Will.i.am: a new WAY

Check out this video on cnn.com. I'm assuming this Will.i.am character (who was also privileged enough for CNN to hologram him into their studio on election night '08) made this video himself with a little help from CNN. While I question the journalistic integrity of this video, I was completely taken in by it. I think this is a great example of what good audio can do for a video. Towards the end (1:45ish) you see some pretty good still shots, but the video doesn't exactly do it for me. Some of it looks like it could have been taken with Will.i.am's video phone while he gets bumped around by the crowd, but the bad shots don't lose me because the audio is great and keeps me interested. He also does something I think is pretty cool at 1:01 where he mixes the voice over with audio from the video itself. I think it works pretty nicely for him. Overall it's an overly corny piece with not too much journalistic value, but it ends up working pretty well because of the audio.
