http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxV-OOIamyk The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes. This music video is 3:55 minutes long.
It's starts out with a young guy looking into space. I don't think it's one of the band members. I think it's just an actor. He says his name, he is an Olympic gymnastic, from New York, and he's a fighter. When he says that he is a fighter the camera turns to a side shot of his face and he actually says the sentence. Then it shows the band member playing the piano then cuts to the other guy walking in black and white. They show the whole band playing their instruments in a gym in color then it goes back to the young guy doing his exercises, washing his face, or traveling in black and white. When the young guy is in the Olympic training center it goes back to color. It goes back and forth between the band members and the young guy training. At 2:45 minutes they show a black and white video of a young boy (I think it's the same guy in the video, but younger) doing a flip off of the rings. That video is a little blurry and low quality, so it looks like a home video for a long time ago. At 2:50 minutes they show the same guy in a uniform doing flips off of the mounting vault. It looks like the actual Olympic place or practice round. Towards the end they show some more clips of the black and white video of the young boy practicing. The last scene is where they zoomed in really close to the young guy's face and he sheds a tear.
I really like this video. It is well done. This video fits perfectly with the lyrics of the song. It's interested that the video went back and forth from black and white to color. I think it worked well. It was consistent during the whole video, so it worked. I like when they show the young guy taking a picture with 5 kids in a training room. It looks like the guy is now a trainer and these kids are student. They show that scene at 3:06 minutes. I also like how they showed a home video of a young boy practicing years ago. That's a nice touch. It also shows how far this guy has come. He has been training since he was a little kid and now he is in the Olympics. I'm assuming the boy in the home video was the same guy in this music video. This music video is very inspiring. The music matched the singing of the band members pretty well. They told an amazing story in lees than 4 minutes.
