Phoenixa Dances to Faith Tears by UltraViolet Uforia in Secondlife

Oh I've sooo loved this song since I heard the first few notes of it. It was created by my friend Steve Webb's band UltraViolet Uforia. Lyrics by Matt Hargett and the music by Matt and Michael Canary. Steve is very talented, creative and a very dear friend of mine online. Thank you so much Steve and UltraViolet Uforia for allowing me to dance to this awesome song, as well as to anything you've created! I remain a life long fan! Keep the rock a rollin'!!

I am grateful to Tuna Oddfellow from secondlife for the stunning background I dance in. Tuna creates these everchanging art performances as the OddBall in secondlife. He also had no idea what music I was dancing to as I shot this dance. I was downright floored when I watched this footage after I filmed it, and saw all the symbolic confluences between the evolving art, the hypnotic vocals and my choice of dance moves. How the universe rolled this into one wonderful performance! Thank you Tuna, now you finally get to see this too!

In a superb state of uber creativity, I found the best way to dance to this marvelous piece I've loved for so long, in this fantastic color environment was to do so in slow motion. Nothing is wrong with your machine, no adjustment is necessary, I'm just performing in a dream state. Thank you for checking out my video and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did in creating it!

@fuzonacid well, that's certainly one way to do it, however the whole point of what I do is dance.  While I'm not exactly vaulting myself across the floor physically, what I do here in SL fools my body into thinking it is, and in the same way that dance exhilarated me... so does this. This wasn't about making the most spotless dance video, this is about using my avatar the same way I used my body back in the day... to express the music through my movements.

Is it a better option to just cycle through your dances and film each one then just edit to the music later? That's what I do if it's not a "live" performance. Tuna's art is brilliant as I have seen it first hand. Quite amazing. Also you could crop out your HUD and viewer interface in editing too. Usually I hide it then renable t when I need to use the Huds etc. So I film in takes but they are still live. Filming for an hour to make a 5 min vid.
