i met Lake Sharp and her dance troupe bodycity almost a year ago through Vimeo. we talked about a collaboration for a while until we finally did it three months ago. what you see here is the efforts of many kids coming together on one creative effort. since shooting this we've become friends with the girls and this video shows the beginning of our friendship.

thanks to Jason Dunn for helping us with the title shot.

    why can't we all just go about our days moving around like this down the street? i think everyone would be happier.

    loved the intro, with the silence and nothing but birds chirping. it really complimented the slow motion dance they did all the way across and costumes they wore (hats & bird's nest). i saw lots of dreamy shots. i wanna lay in a bed of grass and start whistling or something. nice flow of scenes. nice dance moves too.

    high five.

    Nice work. The path sequence(s) was/were my favorite. That and everyone laying down together.

    Very nice, Erick. First off, so cool that vimeo brought all these dope people together, and so great that you all went through with it. Secondly big ups on widdling down 45 mins of raw footage into a nice little representation of a really fun and meaningful time together. I esp like the transitions and dissolves around 1:45. Worth the wait.

    Also, is there a longer version? I was just talking to M Cook about how the internet video gods seem to make people feel forced to keep things tight and short. With all this gorgeous footage, the scenery, the greenery, and the graceful movements of these wonderfully endearing dancers, you can take your time and we'd all still be watching ten minutes into it...
  • Erick C. 1 year ago
    yeah! a 7 minute version is coming featuring lots more of their moves! :)
  • Mike Fischer plus 1 year ago
    I'm very excited about this.

    I loved their wear of white that sometimes frilled and other times had soft edges...they looked like the galloping girls from the great ages of the sea. There was refreshment experienced watching their freeness of touch and fold, their play and the texture of their props. I felt great admiration for the abilities of the human body and girls in general. It made me greatly miss eloping with motion!
