Greatness ! Excellence ! Bravo !

I hope you get the idea that I rather like this video. I do.

Just one minor nitpick - some of the memes go by just a little too fast to read in the time allotted.

In another post you mentioned a need for the right piece of music for your next video. Two suggestions - for a meme video “Do you hear the people sing” from Le Miz and to celebrate a RedWave victory “Alexander’s Entry into Pskov” from Prokofiev’s “Alexander Nevsky” This is an excellent performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Du9TXBVlM&t=2063s although my favorite version is from Telarc - an impeccable recording with full church bells (which one almost never finds on other recordings).

I’m really pleased that you like it.

Yes, the memes go fast and I wish I could have found some brilliant memes, in good taste and not mean, that had fewer words. But edit points come where they come, and you fill the space between. There is no option to make the timing just a little longer. You usually have to double your space to the next rhythm point, or find an image that takes less time to read. I, personally, couldn’t have tolerated a slow moving video. Joy, as I feel about Trump and our movement, isn’t slow and lugubrious. It’s fast and yelling all the way. So if slow wasn’t an option, then it was finding memes with almost no words. And that would have lost so many great ones and, actually, there aren’t all that many ones with minimal words. So I figure that, as I do, people watch once with pauses for comprehension, remember, and watch subsequent times for pleasure.

I used to be able to hold an entire television series in my head as I made videos, so I didn’t have to look at lists to know where my edit sources would come from. Three seasons of Star Trek or four seasons of Starsky and Hutch. That’s why I’d stay in one fandom as I worked until I worked myself out of it. Then, I’d memorize another entirely new set of TV seasons and forget the last show. Have to admit that my memory isn’t as good as it was 30 years ago, but I can still handle one short video.

Thanks for the link, but it reminds me of how it was used in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising.

Incidentally, who gave the performance in your link? They all look Chinese to me, not Russian. Was it a fellow Commie goodwill tour?
