I thought this was going to be for his (b)romanctic song with Justin Bieber, "I Don't Care", but I guess that's more green screen than mocap.

[Yeah, I'm mentally shipping them in that vid, because it makes me happy.]

The featured dancer is Courtney Scarr. You can find more of her work on her Instragram.

the dancing was better than the music, but that's a neat video!

The dancing was great the video was... less great. (Remarkably so, ‚cause I thought they had this all worked out.)

It reminds me of a 10-year-old Siggraph video meets an Animusic video.

Maybe not 10 years, but there's certainly been better.
