Parting Shot: Slow dancing in the snow
|
 Sometimes a video without words can speak volumes. Here’s an interesting dance video choreographed and shot by 14-year-old Julien Ares whose uncle owns construction firm Bertrand Ostiguy Inc. in Shefford, QC. The dancers may be heavy-footed to say the least, but the outcome is as elegant as any recital. Ares’ creative vision led to this wonderful masterpiece of backhoes “dancing” to the strains of Metallica’s ‘Nothing Else Matters.’ In a CTV interview, he said, “At the start I wanted to do something that was slow because excavators are really big and can't make really fast movements.” Who knew heavy metal could be so light on its feet?
