This is such a great vid! I really enjoyed the song choice for this, and I love the clips, too. I recently re-watched this film at the theater and all of that rush of feeling of having loved it as a child came back. This vid also recaptured that whole feeling. Thank you, anony-vidder, for sharing this with us!
Dark Crystal is still the movie I've seen most in a theater and this vid captured a lot of what I love about it. I'm also really impressed with the song choice.
I really wish I'd seen this film sometime in the last decade or so, because i've forgotten so much of what's going on. It definitely still works, even though I spent the first watch going, huh? what's that? I don't remember that, what's going on there?
I tried vidding a 70s animated film recently, and I discovered I pretty much had to double speed every clip to not make it seem excruciating slow motion. Compared to today's animations, eg. Wall.E, where so much is happening, it's hard to get older and slower footage to keep up with fast songs and with today's vid expectations. So I'm really impressed with how much you've maintained movement throughout, because (although I can't remember the film well enough to be sure) I'm pretty sure it would have been easy to, with longer shots, get bored with waiting for the puppets to move. By maintaining the movement throughout the vid, you've made sure the audience can see these slow moving puppets as characters with agency and bravery and hard decisions to make.
Oh, wow, that was really intense! Reminded me just how much this movie isn't made for kids, no matter how many cute Muppets it had! I was leaning forward and holding my breath most of the way through.
