"A Dream" by Common feat. Will.I.Am is a song from the film Freedom Writers and uses pieces of the Martin Luther King "I have a Dream" speech. The video uses illustrations composited in 3D space with video which give the video some amazing transitional elements. Also, note the transitions from video to poster. A former student of mine showed me this video today and that is the type of stuff he would like to create.

I saw Common at Lollapalooza in Chicago last summer, at least a few minutes of the show. Good stuff.
