Several years ago, I cut together a Quantum Leap music video for "Fate's Wide Wheel." This almost certainly my favorite song from the show, and "Glitter Rock" has always been a top favorite episode. The original video was only compiled from VHS recordings, and so, the quality wasn't all that great. Plus, the variety of footage was limited. Once I heard the series would be released on DVD, I made a note to myself to revamp this video with DVD quality footage in the future. Now, I own the entire series on DVD, and have put together a higher quality revised edit. I feel the new cut is superior with stronger and more appropriate imagery at times, but good chunks of the original edit were preserved. The original video was available on my Trailer Realm website - www.michalak.org/realm as well as a defunct site called fanmadetrailers.com. Most of the videos on the Trailer Realm website are up on my YouTube account now. But with further ado, here are the two versions of this video I edited:

Music videos:
Really nice! *nod nod*

The first one was good, but the second one was even better. It told a lot more of a story, and you timed the motions much better to the music. Cool. I especially liked how you linked The Leap Home and Mirror Image into it. just a thought, if you don't mind: Did you consider using the shot from A Portrait for Troian for the first "in this mystery". That might work really well.

soooooo cool! :)

I agree with jassian on the "portrait of troian" thing, but otherwise it was awesome. Nice job you did here. Also one of my favorite songs and episodes from the show too.
