Oh, this is delightful! The flow and musicality of it is wonderful, I enjoyed it so much! Downloading to keep! :D

Do you happen to have a Tumblr link for it? I'd love to reblog it there as well, I know several of my people there who'd love to see it! :D ♥♥♥

Ooh, this is gorgeous! I love the shifts in intensity to match the music. <3

[icepixie]

Thanks! I enjoyed playing with the dynamics of the song.

[icepixie]

Thanks! :)

You just reminded me I actually have a Tumblr, so I posted it there too. (Hope the link works; I don't really understand Tumblr.)

[aislynn]

Yay, thank you so much! *reblogs* ;) And yep, your link worked perfectly! :D I hear you about not understanding Tumblr; I honestly used to think that I was never going to "get it," and it took ages before I began to get even remotely comfortable doing anything there. :S

Thanks so much again! ♥

Ooh, love this, beautifully done. Not a song I'd ever have thought of for them, but really like what you've done with it. I adore all your Fred & Ginger vids, you always manage to sort of capture their essence if that makes sense!

[icepixie]

Thanks! It's not really a song that screams Fred&Ginger to me either, but this was more of a, "I want to vid this song, what can I use for it?" sort of deal. :)

I adore all your Fred & Ginger vids, you always manage to sort of capture their essence if that makes sense!

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Eeee! I was a little unsure about the song choice going in, but you completely won me over (very quickly). I especially love the flow of the first chorus, and then the way the steps emphasize "no cheap thrill" around 1:28.

[icepixie]

Yeah, I wasn't originally sure about the song choice either, but I really wanted to vid something dance-related to it, and I had these already ripped and in iMovie, so I just started playing around.

Thanks! :)

this is a sweet video (I though I comment on this already maybe on some other side?),
can i asks what movies are in the vid? I have only seen Swing Time with this two so far
thanks for making and sharing this

[icepixie]

Thank you! I used all of the movies Fred and Ginger were in together in this vid: Flying Down to Rio, The Gay Divorcee, Roberta, Top Hat, Follow the Fleet, Swing Time, Shall We Dance, Carefree, The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle, and The Barkleys of Broadway.
