Loved it!

This is so great! Love all the visual incorporation of math and technology and faces and reactions. It all just works really well together.

Ooh, I really enjoyed this, really captures the spirit of the movie!

I loved this. I feel like Janelle Monae was the unofficial queen of the vid party this year so this vid was a great way to start off the premieres playlist.

Actually, on my flight to WisCon I sat next to a 7ish year old girl who on takeoff scrolled through the in flight entertainment and immediately exclaimed, "Daddy! It's my favorite movie!" and proceeded to spend the entire flight rewatching Hidden Figures. In that moment, I thought to myself 'omg how can something so adorable be happening right in front of me and my very own eyeballs.' Your vid brought that very same feeling back 'omg this is amazing and it is happening right in front of me and my very own eyeballs,' so thank you.

I also want to say that I really appreciated your video for the Tiptree award winner's speech. As someone who hasn't read When the Moon Was Ours (yet), it was a lovely introduction to Anna-Marie McLemore's prose and served as another goad to seek out her work.

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm so glad this vid recreated that feeling for you. And thank you for the kind words about my "When the Moon Was Ours" speech. I hope you get to read the book. That reminds me, I should share that vid here!

Sending a belated thank you for this note! I hope you've since read WHEN THE MOON WAS OURS. It's a magical book and one I couldn't believe was happening as I read it.

I kinda hate you because when I was watching the movie, I wanted to do a vid to this song but you beat me to it. <3 But it exists and it is amazing! Math and technology and space, oh my! I also love how it ends with "or will you preach?" and Janelle Monaé's character.

thanks for making and sharing this video!
í watched this movie a few days ago and it was really lovely.
the song choice really fit, (along for the bonus of the singer playing one of the roles)
my fav lyric matches were: "They say: Let them eat cake!"with the "coloured" caffe pot "They keep us underground"with her shoe stuck "Well I'mma keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman"with teh triump, and all the other ladies she helped.
my fav part was the end were it spreads into the historic context.
sorry for the messy comment, my words dont want to work right now.

Thank you! Yes, the coffee pot is one of my favorite shots too, and I'm so glad you appreciate the ending!
