Vid Post - Dynamite

[damkianna]

So I said "soon", and this time I actually meant it. :D

Title: Dynamite
Fandom: Avatar: Legend of Korra
Song: Dynamite, by Taio Cruz
Length/Size: 3:23/30.3 MB
Content Notes: Korra, Asami, Lin. All of S1. Technically, mild violence - nothing more intense than what's in the show.
Summary: Light it up like it's dynamite.
Links: Streaming and download @ Vimeo | streaming @ AO3. Embed and lyrics under the cut. Vid password is: dynamite.

This was a blast to vid, pun halfway intended. There is a part of me that now wants to vid EVERYTHING to Taio Cruz.

I came to dance (dance-dance-dance).
I hit the floor, 'cause that's my plans (plans-plans-plans).
I'm wearing all my favorite brands (brands-brands-brands).
Give me some space for both my hands (hands-hands-hands).

'Cause it goes on and on and on,
and it goes on and on and on, yeah.

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
saying, "Hey-oh, got to let go."
I want to celebrate and live my life,
saying, "Hey-oh, got to let go."

'Cause we gon' rock this club, we gon' go all night;
we gon' light it up like it's dynamite.
'Cause I told you once, yeah, I told you twice,
we gon' light it up like it's dynamite.

I came to move (move-move-move).
Get out the way [of] me and my crew (crew-crew-crew).
I'm in the club, so I'm gonna do (do-do-do)
just what the fuck I came here to do (do-do-do).

'Cause it goes on and on and on,
and it goes on and on and on, yeah.

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
saying, "Hey-oh, got to let go."
I want to celebrate and live my life,
saying, "Hey-oh, got to let go."

'Cause we gon' rock this club, we gon' go all night;
we gon' light it up like it's dynamite.
'Cause I told you once, yeah, I told you twice,
we gon' light it up like it's dynamite.

I'm gonna take it all, I -
I'm gonna be the last one standing.
Higher over all, I -
I'm gonna be the last one landing.
'Cause I-I-I believe it,
and I-I-I, I just want it all
I just want it all.
I'm gonna put my hands in the air,
ha-ands in the air,
so put your hands in the air.

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
saying, "Hey-oh, got to let go."
I want to celebrate and live my life,
saying, "Hey-oh, got to let go."

'Cause we gon' rock this club, we gon' go all night;
we gon' light it up like it's dynamite.
'Cause I told you once, yeah, I told you twice,
we gon' light it up like it's dynamite.

:D This vid really makes me wanna go party with the krew (especially badass Lin) and all of the previous Avatar incarnations. Seeing Kyoshi tear up the dance floor with Aang would be amazing thing to behold, haha.

Nice work!

[damkianna]

Haha, that is a mental image I am really going to treasure. :D Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[adalger]

This is awesome. :)

[damkianna]

Thank you! Glad you liked it. :)

[adalger]

I'm curious, do you plan to remaster it when the season is out on DVD?

[damkianna]

Oh, yes, I would love to, as soon as I can get a hold of it - I wish I could have gotten only episodes without the annoying logos and stuff, but it was not to be. But yes, I would love to do a version without all that once the DVD's out!

[adalger]

I am soooooo looking forward to that!

[sholio]

Oh, that's so much fun! \o/

[damkianna]

Haha, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D

[opusculasedfera]

Yay! This was super fun and makes me want to cheer them on forever.

[damkianna]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. :)

[schneefink]

This is great! So much fun with all the amazing ladies.

[damkianna]

Thank you so much! It was so much fun to vid - I'm glad it was also fun to watch. :D

[kiezh]

Whee! I had so many problems with LoK that it's hard for me to find the squee, but you reminded me that there absolutely is some to be had. Gorgeous bending and joyful, fierce movement from three women who really can light it up like it's dynamite.

[damkianna]

I know what you mean - I was not in much of a squee place after the season finale, for sure. A large part of the motivation behind making this vid was me reminding myself that there was stuff I loved, too; I'm glad it managed to do the same thing for you! :)

[chaila]

Yay, this was awesome and tons of fun! Badassery! I especially loved the editing in the Asami parts, how you really tied in her non-bending technological asskicking.

[damkianna]

:D Thank you so much! Haha, it's possible you can tell I adore Asami - I've got so many clips of her now that I probably could have made the whole vid all her (and she certainly has enough awesome). ♥!

[amelia-petkova.livejournal.com]

This vid is so much fun to watch--I love the rhythm and the action and that it's over three solid minutes of the LoK women being awesome.

[damkianna]

Thanks so much! I'd listened to the song way too many times to not find something to vid it to, and the LoK women have so much awesome to give - I couldn't resist. :D

[emme]

This is AMAZING!

Super amounts of fun and I adore Lin and Korra probably the most, but it's ALL THE ASAMI BADASSERY that makes me cheer. The whole thing makes me alternately crack up and dance in my seat, but mostly just have a great time remembering the parts of Korra I liked best!

[damkianna]

Thank you so much! :D I love all three of them sooooo much, but I'll admit Asami makes my heart sing. ♥ Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much - thank you again!

[aris_tgd]

I really enjoyed this! Well done!

[damkianna]

\o/ Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
