Butoh-Ritual Dance

Really nice job. Well edited and put together.
Lighting is a bit hot on the interview but excellent on the dance and other B-Roll. In the same respect if you were going for the light/dark effect on the face, the lighting should have been down on both sides. The story is so strong, it's easy to overlook the technical, which is the only thing that sets this apart from a Broadcast shoot. Kudos!!!! GL! Keepem' Coming!!!

I'm going to tell my Portland friends to check out this pod. My latest pod takes an artitistic look at being scared of strangers Momma, I'm Scared

I am so jazzed to see an artist such as Mizu here in Portland. She is inspiring, articulate and approachable.
The video is good at showing all the different elements in a short time.

mind opening. i wonder if this is best experienced after smoking on some of that nw chronic.

I am always eager to learn about different kinds of art form and expression. Thanks for contributing to that. This piece is very informative, and was put together very professionally. Great use of the production values. GL from me.

When you get a chance, please take a look at my art related pod BIG BUGS , and let me know what you think about this reverse perspective on the world. I would love to get your critique on it. Thanks!

well produced and great subject. bigups to portland art scene and monkey puzzle

Leaves me wanting to see the actual performances.

Some amazing imagery and fitting soundtrack! It's great seeing the contrast between her onstage persona's and her interviewed self. Kept me intrigued throughout,

Definitely out of the ordinary. Good interview and well shot. But what hooked me was the music. Really cool sound.

GL from me.

Please take a moment to check out my latest POD, BIG MEDIA fails again and feel free to give it a GL if you like it.

Thanks.

Give that man in the bowler a job!

I'm a believer in exploring and using art as your expression. Dance and movement is an incredible source to fully feel what living is about. Butoh is interesting in that it is a mix of history, art and movement filled with emotion and feeling. I enjoyed the film. Great shots, good interview and wonderful music. Thank you Dale for creating a great piece. Keep it up.

She is a powerful expression of the beauty in shadows. I love the way you capture her versatile angles in dance and art. I want to hear more about what her personal journey looked like to bring her into butoh. Beautiful segment.

This is amazing. I've never seen anything like it. I'm shocked this pod isn't higher. It's shot & edited really well and the music fits perfectly. She is awesome. GL!

Beeautiful. Nice perspective on this dance and the history behind it, good job you've come a long way : )

Outstanding piece. Here's another producer with a style that's potential winner. Would like to see more from you.

I was hooked. The pod moves effortlessly. Very beautiful. thanks for the comment ! I think your pod really helped me to think about what it takes to break out of a violence cycle. That will help me in my approaches to other issues.

Great piece!! Very colorful and full of movement. I loved the lighting and the use of the "edges!" Kudos!!

I can't get the bastard Greenlight button to work. And not just on this video either. I click once - nothing happens. I doubleclick. Ditto. I'll come back and try again.

love daflew!

love daflew!

More, more, more! It's good to look at us at distance so that we can appreciate the talents, expressions, and visions that all our Portland/West Coast crew contains.

Beautiful, eloquent, insightful, intelligent, inspirational,...
It is amazing to see a series of Mizu's works in tandem, as the video wonderfully portrays the power of vision and movement that Mizu is endeavoring to create with her performances.
Thank you for making this happen!

where did it go =(

nice effects

Bugger - "video not available". I really want to see this now.

awesome video!!

Keep up the good work!

DONUT freak out! : ) i uploaded a higher resolution version of the video...it should reappear soon...
Thanks for all the support and kind words. The lighting was a little off and the sound was low, but the content is compelling enough without production perfection I hope... thanks again!

You really made the grade Daflew, this video is hip. Artistic, modern, and great editing. You get my vote.

enjoyed the story and the movement behind it. footage captured something more than just the dancer.....

Dude you rock! This is amazing.

this was one of the most "normal" things I have seen, excluding surviving Bush supporters

Gl, you did a great job introducing this performance style. I am a big fan of Butoh. It would have been nice to see mention of some of the founders ( kazuo Ohno, etc.) but still great job.

If you get a moment please check out our latest pod on electric cars: link

beautiful work.

wow! very surreal! I like cross-cultural creations!

Mizu is a wonderful character - the very best of the best.
Her Portland dayfestival in July, Water in the Desert, is sure to be winner. Watch for it...

Wonderful video. I learned a lot and enjoyed the beautiful dances.

I found it to be informative. Thank you.

Fine work. I must see more by you.

I think you did an outstanding job. I believe that you have passed on an art that is indisposable.
