the greatest show | our flag means death

[@vickysharman-finlayson4503]

Lining up “Everything you’ll ever want, everything you’ll ever need, and it’s here right in front of you” with the three couples is just perfection.

[@Caligrace2020]

The couples sequences made me scream I love this show so damn much

[@trcolavi]

How am I just seeing this video now. The couples section was the best part of this amazing video

[@janeh9962]

this is such a small detail, but you balanced the song audio with the show audio just perfectly - you had the sounds of hits and swords that matched the music, but managed to avoid the soundtrack of the show interfering AND didn't overpower the music. really excellently done

[@finchythepirate]

This is INCREDIBLE and gives me so much serotonin !!! Also, thanks to the editing at 2:15 , I just realized that the whole "Stede slaps his opponent's ass with his sword thinking it's a classic fencing move, but actually that was just Ed trying to flirt while they were sparring" thing I saw across the fandom is very much canon and it makes me very happy

[@theautisticever]

ed and stede gazing at each other during "everything you want is right in front of you" 😭😭😭 that got me

[@cammaxwell]

This is EVERYTHING! I have to say, The Swede at 3:23 was especially breathtaking🤣. Fantastic editing and a phenomenal tribute. Thank you for this! 💙

[@kohakublubb]

WOW!! This is the greatest MV! The editing is top notch! How you matched up not only the songs rhythm to beats from the show but also the lyrics to scenes - absolutely fantastic job! And omg the Swede belting the line at 3:23 had me laughing out loud!😂

[@specialj67]

The “Roach failing at yardies” and “Roach throwing a sammich at Izzy” moments are IMMACULATE.

[@diebooth]

This is an absolute masterpiece, thank you so much for it. The juxtaposition of the first 'we talk it through...' and the second one where they all belt out 'as a crew' nearly made me cry. And the closing shot. Just, everything. I'll rewatch this when I'm sad.

[@diebooth]

I have indeed been rewatching this when I'm sad, and it does indeed work. Thank you for creating it

[@lamardeuse3928]

Oh my GOD this is perfection! Love the way you've captured so many great moments and edited them with such precision. MY HEART IS FULL. ❤

[@catharticdaydream]

PLEASE THE SWEDE SINGING AT 3:24 HAD ME DEAD

[@TvMovieSparks88]

Two words for you “freaking genius “

[@Mirien3]

Thank you so much :)!

[@natasharunyouoff3102]

Everything about this is my favorite part. The timing on the title cards leading up to the curtain parting is just *chef kiss*. The bits from the dinner scene leading up to the first chorus. Different “runaways running the night” each time. Visible queer relationships “it’s everything you ever want” THE SWEDE!! As I’m rewatching new bits keep jumping out at me. It’s all amazing.

[@appleteeth2915]

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this. It makes me tear up every time. They're right, this is the greatest show 🥲

[@kadie194]

The amount of work that obviously went into this... "You're a fuckin lunatic and I like it."

[@kadie194]

6.8K views and I'm probably 1K of them by now

[@corancoranthemagicalman]

Oh this slapped so hard! The pacing at the beginning took my BREATH away that I had to watch it twice, and everything else was just such FUN. The whimsicalness of the show really shone through with this edit, as well as the bucket of emotions that I am attempting to nurture until season 2, haha. Thanks so much for creating and sharing!!

[@AnitaLife27]

They should hire fans like you to edit trailers, because this is EPIC! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@carpevinum8645]

It constantly amazes me how much happens in so little time without it feeling weird or rushed or forced.

[@nandermonation1881]

you are truly insane for this one, i watched it with my hand clapped over my mouth and i had full body chills the entire time. kudos on this goddamn masterpiece.

[@Halloloprsalulut]

I love this so much!!! The editing is so sharp and on point, the timing is perfect. The intro!!! The slower shots on "it's everything you ever want"!!! The (perfect sound balance) bits of show dialogue towards the end!!! Someone shared this video on tumblr which is how i found it, and aaaaaaaaah i have goosebumps.

[@lawlilawliet9939]

Small detail but I appreciate the editing where its Swede singing the moment the bearded lady hits that high note Its perfect

[@jazzloveslatte318]

This is the best edit ever!

[@ellycrysbenu]

This is just gorgeous. I just saw this shared on Tumblr, so thought I'd come give some love. Wonderful edit.

[@RavenSutcliffe]

Mate this is the most god-tier editing I've seen in my LIFE The lyrics match the scenes. The noises match onscreen. The dialogue?? Every Single Line having a particular meaning. The couples. The Swede who's a tenor in the show doing the belt-out. The rhythm matches every onscreen action. Even the damn colors!!! How many hours did you spend on this??? It looks like professional promotional material!! I'm just gonna rewatch this another 50 times bc I'm not recovering

[@vikabikabitch]

why this video feels like a home

[@mea.edittt]

why this hasn't got more likes? LIKE OMG?! IT HAS TO! its sooo good i can't stop watching it, you really showed the perfection from the show in your video great!

[@carolinemanuel8540]

My god the editing and syncing the beats is so good! Really nice job! ❤

[@chrisleneil]

Brilliant edit for our brilliant show! Shout out for the Swede getting the high note!🎶

[@Jane-i7c2e]

He'll! How do I give triple and quadruple likes to this edit? Well done. Truly, truly, well done.

