Montage: Dare You to Move by MsMia

MsMia's montages are consistently incredible, and this one is no exception... perhaps her best to date. Timing is everything in a montage... and this one hit at a very important time. The song and the montage deliver important messages, I think for Clay, as well as the fans. (Yeah, I like to think big.)

The song itself is a reminder that yes, everyone is watching, but by living, by MOVING on with his life, he is where he belongs.

MsMia does an incredible job of delivering the message with scores of photos moving past our eyes in time to the music. She uses a silhouette effect to give the impression of waiting, and an incredible amount of closeups and facial expressions.

Her video software allows her to do double and triple images with the clips, which is so cool. Its so amazing to see what can happen with great software in the hands of a gifted person like MsMia.

The video clips are primarily from the pop concerts, but the photos are from the entire post-AI History of Clay. And let me tell you, using that many photos is not easy. They are skillfully and artfully employed in this montage, and help relay the message that he is WHERE HE BELONGS.

The mood? This montage makes me want to square my chin and take on the world, so the mood and the message are coming across loud and clear.

So if you are feeling any angst these days, you will enjoy watching this montage. Its a good swift kick. I love it! g
