It is so heartwarming seeing teenagers dance like this. I feel like too many teens don't have enough happy moments in their life and are too embarassed to be apart of something like this, but it's so refreshing seeing them just let go. Amazing work!

[@oceanwolfie3582]

My class is would be thrilled to do something like this video

[@squapat]

Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

[@shravangubbi5670]

These kids are going to remember their high school for a long time

[@johnnyheath2490]

I'm crying at all these Another Day of Sun projects 😭 Everything is so wholesome and awesome 😭😍

[@donnakurtz9293]

yes... I was looking for a specific La La Land movie clip and this came up without me kowing what exactly it was. When it hit me is was a school putting on the performance from the movie it just pushed me over the edge. What stood out was the joy and talent and happiness of a school experience in producing something like this. My son just finished High School this past year and I can tell you that these last years in Pandemic learning remotely and all the isolation... made the longing for the old times so intense. Sad for the kids now.

[@ornellaschio7261]

@@donnakurtz9293 I agree with you. Kids, young people and old people generally, have paid the highest price to this pandemia😩

The HS students are amazing! Wonderful production! But, bravo to the HS teachers who organized all this. We too conveniently forget all that they do.

U right sis..same here✌️💞

[@sailorfini]

From the thumbnail I though this was just going to be one of those performances that only happens in the gym, but this was so much better than I could ever expect! Amazing job everyone! :)

[@owensuperbot232]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@juliettegorsira4754]

omg this is so freaking good, not only the performances of these talented students but also the incredible job the director has done. I will never get over how good this is omg

[@artbygiselle]

I definitely did NOT expect the cinematic to be this good

[@evernessfilms]

This made me cry. Please never give up on your film dreams.

[@onlyheec]

This is the best another day of sun cover I've ever seen 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@imjayhime]

Didn’t expect to tear up. I wish I had high school experiences like this. You all killed it!

[@bigbenchrob]

Crying at the joyful dancing by kids at my daughter’s old high school, as well as the insanely skillful videography. Just wonderful. Now every time someone my age bemoans the “slackers” in this generation I’m going to sit them down to watch this. Congratulations Handsworth!

[@erineclair3446]

man watching this and seeing the year- wow it was before covid hit. this must have been these teens' proudest moment before online classes became a thing. its so good even the camera work! well done!

[@almasmahir2091]

Oh my god! Down mind got uplifted!!

[@gloriagavagnin2115]

OK THAT IS ART.

[@RajPawar-fd3hx]

It's a really great video with great editing skills and camera work...... And kudos to the director who gave all his effort to make this video more special and of course all the dancers are also really awesome ^_^

[@bigbenchrob]

I’m suspecting that the person behind this is a her, specifically the woman at the end who signals “voilà” before running out of the frame. I could be wrong.

[@akaginao]

たくさんの人が心を合わせるシーンって、愉快なだけでなく感動的だ。

[@Filipeszz]

Perfect transitions

[@somelikeitjosh]

This is absolutely awesome and very well done! As someone who studied film and especially loves La La Land, it's really nice to see how you paid homage for the artistic style of the movie and at the same time implemented your own choices. Incredible!

Kudos to the direction of photography. Great sequence plans, cuts are hidden, and the camera is very well choreographed.

[@jenniferboccuzzio3254]

So nice to see all these young people interested in the Arts & musicals. The girl playing the lead singer was excellent. Triple threat obviously! Never stop young lady!!! 🎭 💙

[@bendoukatarik6420]

YES....beacause its the world of LALALOVELAND ...every one dance and enjoy that unique day....thanks.

It was heartwarming to see so many young people enjoying the moment!

[@kaiwu2898]

🎉amazing I got to show this to my 3 year old toddler girl. I believe my daughter will dance with this video for whole hour.

[@jamesa.rodriguez4635]

How is it that this video is more uplifting and smile-inducing than the opening scene in La La Land? Bravo--such a fantastic video!

[@annebrowning8683]

This is wonderful! So amazing to see an ordinary school context setting come to life with this beautiful roving scene of song and dance. So clever! Congrats!

[@paddywarner4452]

Wow 😮. 24/10.The amount of rehearsals and auditioning they would’ve had to have done hats off to whoever’s idea this was and whoever organised everything. Boy did we go to the wrong school. I mean this is the real life high school musical and like the high school from heaven

[@maareentak]

This will never work in Europe but thanks for the joy you gave me.

[@tarishamazaya4645]

on the intro i felt like i’ve been watching 12 dancing princess. this is so good!!

[@hedgehogcoasters7239]

This is high school musical, but more realistic. Sure parts were choppy and not everyone was in sync, but thats what makes it real. 12/10

[@user-wi8mf9fr7x]

Thanks, Handsworth. I was totally knocked out with joy. That was totally awesome , and powerful performance. Every one's shining in that movie.

[@jathandonthamsetti4704]

This is something that I really adore, and respect, but at the same time if my school did this I probably would call it lame. Also I want to point out that this whole thing was one camera shot, so you have to appreciate it!!!

[@iwrsiya]

actually i dont think it was, rather it was edited to be, because there are some scenes where the location shift was pretty obvious. this just makes their work even more commendable for being able to make all the transitions so seamless. absolutely wonderful.

[@The_Farwall]

Ended up in tears watching this, absolutely joyful performance of a song I already loved. Thanks guys!

[@muhammadsamiokhan8908]

What a treat for your students. Huzzah for you, supporting freedom of dance and expression. How uplifting that time truly was. And thank you from me, one of the many in the audience online, for the effervescent expressions of joy. What a great memory for them, and for us, here. I'm so proud of you for bringing this to online eternity.

[@neoshenlong]

I directed a short adaptation of Matilda last year with over 80 high school and middle school kids. I know how ridiculously hard it is to get them to sincronize and work together even for 5 minutes. The size of this production is incredible and is proof of amazing work and dedication from the students and their directors.

[@mousa6411]

I LOVE this. I want to cry because of happiness. Thanks XOXOXOXOXOX

[@Chris-sv1yt]

J'ai vu ce film en 2021. Magnifique ! Et la musique du générique du début est un véritable morceau de bravoure... Mais cette version exécutée brillamment par ces Lycéens et Lycéennes est proprement époustouflante. Bravo ! Bravo ! Bravo ! Christian, Lyon, France. October 14th 2022.

[@TundraOffRoad]

What a happy accident to find this absolutely amazing work!

[@rice_frying_shrimp]

I am beyond impressed by the work the camera operator did in this... Moving through a choreographed group like that is difficult to begin with, but to also capture everything in the process is genuinely super impressive. Underrated aspect of the production! Everyone else also did a spectacular job though.

I don't know why but this is the first thing that made me peaceful today
