YES JEEJA YANIN KICKING PEOPLE IN THE HEAD.

*ahem*

This is great! I love how well you've timed the fight scenes to the music, so it really is like dancing. (Especially the first one where Deu goes off on her own, she is so sassy, and you've really captured that.) How can human beings even do all that, I DON'T KNOW.

I love it, thank you so much.

[shati]

Deu's first fight on her own is HILARIOUS. And thank you! The movie is so full of "HOW CAN YOU DO THAT." Also, unrelated to Festivids, your post about the song you're using to vid Raging Phoenix made me literally laugh out loud (just based on the title, I'm not familiar).

[caramarie]

I remember the first time I watched a Muay Thai movie and being like, what, you mean all those fancy moves people do with special effects and wires are things that are actually physically possible?? *mind blown*

Yay, going to run off and download now ♥

[cupidsbow]

Love the movement in this, so much fun.

[shati]

Thank you! :D It's a fun movie.

[revolutionaryjo]

If this movie is half as good as this vid, I really need to see it as of yesterday.

[shati]

I do recommend it. :D (And thank you!)

[chaila]

Oh wow, great editing. So many times I was like, is this fighting or are they actually dancing?

[laurashapiro]

This.

[shati]

Haha, well, the answer is kind of "yes." And thank you!

[echan]

OMG the timing and flow of all the fighting, f'ing amazing, purely awesome. The plot you fit in and the structure of the vid made it even better.

MEYRAIYUTH!

OMG, this is amazing. And I kept watching it with my mouth open remembering, "Right, and THAT also happened in this movie, and so did THAT, and SO DID THAT..." you did a fantastic job putting together all the awesomeness, and all the Deu kicking people in the head with her shins. Great!

[shati]

Hahahaha, SO MANY THINGS happened in the movie that I was just -- how??

Meyraiyuth. \o/ Thank you!

[laurashapiro]

Wow, that was beautifully done. I wanna be dancing to this at Club Vivid for sure.

[shati]

I'd be all in favor of accidentally starting a CVV Jeeja Yanin tradition. And thank you!

[franzeska]

Fabulous editing! This doesn't actually look like that happy a source, but you've got me wanting to do my aerobics workout while bouncing along to this vid.

[shati]

Thank you! Not happy, no, but it is energetic ...

[thirdblindmouse]

What even is this, besides, y'know, dancey and glorious? (I feel very gratified to learn that my guesses of "breakdancing", "capoeira", "muay thai", and "wtf" were all correct.) The glasses are ultra-cool. Only knife trampoline boots could make this vid cooler.

[shati]

Only knife trampoline boots could make this vid cooler.

MY GREATEST REGRET

Yes, all these things are correct.

[mithborien]

Unfamiliar with the source, but the vid looks amazing. Editing fight scenes to music can be hard so kudos to how effortless you made it look.

[shati]

The source has a lot of visually fun fight scenes, which helps. Thank you!

[aruan]

Your transitions are utterly flawless. Honestly, this should come with a warning: Take a deep breath before starting this vid, because you'll forget to while it's going. Really great job pairing the movement to the music.

[shati]

Thank you so much, this was very nice to read. :D
