After the performance at pyeongchang, I can still hear the crowd roaring at 3:27. Like it was meant to be there and the sound of it is stuck to this performance.

[@OnIcePerspectives]

well That’s beautiful 😍 (also did you purposely name your account so all responses start with “well”?

[@ElPresidenteAndycito]

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I feel like the performance is somehow incomplete without it.

[@francesaprilrheavillanueva765]

YESS

[@JorWat25]

1:56 That lift is ridiculous. It barely looks physically possible.

[@icesk8mike]

They are gods this was not human

[@Salmaeljaiek]

To this day I still don’t know how she managed to do that...it was amazing!

[@zensamikinso7659]

Usually watch their feet but look at all the hand movements!! So detailed and precise!

[@OnIcePerspectives]

Robin O It’s the sign of a great skater when you can look past the blades to see all the movement and details above them! When you’re this good, the edges are the simplest part of what you do. (Plus I filmed this with the idea that TSN was only going to use my footage in their lifts to complement their other cameras during the live taped show, so hiding the empty seats was the reason I looked up so much!)

[@katiedeluise2345]

Can't understand the thumbs down , let them try and do what they have have done , then they can have the thumb haha .

[@bravestchicken3528]

It's their expressions that get me

[@green7apocalyptica]

The devil's in the details^^

[@nikkia4950]

I'll be watching this daily from now until the end of time tysm

[@OnIcePerspectives]

Hahaha thank you so much Nikki! I’m so glad you enjoy it. ☺️

[@iliatrain5359]

You should watch their Olympic version. They won gold for it. It’s even better and much more breathtaking!

[@ezgipak5783]

@@iliatrain5359 Definitely! They were more synchronized with music in the Olympic show.

[@pluto8822]

😱🔥

[@galacticjewels7856]

Literally HOW did they not fall in love after shit like this

[@anhpham6506]

Well, they are professional and great athletes/artists.

[@greca5903]

They do love each other I think. Just not that way. And that's okay

[@itblikedat]

They’ve always been best friends! I feel like they’re definitely soulmates but maybe not in a romantic way

[@user-mt8lb2wr7y]

They probably love each other in a Harry and Hermione way

[@96debora]

The way Scotty sings for Tessa, their emotion while performing, never fails to amazes me. I cry every single time. It's like I'm watching the movie.

[@LucianadeFarias]

i cry every single time.

[@bethaniie_]

Them singing along is me fr. This is BY FAR my favourite performance of all time. It's so stunning. Absolutely captivating, I will never get tired of Tessa and Scott 🥹

[@angelfish315]

This is ridiculously beautiful. I have seen the routine many times, both Olympic and show version, but never in this perspective. Capturing those emotions with the characters they are playing are beyond perfection. Thank you for this!

[@Lillith192]

I love how Scott is singing to Tessa for parts of the routine. They [say they] aren't dating, but everything about them is relationship goals

[@jamiemap7543]

2:26 you can see Scott mouthing the lyrics

[@agirl4677]

he is always doing that 😂

[@myahobbswunsche9806]

Karyne Duval ya if they were miced it would be sooo funny

[@lua_moura]

I've seen their performance at PyeongChang at least a thousand times but how did I never come across this video before? A completely new perspective, so intimate and emotional! I'm speachless, this is as close as it can get to perfection, wow ❤❤❤

[@Sandra-hy8lh]

Jordan, I know that perfection doesn't exist, but this is pretty close. I love the change of perspective, I love how close you are to Tessa&Scott while skating, I love the close-ups, I love all the emotions. Seeing Moulin Rouge through your eyes and through the so different angle from on the ice, it amazes me once again and on a completely different level. I could rant about it for hours. Really. Thank you so much for working with them. Thank you for this Masterpiece.

[@OnIcePerspectives]

__san dra517 Thank you! I’m so honoured to have done this project and get to share it with all of you. I can’t believe this was recorded over 3 months ago!

[@MichyPanicky]

They are magic. Not enough words to describe their beauty and class. Wonderful job as usual Jordan. Tomorrow is going to be so emotional.

[@OnIcePerspectives]

Michelle Looss I appreciate your words so much!

[@breannaleblanc7561]

am i the only one who is learning that the little skip that scott does at 3:14 is actually a step and he didnt stumble. I for sure thought he caught a toe pick when they did their olympic performance, but it was choreographed. shook.

[@HHSDaily]

Think of the performance as a story. He is desperate to catch her before she dies at the end. To get one more moment with her before she passes.

[@dreama7673]

This is more beautiful seeing them up close because you can see the DETAIL of their movements. I feel like I'm watching the movie!!

[@liagames6893]

They are such seasoned professionals it is just so apparent. They way that they slow down their skating and remove certain elements of their program in order to make way for the camera whilst simultaneously making it look effortless is just stunning.

[@SophieDydzakxx]

I love how you can see the details of Tessa's dress! It's so gorgeous ! Thank you so much for the upload!

[@OnIcePerspectives]

Sophie Dydzak my pleasure! Mathieu Caron, the dressmaker who designed her dress, would be pleased to know!

[@meriahcalvert5973]

3:27 is why they won gold in my heart!

[@Sunnyone942]

OMG this camera work for this performance is like looking at the most beautiful box of chocolates, I can’t decide which moment I like more. I have watched as many videos of this program as I could find and this is, IMO the most personal and intimate presentation captured. Even to hear the sound of the blades is amazing. I have also seen this show live with the best floor seats and I can say that watching this video is almost better. Seeing the live performance was spectacular but this is the best. Mic drop to you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@OnIcePerspectives]

Lori Foster thank you so much! It was an absolute dream to get to do this, and yes after all the time I spent watching with TTYCT I’m so glad I get to remember my experience this way!

