    W.O.W. One of the most creative clips I've seen on Vimeo to date! I love fireworks, but this makes them 100,000,000x cooler! I can't think of a single favorite frame, they were all so unique and totally epic! My fave on Vimeo right now.
  • Jon Thomas 1 year ago
    Wow, I am floored! That is too kind of you, Kyle.

    I am honored to hold to the title of your current Vimeo fave.
  • Kyle Hance 1 year ago
    It's inspired me. Put me in a creative mood.... I'm not sure what will spring out of this. We'll see!
  • Jon Thomas 1 year ago
    Awesome! I am looking forward to seeing the result! Please post it!!!
