Grandma and Grandpa Go Uptown Funk to the Movies

[Rollo]

This is really pretty incredible. The editing and synch of the action to the music is perfect. Who knew these old folks could cut a funk rug?

I’m not sure what’s my favorite part, Fred Astaire rocking it, Gene Kelly...my dancing idol, in so many amazing clips..I’m just at a loss! To whoever made this clip, hats off!!!! Love it!!!

Here's an excerpt:

My inspiration came from What's the Mashup? but I didn't manage 100! The idea was to do the same for movies from the Golden Age – meaning no title later than 1953 (although there is one at the end.) Oh, and none of these clips was sped up or slowed down.

And here's the original "What's the Mashup?" video:

5. I think it all works mostly because the song and the dancing are all to 2/4 or 4/4 meter...

...or march or walking rhythm ... a very popular way to have whole groups of people dancing in unison on screen... there is a beauty to just the way people walk... that funky uptown walk ... lol ...

Of course very skillful film/video editing didn't hurt ...

8. I think you hit the nail on the head

The meter and the selected scenes definitely fit the song perfectly! Loved the “genxers” version you shared as well!! That was awesome!
