OMFG! I feel like smart people already said everything, but YES. I too appreciated how you used talkyface – it was thematically strong and you edited it in a way that wasn't distracting. There are a lot of really effective rhythm and motion choices beyond that too. It must be pretty static footage, but you wove in the weird angle courtroom shots and moving camera in ways that kept it visually dynamic. The handshake on the beat stood out to me. And of course Sarah Paulson's faaaaaaaaace! There's so much story and social commentary in her face.

ALLLLL the vids about powerful complicated female public figures working within sexist institutions should be made to this song! Now I want a Hillary vid, sorry not sorry.

OMG, I never got notified about this comment! AHHHH!

Thank you! Marcia deserved a good vid! And I'm glad the rhythm worked b/c so much of this vid seemed to be throwing clips on the timeline and rearranging it until things happened on the DAMN BEAT. Those were the rules - on the beat and there had to be some motion in the clips. SARAH PAULSON'S FACE ALLOWED THIS VID TO BE MADE. And I thank her from the bottom of my heart to allow me to make a Marcia Clark vid because I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

When the inevitable Hillary biopic is made, I'm sure either chaila or I will make the Damned If She Do vid for it. :D
