Comment

We didn't expect to win this contest! We filmed the danse part with a proper mirrorless camera, but the whole introduction was filmed with a phone as we didn't have the camera anymore. To make the sound of the introduction more bearable, we also did our best to use foley sounds. We truly put our whole energy into creating everything ourselves, from the choreography to the music, and we are glad and grateful that the judges liked our work!
