Fanvid: "Happiness" [Astaire/Rogers Films]

[icepixie]

Fred and Ginger dancing make me happy. This song makes me happy. Put them together, and you have joy squared! I hope it makes you happy too.

Song: "Happiness," by The Weepies

I hope it makes you happy too.

It SO does. I'm grinning so hard that my cheeks hurt. Shall rec this anon.

Yay! I'm glad it made you happy! :D And thank you!

That was delightful - I am also grinning like mad! Who wouldn't?

Superbly put together and very happy making! Thank you!

This made me happy, too! Oh Fred and Ginger! ♥♥♥

And I'm really impressed with how you've made all that dancing fit so perfectly in rhythm with the song.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Thanks! That part was surprisingly easy, actually. Several instances fell right on the beat through sheerest luck, but the time signature for this song and most of their dances is the same, which helped a lot. It would've been a disaster if this song were a waltz. :)

Contents: just what it says on the tin. Your matching of sound and movement is *impeccable*, I am seriously impressed.

Thank you! I'm the kind of OCD detail-oriented person who edits down to the frame to get things to fall just on the beat I want, so it's good to know it's appreciated. Glad you liked it!

This vid is made of joy!

This is just wonderful, thank you! :D

Wow, that was impressive! Well done!

And yes, it totally made me happy. :)

Though I will admit wincing a bit when I saw all the twisting and dancing in high heels, but only because I twisted my ankle last week and attempting any one of those dance moves would probably send me to the hospital...again. Not that I would try anyway cause my idea of dancing involves shaking my butt and not moving much otherwise, but it's not like your brain is logical about these sort of things.

ANYWAY, nice work, Becca!

And yeah, having actually danced in shoes much like Ginger's, I gotta say, it sucketh mightily, and my respect for what she did in them is immense. Vive la jazz shoes, man.
