"I think the montage standards for Reach are going the wrong way with this. People look up to the medals in a clip way too much lately and they forget how good the actual play is. There are people with truly great potential out there, but they aren't the kind of players that get rediculous high medals. These people will never get the recognition they deserve because instead of a sloppy Jaro they get the most insane triples and overkills." -Dutchy

So while this montage may not be exactly what he was talking about, this is how i felt about it. He said what alot of us have been thinking and its true. I see more and more montages that impress me less and less. Not to say that they are bad, just that i like seeing different aspects of Halo and these kind of clips are my favorite. Dutchys video inspired this montage as well as these clips. In my opinion these clips are some of the most amazing, clutch, dirty, or whatever else you want to call it. but above all else they are great plays. Pros or not, a great play is a great play. With that being said, I hope you enjoy Elegance. This is my 2nd full length montage I've ever created. So cut me some slack. lol I wanted to have this out last month but work got in the way.
To all the people whos' clips I used. If you have a montage of your own coming out, let me know and i will post it in the description for you. I want to help you get as much recognition as I can offer. and I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did working on it.
you can also download the montage at higher quality here:

this is the most well-edited montage i've seen to date. there's none of that flashy stuff you see in other over-edited montages.. the editing wasn't supposed to be the focus of the video, it just helped enhance the gameplay. YES, it was a little over-the-top, but it was consistent and i loved it.
rarely does editing truly sync with the the music.. i know, i know, people can slow down and speed up their clips so that each sniper shot in the boring overkill coincides with a beat of the boring 4:4 of the boring song.. but this was something else entirely.
the clips were amazing, too. well-chosen, skillful, exciting.
the shots of the maps and setups for shots were spectacular. we are allowed appreciate the beauty of the game and the skill behind the clips.
i don't think i've ever said this about a halo video but it was truly a work of art.
