Sergei Polunin // FADED (Alan Walker / Maestro Chives)

Dancer Sergei Polunin (Сергей Полунин) and Maestro Chives in a music video/montage set to Chives' violin cover of Alan Walker's "Faded".
“It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from.” ― C.S. Lewis
Source Videos: Maestro Chives' "Faded". Vuk Vidor's "Awakening" Serbian National Museum opening advertisement. "Bolero" Merk Multiple Sclerosis awareness dance. (Choreography by Ross Freddie-Ray).
I made a similar video montage when I first began editing music videos/montages last year (2020). I was dissatisfied with how it turned out, so, after a year of learning how to better navigate and use the editing program I use (Final Cut Pro), I wanted to revisit combining this song and Sergei's beautiful dancing.

To @ India Ink - - I reckon that - - this cover version by renowned violinist Maestro Chives - - of the Alan Walker's song "Faded" is exquisitely beautiful❗The music - - it is so passionate - - it hits heart - - soul - - and mind ❗And oh - - how the famed Polunin - - he abandons himself to it - - to the fleeting moments of life❗Perhaps in a way that suggests - - he can never experience these moments again❗Sergei - - we're right there with you❗To @ I I thank you for posting. We admire your quite impressive - - Music Video-Montage and film editing technique❗

So kind of you to say! Thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed. I agree with you about the song- I’ve heard few pieces so breathtaking, so achingly beautiful. (Which was why I wanted to try to do it better justice now I know a little more about video editing than I did with my first try...) So glad a few others were patient enough to watch this second attempt and that you enjoyed it. 🥰

Sergei ti pone sotto il suo incantesimo e una volta catturata non vorresti liberarti più. Vuoi restare lì con lui, a contemplare la sua arte sublime, ancora e ancora e ancora... Un corpo che vibra e supera i confini dello spazio, dando forma fisica alla musica meravigliosa e decisa del violino: meraviglioso!🌹🌹🌹Grazie mille!🌺🌼🌺

Spotlights first reach the heart triggering the sensual soul song. Ancient tribal melody inspires the movement from within.There is an abundance of beauty in Sergei's art forms of original dance. C'est magnifique et si géniale la danse des amoureux.
