Also premiering vid Hold on Tight

[gwyn]

Here's the other premiering vid from Vividcon. I have wanted to vid Ratatouille since I first saw it, but I could never find a song for it. One day last winter I was driving along and Hold on Tight came on the radio, and I was all, "That's it! That's the song!" Which was also, unfortunately, not long before Charmax's wonderful Wall*E vid came out, also to an Electric Light Orchestra song, Mr. Blue Sky, and Talitha's lovely Up vid for Fireflies came out. The last thing I wanted to do was make a vid that seemed like I was ripping off two people whose talents I greatly admire, so I sat on it. And sat on it. Then the VVC crap started flying, and I felt like the only thing I could motivate myself to do within the timeframe was something sweet, simple, and that would make me feel happy.

Now if I could just find the right song for the Incredibles, Iron Giant, and Lilo and Stitch vids I would love to someday make. ;-)

Charming! The song works perfectly with the spirit of the film (and the French is, of course, a nice bonus *g*).

So cute, perfect for this movie!

Awwww! That was perfect, yay!

(I did get 'file not found' when I tried to download it from your site - not sure if that was just a glitch or not.)

ELO and Pixar/Disney just sit so perfectly together I'm glad you were not put off from finishing it! It's a really sweet vid and joyfully uplifting.

I loved this vid so much! I've never been able to get through the movie itself, but the vid was completely adorable. We were walking to dinner talking about it. So cute. :D

Yay! This is beyond adorable. Dave and I love the song choice. But I wanted to let you know that I had to watch it streaming, because the download link isn't working.

YAYY, that was completely adorable <3 <3

So I...kind of hate ELO. And that I was able to largely ignore that and enjoy the vid is, hopefully recognizable as a big compliment to the fantastic editing and your ability to make the upbeat tempo and mood really work.

This is also the first vid for non-anime animation I've come across. That's a pleasant surprise right there.

This was so adorable! I haven't seen the movie but by the end of it I was so touched by the little rat! :D

Oh, this is ADORABLE. I really love this movie and this vid captures so much of it's essence perfectly. :D
