Another Vid Rec

[grav_ity]

I'm only half-way through the alphabet, but I've reached Mary Poppins and I am declaring my winner for Festivids.

You Make Me Feel So Young

YOU GUYS.

This vid has no flash cuts or effects whatsoever, and the song has that lazy, Frank Sinatra feel. And I think it might be the best edited piece of work I HAVE EVER SEEN. It's mostly from Bert's POV, and, as you probably know, Bert spends quite a bit of time in Mary Poppins dancing. He's still dancing in this vid, my friends, EXCEPT HE'S DANCING TO DIFFERENT MUSIC. It is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.

At first I was all "Oh, cool! A Mary Poppins vid!" and by the end I was staring at my computer LIKE I WAS A CODFISH, because I was so very, very impressed.

In addition the perfection of the timing for the dance sequences, the vid also had wonderfully literal clip selection, which I am always a fan of. And very little in the way of talking heads.

UGH, I may never get my brain back inside my head.

Thank you for linking to this! :D I had skipped over it in my initial pass through the Festivids masterlist, and it is lovely. <3

The Star Wars vid is probably the other one with near perfect editing (of the ones I watched, anyway), but I have a soft spot for vids that use slowish songs and longish clips and are still REALLY REALLY AWESOME. :)
