A Story about penguins, video, montage, clips, childhood, memories and music (The Books - Classy Penguin / Playall, 2007)
This week’s inspiration comes from the world of video montage, featuring a gem from the band The Books! We'll focus on how different clips and moments from childhood can be pieced together to create new stories and memories.
Watch how the different clips of video and music are blended to create playful, dancing, cherished moments—and even penguins! How will you use montage to tell your own stories?
