I had the opportunity to work on Mike Song‘s epic KINJAZ VS QUEST Final Fantasy inspired dance battle. The video combines the artistry of two amazing dance crews with the nostalgia of FF. Summons? Red XIII? Blitzball? If you were ever a fan of the games watch the video above and your heart will sing!

The best part of working on these passion projects is that you get to work along side friends from different walks of life [The Joys and FMLS of Freelancing.] At one point or another each person in the photo above has collaborated with each other. Mike’s dance battle brought together two independent dance crews, special effects, costume design, and filmmaking for one big collaboration.
I’m very thankful and inspired to have shared this experience 🙂 –and with that I’ll end this post with Hok as RED XIII perched on a fence.

Where can I get that high collar jacket/sweater?
You can probably cut and sew one together. The ones used in the video were custom made by Junlyn Delas Alas
