"We can beat them.... just for one day." - David Bowie
It was exactly one year ago to this very day when I created what I've personally come to feel was my most ambitious and memorable montage ever. For years (yep, YEARS), I'd always wanted to express to the world my long-held belief that most of my favorite characters from seemingly separate universes actually lived within one unified world, even contrary to the official position held on said subject.... and I finally achieved that end a year ago with David Bowie's "Heroes".
While I also used characters who didn't necessarily fit into my unified universe (i.e: Dr. Manhattan of "Watchmen" fame and Angel and Cordelia from the Buffy universe), my point with using those characters from alternate timelines and realities (although Dr. Manhattan can be seen as an exception since he's quite capable of crossing over into new realities) was to demonstrate that heroism isn't only exclusively limited to any one particular reality, but is actually something commonly found in all realities - every timeline across.
In closing: I've done many, many, many montages and montage series ever since I produced the "Heroes" montage a year ago, but even with all of those subsequent accomplishments under my belt, I've truly never been able to top that one special effort of mine. And so, without any further ado....
One Year Later: Heroes
(Make sure to turn the volume up on the song when you get around to it.)
