Iona, you already know how much I love this vid because I flailed at you about it when you were here. But I'm going to tell you again, because I just rewatched it and it literally gave me shivers down my spine. <333 It is the most graceful, awe-inspiring thing. The way you seamlessly mesh all these disparate sources, pulling out the common themes of hope and industry and community throughout history and effortlessly move from one to the other (that clip of the soaring hands that links The West Wing to P&R!) - it's really beautiful. You use the music perfectly, particularly with the repeated water shots, and when it builds up to its crescendo. Obviously I always flail over Leslie and Ben, and over the clips from Three Idiots (<333) but I can't really get over how you have created a vid that's about something so much bigger than the small list of sources initially suggests. It's prefect.
