29. Very nice! If you're soliciting suggestions...

A couple shots of the megacrowds -- the sea of people effect -- especially gathered toward the end of the video, to give it that "building movement" impression. A few of the Europe shots would be good too. Also, one of the shots from the Wailing Wall would add a nice poignance.

The toughest suggestion -- an effect that requires work -- would be to start a megacrowd shot zoomed in on Obama and slowly pull back until he's a dot in the mass gathering. Extra points if you could mix in one "We are the change we seek" or similar quote during a break in the lyrics, and one or two crowd cheers during another break.

It's great as it is, of course. Thanks for posting it. I wasn't sure whether you wanted suggestions or just a final approval.

PS I have no experience with this sort of thing, so you can feel good about blowing off my suggestions.
