friends" (I admit it, I LOLed), Hamilton's admonishing finger on "ain't no order in this courtroom." I would *love* to dance to this vid at the next Club Vivid. :D

MTE on the "kissing friends" bit! :D

[gorgeousnerd]

+1 on "kissing friends"!

[fairestcat]

There's a great sense of movement in this, it's quite lovely.

Just like a little earthquake, indeed. How fun!

[leanwellback]

I did not know how much I needed Daveed Diggs dancing around to Janelle Monae in my life. Thank you for correcting this oversight ♥_♥

Seriously, though, this is AN ENDLESS DELIGHT! Hamilton, my little ol' earthquake ♥!! Great job :D

[pearwaldorf]

This is so delightful and joyous and kinetic.

[silverhare]

Such great use of movement!

[lannamichaels]

This is fantastic.

This was so fun! I like that it spanned both in-story feelings and the meta feelings. I had no idea there was so much footage available, but your vid obviously didn't feel the lack at all.

SO GREAT so much fun such a perf song choice!

[no_detective]

Wow, this has such great flow! DELIGHTFUL.

[boomqueen]

[ironed_orchid]

[livrelibre]

So much fun and love the song choice!

[croissantkatie]

Oh my god, Janelle Monae and Hamilton, such a perfect combination! This was awesome!

[futuransky]

This was delightful!

[gorgeousnerd]

SO PERFECT. I love Janelle Monae and this song choice in particular because it feels very thematically appropriate with the show, and it's clipped/vidded beautifully.

[felis]

Yay! \o/ Great use of the show footage, both for motion and lyric ties (some favourites have already been mentioned by other commenters, but I just have to point out the Jefferson clip on "nothing gets the funk off" :D).

[isis]

Lovely editing and timing. As others have mentioned the motion and flow is superb, - I especially liked the focus on hand and arm movements.

[pi]

This is super great! It has a wonderful sense of movement/dance and really shows up the musical theater aspect of this play, like I would totally use this as a trailer for it (and will). Super fun to watch. :)

[garrideb]

I would never have thought of this song for a Hamilton vid, and even when I saw the title before watching it I was dubious how it would match. But you made it fit perfectly - thematically and lyrically, but especially with a perfect match of the the actor's gestures to the music.

I loved how you matched "I need to know" at 0:31 to Eliza calling out. And "Ain't no order in this courtroom!" Hee! And the dancing at "but nothing gets the funk off" just fits the cadence of the lyrics perfectly. Awesome work!

[bingeling]

Wonderful musicality, Jefferson's killing it!

[fiercynn]

this is so much fun!
