Description
One of the most fascinating aspects about Japanese modeler Kakomiki's model of Alice Faye is her whip. In itself, it is a truly amazing piece of work; especially it's physics. So I decided to make this video to take full advantage of it. To accentuate the actions of the whip, I simply added the fire effect to it in order to make a dance that creates a kaleidoscope of movement and colors; setting the whole piece to one of the great songs from the 1980s.

CREDITS:
Alice model (slightly edited) - Kakomiki
Stage - Tsubasa's Pyramid (private WIP)
Sky dome - ~kaahgome
Motion - adapted from Electric Diva and Interstellar Flight
Camera/gravity settings - self made
MME - fire effects / adult shader / Rule of Thirds (used to set up the camera shots and angles)
Music - Billy Idol's "White Wedding" 1982 (Capitol Records / EMI)

Notes:
The only way to get a picture that captures the fire effect in motion was to play the video full screen and use the Prt Sc button.
The fire effect was done by directly attaching 3 (scaled down) fire effects to the bones towards the end of the whip.
Gravity settings needed to be changed to ensure smoother movement of the whip.
