Montage Series: "Terminator".

"There is no fate but what we make." - Kyle Reese


I consider the Terminator franchise to be my second-most-favorite franchise of all time, right behind Supernatural. My dad was the guy who actually got me into the Terminator mythos when I was only four years old, after he let my brother and I watch "Judgment Day" on TNT for the first time - somewhere around Christmas of 1995.

In my mind, despite what the official sources may say: I believe that all of the films, including the TV series (which was awesome in my opinion!), are all one singular story told within one timeline - each installment chronicling a different chapter in the lives of Sarah & John Connor. That belief of mine obviously affected the way that I chose to do the montages; Hence, the reason why both Linda Hamilton and Lena Headey are both featured as a single character in my work, for example, and why numerous other actors are also treated in the same manner: You just have to suspend a little disbelief.

As you may notice: One entry was created for my mom, based on the character who I nicknamed her after quite a few years ago: Sarah Connor. The second reason why I dedicated that one to her, especially, because both - the character and my mom - share the same exact birthday (Second sentence of the second paragraph: HERE).

Also, this mini-series contains two double-feature montages: One for a cyborg, and one for a human - a resistance fighter, preferably.

Overall, this series was a great experience to work on....
