In the spirit of Vimeo member Remyyy and all those who edit videos out of old footage and put them to new music is my submission "Variety Girls".

Basically an edit of "Burlesque" dancer stag films from the 30's to the early 60's. Really quite fun to edit such a video with footage that at one time may have been considered "scandalous" and is now soooo mild by today's standards. I also think their dancing looks better to this music than the original.

Anyways... I hope you'll watch and enjoy it.

So, sit back, relax and let the girls entertain you. ;-)

Music is "Nothing, Oh Nothing" by Satisfaction

awesome.

Jeremy,

Thanks! This was actually some of the most fun I've had on one of my projects. So much fun I needed to stay up till 2am to post it...I couldn't wait to get it on the site!

Utterly wonderful! One of the best 're-uses' I've seen. Most amazingly, at the moment I have a few of their colleagues 'on the cutting room floor'…
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Thanks Baywhale...
Maybe its time for their colleagues to join them on Vimeo. :-)

Great, this must be a lot of work to make it fit with the music.
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Steph, you'd be amazed at how many times you could lay in a section of the footage and slide it around to find a part that would match. Plus since the films are so short it's easy to review over and over to find sequences to cut into and synch up. I'm sure it could always be better--check out Remyyy's videos on this site--his are AWESOME! I really enjoy doing these types of video edits!

Great job! A few years ago, the Shim-Sham club in New Orleans used to put on burlesque shows similar to these. Sadly, the club has been closed for a couple of years...
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Tallulah, thanks! That's too bad, sounds like that place was a kick! Great name for that place too.