[@katharinemarshall1629]

This really let’s you see the precision of this piece. The tap of blades to the beat. The swish of the ice. Ice dance is just that - dance. Amazing athletes and artists. This video of close up photography is amazing. Thank you.

[@alessiadottori573]

It's been more than a year since they showed us this program... And I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Thank you so much for this stunning piece💕

[@joyceresnick6346]

I appreciate the close ups of them it adds even more to their beauty and grace. I don't think anyone will ever come close to them

[@spammusubi1607]

God I will NEVER get over this duo. They truly know how to put on a show SO WELL. I’ll definitely miss seeing them compete

[@biyandaannisa9342]

I'm really sad that I just found out this video exists, but words can't describe how thankful I am that it does. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. Virtue/Moir is my favourite ice dancers in the world, and this amazing performance is the one I love the most. It's breathtaking, beautiful and out of this world. I watch the Pyeongchang video religiously or else I'll go insane (lol) especially because I will never get to see them perform in real life after their retirement announcement. Finding this video is like finding a treasure for me, but in 4K! Once again thank you so so so so much, Jordan! It's perfect. You're the hero we need, but don't deserve.

[@thisisntlindsey5869]

This routine is forever in my top 10, it’s so gorgeous

[@annelise.m806]

The way Scott lipsyncs "I love you" to Tessa at 3:14 gives me chills. I know they aren't dating but DAMN

Feels good to know that a lot of other people actually cry watching this 4 minute performance. I thought I’m too sensitive or too weird… love guys

[@christinehorror8178]

Wow these guys were amazing!! I hope they won something

[@emmanorlen5189]

Are you kidding, their quite famous Canadian Olympic Ice dancers. They won have 5 Olympic medals 3 of them golds medals and 7 worlds over their 21 years skating together, making them the most decorated Canadian ice dance team of all time and the most decorated Olympic figure skaters of all time. They are often considered to be the one of the best ice dance team of all time. Do people really not know them outside of Canada? They’re truly stunning and their career was amazing to follow

[@zeddy2284]

I hate ice skating cause it's so painful but I love this, what a story

[@Kokoro66]

Thank you for uploading!! I saw this performance hundreds of times, but it’s so refreshing from this much close up! again, they are just adorable and perfection!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you. And thanks T and S for so much enjoyment, well after retirement. Always my faves. A bit bias of course!!!

[@evagerman7090]

Absolute masterpiece 🔥 Thank you Jordan for sharing such beautiful moment with us!

[@adriancasem4649]

This is perfection. I’m crying 😭 ❤️

[@gabrielawentz5888]

Wow!! Thank you so much for this video!! usually with other videos we get to see the over all movements but with this video gives you a more intimate view of them, and the connection they have with each other. Just magical, loved every second of it. I wish you could do more videos like this with them.

[@TianaT4]

This is so fucking powerful, jeez. The only art that gives me goosebumps. Tessa is a one in a lifetime magic on that ice floor, the day she retired, ice skating lost a legend.

[@kromatic3610]

A sublime masterpiece. Bravo.

[@VWYL900802]

This camera work….shows more of Scott’s angle/perspective in the performance. In the Olympic version, and other competition versions, it’s hard to look at the program from Scott’s perspective as Christian, how Scott’s Christian is angry and is in control of Satine, and the more Satine looked perfect and catching attention to everyone, the more Christian is jealous of Satine in how she’s selling her body to the crowd. But when we switch to “Come What May”, the camera starts to go back and forth between Tessa and Scott like it’s a dialogue between two people, how Scott’s there for Tessa and Scott needs Tessa’s beauty to keep going and that they need each other to succeed, but in the end, this camera work gives such an interesting insight on Scott’s perspective on this piece. It’s interesting because most every other routine Tessa takes the spotlight and there’s balance because there’s romance involved, but this camera work sheds spotlight in the passion that Scott has with ice dancing…and not just he’s incredibly attracted to Tessa on the ice the whole time lol.

[@fatimabeirao4714]

From a technical perspective, Scott and Tessa were, as always, very perfect in their performance. However, in the present exhibition it seems that there is less connection and complicity between Scott and Tessa, just like we were used to seeing in the relationship between Scott and Tessa , a situation that could be justified by the following aspect. According to what was said, Scott and Tessa had a romantic relationship after the 2018 Olympics, but for some reason there was a disagreement between them, which led to their effective relationship ending around July 2018, which means that in October 2018 Scott and Tessa were already in a very recent period of their emotional separation. And perhaps that was the reason why in this performance they expressed less passion and less connection between them in their performance.

[@VWYL900802]

@@fatimabeirao4714 you watch too many promo/gossip columns on them (believe I’ve been there, there was a fanfic of their relationship online back in 2014, I know). Their whole thing, why they work has always been because they love each other but they can’t be together. Scott will always have to chase Tessa. It’s evident in Valse Triste, it’s evident in Umbrellas of Cherbourg. When they tried it out later in their career they knew it’s not gonna work because it jeopardizes their careers, because even after they retired, they still have to do Stars on Ice, or just about any exhibition things. They have tried when they were kids for a year because the whole town was hyping their relationship and that’s when they knew in order to succeed in ice dance, they have to give up their relationship in order to keep the spark alive. This performance has nothing to do with the breakup, it’s more to do with camera angles that did them so well because it’s about jealousy
