That's...the best holiday present I've had this year! Thank you.

[icepixie]

Awww, thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)

They were grace personified, even if Rita Hayworth WAS his favorite partner.

[icepixie]

I just love them. Wish my own dancing was even a tenth as expressive.

Beautiful! I'd been listening to this song a lot the last couple days and thinking that it would make a lovely vid and here--vid! :)

[icepixie]

Hehehe! Yeah, I started vidding this, um, the same afternoon I bought the track. I think I'd only listened to it a couple times before this vid bunny came up and demanded to be made. I just love how much this song--and Hem's music in general--evokes the standards of the early twentieth century, and pairing it with this source seemed so perfect. I'm glad you liked the vid! :)

Oh, that is exquisite and lovely. Thank you.

[icepixie]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks! :)

I wish I'd had time to watch this earlier. ♥ This is amazing. I have to watch this at least 8 more times before I go to bed, now. You're making amazing progress as a vidder. I'm loving the punctuation of their arms and feet at 1:06, the clip at 1:17 is brilliant, o:45 is just delightful, and the way I could actually picture someone doing this entire routine strung together is beautiful. In short: wow. ♥♥♥♥♥♥

(P.S. - I got your card in the mail. Thank you! There's a little something on its way to you, now!)

[icepixie]

Awww, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and OMG yay feedback with timecodes! :D I was so proud of myself when I figured out what to do at 1:17 (it took a while), I cannot even tell you. ;)

Oh, good! I've never sent something to Spain before; I was wondering how long it would take. And I look forward to your card! :)

This is fantastic. It put a huge smile on my face.

[icepixie]

It put a huge smile on my face.

Exactly what I was after. Thank you, and thanks also for the rec! :D

That was so delightful! I always think that it must be so difficult to vid people dancing from various sources to a different song--this makes it look so seamless and effortless (which I am sure it was not!). Thank you for sharing!

[icepixie]

Thank you! I'm really glad this looks seamless and effortless to you. Vidding their dances is actually not as difficult as it might seem at first glance; lucky for me, they vary a lot in tempo and always have some interesting movement going on at all times. :)

What a beautiful video. The song matched the subjects gorgeously. I'm a huge Fred and Ginger fan, so this was a lovely surprise to find.

[icepixie]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I just love this song, and I was so happy to find a suitable subject for a vid using it.

[shadowhuntress.livejournal.com]

How beautiful! The song is so light and airy, just like Fred & Ginger's dancing! Loved this!

[icepixie]

Thank you! I'm really pleased by how well the song suits them as well. :)
