Thea the Gymnast Chapter Five: ~Theaphany~

This will probably be the last in the series, making "Thea the Gymnast" a pentalogy. Have no fear though: a brand new series begins December 25th (at least, that's my target goal).

As much as I love the Basil Poledouris epic soundtracks, it's time to move on to a newer theme. Since one of Thea's strengths is her strength, the Conan music seemed to fit. This latest and last video, however, doesn't focus on her physical strength, but on one of her weaknesses. Knobby pidgeon-toed knees, sickled feet, and initially, a lack of understanding of form and artistry, Thea's actually come a long way in less than a year. I think her ongoing transformation can find representation in how she used to do the final pose in her level 5 floor routine, to how she does it at the end of the video. I used to secretly chuckle at it because you could tell she had no clue what the whole point of standing there at the end of the routine was all about. The footage is mostly taken from around summer of 2005, December 2005, then throughout 2006, up to summer.

I had a deal of difficulty editing this one. I just wasn't sure what to put in it; and I felt like I was riding on fumes, as far as the footage goes. Nothing terribly exciting; mostly just spare part footage; but still fun to make for Thea (I think I just like listening to the music).
