The music and timing of this piece was impeccable. It added a definite comedic climatic atmosphere. It is fascinating to see how music can liven up a piece! The editing definitely added a lot of as well when there was an emphasis on things in the music, it was emphasized in the dance as well through repetition or speed. I just fully enjoyed watching this piece and seeing the expression on Kiki's face was priceless!
Yes, I agree with Ashley, the music supported the work and added this nice lively layer into the movement. I found some parts of it quite comical. The music and movement were edited well together and were purposeful in how they related to one another--the sound seemed to highlight the game and the intentional placement of the checker pieces.
Kudos on the editting here! The music choice along with the choreography (and edited speed/repetition) livened the work. Having the movements go completely to the music, even blatantly repeated or changed somehow to do so, made the piece about a sort of comedic precision to me (as opposed to the emphasis on connecting the two games). It's so great to see how the music/sound can completely change and enliven a video dance. This classical music choice seemed appropriate for game play and for the comedic rhythmic phrasing I experienced.
The music emphasizes the fun and playful quality of this piece which gives it a comedic and lively character. Matching the repetition of musical phrases with movement phrases was very skillfully done. Stepping on new squares and over opponents was also perfectly in synch with the downbeat of the music which gave the movement more power. Occasionally the music got faster while the movements became slower but this seemed purposeful and still made sense within the piece.
Heather, I think the music really added to this video. It helps in the real checkers and dancing checkers by providing a stronger link between the two different worlds. The repetitition of the different phrases cements the playful tone of the piece. Perfect music choice and excellent job editing it to go with the music!
Good use of classical music Heather! I really like the way you treat the soundtrack: naturally, smoothly and reasonably. The sound did improve quality of the dance.
I don't know why I always think of Charlie Chaplin's movie while watching this video ^^
