I am beginning to finalize the storyline to my music video for the song "The Ultimate" by Stan Bush. 

I am going to attempt a motivational, thought provoking "circle of life" style video, showing several older clips of me that I have made (with my years of video making interest), and showing the progression of time throughout the clips. The lyrics are extremely fitting for the topic: "You've searched for so long, a lifetime of waiting, the powers are waking," "Hold tight, life's a rocket ride," and "You've come this far, it's yours for the taking." 

I would capture footage of an older man, preferably a senior citizen in my family, around the house, reminiscing on items, and then the majority of the video would be the flashbacks of mainly middle school and high school footage of me, with several old, adolescent pictures being displayed. 

The song ends in a unique fashion, with a snare drum line, surreal sounding synthesizer, and a vocal choir hitting different notes. For the finally, it would be a black and white, slow-motion "flashback" over the entire life of this man, and when the drumline abruptly stops with the song, the senior citizens eyes would close, bringing us to the music videos ending.
