I have to admit that I was getting a bit concerned that there's been nary a peep about the year anniversary of SMYM. I know that it didn't perform as well as it could or should have (don't forget the Youtube count doesn't account for the views that debuting it at Yahoo garnered, Haley estimated it to be over 200K), but I thought if you put your entire effort into it, did it with all your heart, gained valuable experience through the process, then ultimately it was a good experience IMO. I was worried that maybe Haley wanted to put it behind her. It just didn't seem like Haley to have regret for anything she tried her best at.

Thankfully, Haley came out after a little over a week of Social Media silence (her Chicago friends were in town), spent over half an hour and replied/retweeted including several tweets about SMYM

Then Casey tweeted, Instagrammed this morning re: SMYM

In looking for interviews from just after Listen Up! came out, I came across this article from 2012.... seeds for the idea of the "Show Me Your Moves" video?

Is it me or is this a sharper, more hi Def video?

Youtube:

His vimeo video looks more lush, better resolution?

The objects in the YT version are slightly enlarged. The lighting looks brighter too, but I'm not sure if that is a separate effect or a side effect of the enlargement. The overall effect is less sharp.

Maybe they did that for technical reasons -- to compensate for some YT shortcoming compared to VEVO -- or perhaps he's refined his craft more since then.

It feels like the shadows are more finessed, objects have more depth, dimension and he seems to have filtered the colours to give them a 'something' that makes it look better....

It was posted 3 months ago, looks to be a portfolio piece so it's likely he tweeked it more than the original. I remember meeting him, nice guy, had a huge camera slung over his shoulder.

I was thinking it's possible that Vimeo, being a subscription service, probably has better processing for uploaded content. Alot of creators prefer Vimeo for it's quality and content control that you don't have on Youtube

He uploaded it to Youtube

Yup, he definitely worked on his promo piece...it's very slight but you can see he brought up the reds and blues, there's slightly better resolution in the shadows

You can see the colours are slightly richer

So excite for this movie! Made my own trailer using the song "Show me your moves" by Haley Reinhart.
And oh my gosh Loki is back, ready to slay with those knives!

DanniG the director for the SMYM has his hands in a lot of stuff, has started an Instagram account for his photography, just posted a photo from around the time of the video....

The hair in that shot and the pool shot have shades of the cover artwork for "Better." She might have been exploring how it might look then.
