_______________________
The project I had to do was use footage that I had not filmed and edit it together to convey an idea or story that the original media was not intended to portray. When it was assigned, I had a few ideas floating through my head. However, none of them ended up working when I tried them. It was at this point that I realized I should pick an idea that I was more passionate about. I remembered a story I had heard about a young David Belle supposedly being inspired by the movement he saw in some nature special on monkeys in India.
The original idea was that I wanted to convey the idea of seeing these animals and becoming inspired to emulate their movements. I also wanted to convey that feeling of connectivity to nature that I think every student of movement comes across.
The song used is "Baba Yetu" by Christopher Tin. It was originally created for the Civ4 OST.
I downloaded 60+ videos to make this, but didn't end up using all of them. The clips I did choose to include were chosen not because they were the best examples of a specific movement, but because they fit with the clip of animal movement the best. Here are the ones I did use, in the order in which they first appear.

** [A compilation. Don't know where the clip is originally from. If you do know, feel free to send me a PM or comment or something so that I can give proper credit where credit is due.]
I would like to thank all Traceurs and freerunners for making the videos they make. Even if I didn't use a video you made in the final edit, none of this would be possible without the videos you guys put together. Thank you.
A special thanks goes to L'1consoable for making the "Parkour Origins" videos. You saved me a lot of time I would have spent searching for clips of specific animal movements.