[@yourlocaldemon2195]

Okay holy shit there’s so many details in this edit that I sadly do not have the time to fully break down, but I absolutely ADORE the detail of how most of the clips in the beginning that were used to build up hype were of violence and hits. Yet at the end during the absolute high of the song, all of the clips were of the subtle, domestic, and warm moments of community, showing the true core of the show underneath all the nitty-gritty blood and guts. Absolutely wonderful edit my dude, so many details from the synchronization of the audio to certain scene beats, to even the lyrics having major significance when paired with certain dynamics or events in the story, what a great video!

[@veritypurdy9945]

This show is such a home

[@jazzloveslatte318]

You made me cry.

[@ruffboimags]

SCREAMING CRYING SOBBING THIS IS PERFECTION brb linking to everyone I know.

[@limlaith]

I have goosebumps. This is so fucking awesome!!! Not only is this show the greatest show but your edit is SUPERB!! I am going to need to watch a few times to take it all in! Lord, the timing, the vibe -- give yourself a round of applause, or two or three! This is _so great!!_ I need to edit this to say that I have been watching this video several times a day since I found it, and I can't see myself getting tired of it any time soon. I can't believe how long it took me to stumble across this. Good grief!

[@zoesherwin]

2:08 The swords hitting with the music just hits different ❤❤❤❤❤

[@anamilicevic120]

this video is what finally got me to watch the show so i came back here to say thank you and also awesome work!!

[@tet26_a]

Gosh it's bringing such positive energy =_) needed it so much

[@sarahd.5244]

Ok but the editing in this is so exquisite! You did such a fantastic job on this fanvid!

[@hiigguys7395]

You made me audibly laugh out loud at 3:23 and 4:12. Your timing, perfect! Especially that second one. The "walls" did stop him. XD This is so good! It shows how epic and action packed and theatrical and hilarious and romantic and wholesome this show is.

[@BoogerBunch]

I was cracking up so hard at the Swede’s solo too 😂 perfection!

[@nonpluss3d]

HOLY HOLY SHIT THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! Where to even START!! All the perfectly synced sound effects and beats and even the roar! That montage of opening title cards! The perfect choice of scenes to match the lyrics (that curtain opening and bow for 'ladies and gents this is the moment you've waited for'; Badminton haunting Stede in 'stealing your mind'; 'and all that was real was left behind' with them leaving each other behind; Stede's fuckery at 'seeing the impossible coming true'; 'everything you ever want, everything you ever need'; omg I could go on and on)! How every pair gets their time in the spotlight so perfectly, all their kisses! And the progression of plant dying to plant being green, the crew chorusing 'as a crew'! This truly is the greatest show, and this is the greatest vid for the greatest show!

[@nonpluss3d]

WAIT I DIDN'T MENTION THE CHOICE OF SWEDE FOR THE HIGH NOTE THAT WAS ABSOLUTE CREATIVE GENIUS YOOOOO

[@valentinavalverde5485]

4:37 the best moment xd

[@dottyjyoung]

This is the BEST fan-edit. And the song is perfect, because no one expected The Greatest Showman to be that successful either.

[@felixislucky333]

1:16 - "left behind" with a shot of ed on the beach 🥲

[@notconsiderablecolors2account]

CHILLS

[@levoncrook7274]

It IS the greatest show.

Superb edit!

[@skittlesej]

I cannot wipe this huge smile off my face after watching this

[@kentuckymanpain]

genuinely think this might be one of the best music videos ive ever seen. excellent timing

[@ceecius2757]

THIS IS AMAZING PERFECT THE WAY THE LYRICS SYNCED UP WITH THE SCENES???? I love it I’ll rewatch it always.

[@thisisjamsomewhere]

This is the greatest show! YES, YES, IT IS!!!! 😭 Fabulous editing!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@juliep6435]

this is hands down the best edit i've seen for this show. bar none. well done. i'm going to think about this forever

[@gardnerhill9073]

One of my favorite lines is Stede reading a bedtime story to his ragtag crew "where the lost get found in the crown of the circus cage."

[@TessAvelland_1]

It's even better--the word is 'king' instead of cage. Stede is indeed a kind of Circus King, gathering the lost people of the crew together to make a family.

[@gardnerhill9073]

@@TessAvelland_1 You're right! (That lyrics website needs amending.) And re-emphasizing the "runaways are running the night" in the chorus.

[@TessAvelland_1]

Something I noticed about that line, repeated four times, is that on the word 'night' we see 1) Izzy, 2) Izzy, 3) Ed drawing the first dark line down his face, and 4) Izzy. This video is genius.

I remember listening to this song all day and night after I first saw the greatest showman.This song never gets old,just like this show will never do.It is the greatest show!

Holy sh*t that was awesome! This is indeed the greatest show.

Wow I can tell this took a lot of effort to piece together 🥺 but wow the final result is incredible- this perfectly captures the show

[@lauraxsynthesis]

Terrific! Love the randomness of including Frenchie nailing his sleeve ❤️🏴‍☠️

[@PadfootHolmes]

OMG such a cool video! I’d never think this song would match OFMD vibes so well. This is like a cool long trailer for season 1. I love it

[@Jodie513]

I wish it wouldn't end, this is so good thank you for sharing you work. I hope you'll have more views you deserve it👌

This had no right being as perfect and amazing as it is *.*

[@mirrorleaf]

This is the greatest vid! \o/ Also, your username rang a bell, and I realised that you made some of my all-time favourite Torchwood & Doctor Who videos back in the day, so I had a wonderful meander down memory lane. I am thrilled that you are vidding again. :)
