Video Montages I made of Our Dear Evgeni Viktorovich:
Destiny Beckoned:
A look at Evgeni's Olympic victory from 2006. I start out at a clip of him as a child, then flash forward to him about to skate his Olympic long program. As he skates, he reflects on his career and the highs and lows he's endured to get to this point.
Version 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2byf0qvcIw--- Version 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw2W_V0LK_c--- Version 3 (my best one in my opinion)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9_HFUstOPUStory Of An Artist
An homage to his artistic side, very few jumps (but when they come they are timed perfectly with the music as his usually are)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS5g4MZR5F0The following videos are "imaginary programs." I am still getting the hang of this so cut me some slack *grin*
Swan Lake Final Scene
A tribute to his ballet roots. I use St. Petersburg 300, an exhibition where he wore black (or some dark clothes, I'm very bad with colors, but I chose it because it suits the death of Prince Siegfried perfectly.)

My opportunity to have him have some fun! I use the Flamenco short program from 2003-04.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBzace1QYBISchindler's List
I use the "suffering philosopher" program ("Albinoni's Adagio") to convey "The Spirit of Humanity" to John Williams' masterpiece, Schindler's List.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRqQx1DKLREThe Ten Commandments (my favorite music but the program does NOT do him justice!)
I take various moves from different performances and try to make up my own performance to this wonderful music.

Plushenko & Yagudin: Of Course You Realize, THIS Means WAR!
A funny take on the rivalry.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uVqha3Ys6sPlushenko, Gordeeva/Grinkov, Kwan, Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze, Kulik:The Skaters' Waltz
This is just a fun video I made for the holidays a few years ago. The skaters have a wonderful winter waltz.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV4BxDcWus8Many Russian Skaters: Arise, People of Russia (my most ambitious project, used 45 videos to make it!)
This video is sort of a "pep talk" from the great Russian skaters of the past to get the present skaters to step up their game and follow in their great predecessors' skate marks.
