This makes a lot of sense! Thank you! A lot of my notes are still pertaining to the performance direction more so than the content and power within it and I'm so happy they had these so we can appreciate the choreography schema more effectively and not just get the camera shots they had if that makes sense!!

That's what I was informed of before getting to this challenge! I'm happy they were able to push themselves here!

So what I have personally recommended or what I have heard others in a similar position recommend is to add some variety to either the torso or extremities while transitioning. The turn off of basket runs is they interrupt the flow of the concept when they are there for "cleanliness" sake and not for concept flow and functionality! So as long as the basket runs have a "reason" that is functional to the storyline or vibe of the track (like LOONA's Backup dancers having cameras in their hands for example!) I don't have as many issues with it!

This is a great piece of insight! Thank you for sharing! I think my favorite aspect of the show format with all of the seasons is the exposure to new groups or "new to us" groups if that makes sense! Love getting to see what makes Viviz stand out as a group and getting to appreciate LOONA as my future marathoned group! Hyolyn has also been a freaking POWERHOUSE all season long which has made my GEN 2 heart soar!

See I remember us having the conversation but I was expecting the rough draft studio reheasrals and not full costume. So super happy to get the idea in a full cam shot and a lot of my feedback pertains to the staging more than the effort which is why I'm okay with it being the rehearsal vs show. I am VERY excited to see all the people in a camera vibe because that is what will make it somewhat extra special I think!!!! And I am VERY excited to see the hat catch as well! So happy she was able to get it at the live show because I understand the stress!

I think Viviz did a really good job with their strategy.
Originally they were going to perform something big and fancy, really powerful as the other performances, however the members said that they wanted to perform this song that was actually a rejected song from GFriend previous album time for the moon night, all the three members like this Soo much and talked with the previous company to get the rights to viviz as they wanted to maintain their colors and not just change it for the sake of the competition.
And honestly I feel that is why this song was really streamed and supported as it's a song that fits them as artist and represents something different than the other groups, and why Viviz really shone in the finals not as the winners of the first place but as the group that got most popular.
Like the vibes, the performance and their amazing job was something new and different that make people wonder about Viviz not on the show but they as artist.
Even if u take GFriend members out of GFriend, GFriend still lives in them and we can see it in the colors of each member and their taste in some albums songs, as in each of them in Viviz, YUJU and Yerin music, u can find songs similar to GF style.

one of the things that made me realize was Choerry actually catching the hat in the live and the stilted guys in costume live as well.

You talk a lot an out basket run (not this episode specifically just overall) what other sort of transition would you recommend backup dancers use instead?

From memory I think Loona wanted to do more of a boy group dance concept

I have a feeling that some of these were filmed during rehearsals because Chaeyun from Kep1er was definitely in the televised version of their performance but wasn’t there the rest of the time on this episode and I read online that she was taken to hospital or something. There also doesn’t seem to be an audience in most if not all of these cams. I think that’s why the stilt people in viviz’s performance didn’t have pants over the stilts cos it was a rehearsal
