Description
Hello Everyone, we will soon be welcoming in the 2026 year as we put the 2025 year behind us. You all have my best wishes for a great new year and may this coming year fill your life with memorable moments and bring good fortune your way.
My friend Lyla "ladylake" asked me if I could take a few of her gallery images and enhance them into an animation, so I selected a few images from her gallery. (it was not a easy job in deciding which to choose as she has a beautiful gallery full of wonderful images) Nevertheless here is the video I did for her. I took the lyrics from one of her favorite songs and generated and AI cover song from the original song lyrics "I Hope You Dance" originally released in the year 2000 and sung by Lee Ann Womack. I like how this AI song stayed true to the spirit of the original and hope you all like it as well.

The lyrics in this song carry a great message that I think everyone of us can relate to in our own life. I am thankful to be part of this great community and I hope that we can all find a way to keep it from slowly disappearing as we loose one artist after another. Lets stay supportive of each other, there is not many of us left.
I thank you all for the great support you have given me this year and I am grateful to all of you...I thank you all. :-)

Let us all hope that humanity will rediscover its strengths and what defines humankind at its core: the capacity for empathy!
Currently, it doesn't look that way, especially here in the USA, but better times are coming!🌞
A masterpiece ! I swear, this is a masterpiece....let's hope we'll be able to dance in 2026 but will the totally stupid leaders of some (many, actually !) contries be wise enough to let us dance ? I'm not sure. I wish you all the best and, please, post more superb videos like this one and the others we enjoyed in 2025.
I'm no longer able to dance. But appreciate these dancing ladies. Best wishes also.
Dearest friend, I thank you so much for bringing my art to life. As always you have done a masterful job. The video is outstanding. I love it. I add my wishes to everyone for a wonderful healthy new year.
A fantastic video with an equally fantastic background song. Great work my friend, I wish you a happy new year.👍🙋🥂🍾

This is a fabulous animation to finish the year, the young ladies are so graceful and the music goes so well with it… awesome work ! I wish you the best of the best and a very creative New Year !!
Wonderful and moving (no pun intended) compilation you created, Johnny!
And your music selection is very good as usual :-)
This is absolutely wonderful work. A very happy new year to you and all your loved ones!
A great way to begin the year!
Happy New Year to you and yours!
This is absolutely magnificent, Johnny! Wow! A Happy New Year to you and yours!
Indeed, one by one, Rendo is losing so many of us long-timers. Very sad.
A dazzling and heart-lifting piece of state-of-the-art animation processes that are way beyond my understanding of their proper technicalities, but the outcome is here, plain to see : a pure gem , my friend !

Fantastic work!!! I love it! Happy New Year! Best Wishes!
Extremely well-done profession animation. Wonderful music!
I just left comments on Lyla for the first time in a while, and each time I go there I'm reminded how magical and loving her gallery is. (And I just visited Courtray for the first time too..haven't commented on her magic yet, but will do so soon). Lyla's images are perfect for your work, and I love how you singled out the originals in the end, the way some older films would show each main actor/actress at the end of a film, as a bow to each one. Great to see where your characters came from (and they're perfect examples of lyla's work, which you in turn celebrate one after the next).
Fine and intimate work with each individual dancer. And how you brought the crowds to life. And the different dance steps. In the young girl's scenes, you use ballet (in the slippers, the toe positions, etc)---mixed with other moves too. I've worked with ballet dancers, god that's a difficult art! (And when they, in later years, turn to modern dance, or ballroom dance, the teachers say "you have to forget ballet! It gets in the way of the present dance!" Can you imagine unlearning all that? I saw young ballet dancers come out of practice just so intent on being great...the agony of learning! they so wanted to be great at it, it just consumed them, the aspiration, the working so hard, the pain and the joy, the fatigue and reward when they mastered the next step...) Your rendering of these dancers display a lot of smoothness and mastery; you're sensitive to all their moves. And your pulling back of the 'camera' with the first dancer---so we can see the beautiful dappled light in the forest---is more fine cinema from you. And the addition of a modern young woman at the end is a sweet ending...with the 'harmony' of her twirling gown (something the other dancers did too). Another wonderful piece from you, sensitive, caring and loving. Exciting to see you work with other artists too. You do Courtray and Lyla very proud.
Gorgeous art by Ladylake and animations by you....Superb dedi for 2 amazing people :)
Happy New Year to you as well and best wishes, my dear Johnny!🥂💝🥰 A most outstanding brilliant awesome, Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts! I love it!
