Brilliant! I love the silent film treatment! It looks amazing! Given the period of the costumes for this film, the clips work extremely well in silent film mode. And, as usual, you did a wonderful job of matching clips to song lyrics. I really like the way you did the credits at the end. It made this vid seem even more like a silent film.

Thanks, Rusty! This was my first attempt at making a 'silent film' style vid. Because I was using a modern-sounding pop song, I also took some liberties with the style and used some visual effects that would not be authentic for a silent film. But, I'd like to try making some other vids in future that adhere even more strictly to the 'silent' aesthetic.
