Montage: Dasvidaniya. Song: Gary B - Time to slow it down

This video is a montage to one of the best movies I saw in the year 2008. It was pretty hard to find a song that would present a complementing mood to a montage for this movie. I had to spend a lot of time listening to a lot of songs. But I'm more than happy with what I ended up with. It could not have been better. Editing the video took over 6 hours for me. Others could have done it faster perhaps. Structuring a narrative within a montage is a funny thing. You have to decide whether you want to go fully linear or fully random or quasi-linear? This video is quasi-linear. So all the time I spent thinking what a clip would mean at a certain point might not make any sense to others. What I've tried to make sure, though, is to go with the mood of the song as much as possible. After all, it's the song that's static the entire period. There are some minor editing errors that I have left out simply because I was tired of rendering 20 versions of the same song just to make little changes. If anyone has the time, I'll share the Vegas project file with you (of course, you'll have to download the movie - with the same file name, size and such). Thanks. Song Lyrics: It's not too late To turn around We can be free If you know how We run too fast We push too hard It's time to slow it down Slow it down We want too much We're losing touch It's time to slow it down Slow it down
