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.

Love the movement in this, so much fun.

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

[chaila]

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

[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!

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

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.

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.

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.

[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.
