<p>The rapper will.i.am was all over the Democratic National Convention last week. He was headlining a big concert in downtown Denver on the night of Obama&#8217;s speech, and hobnobbing with George Stephanopoulos at a private Huffington Post panel.  He&#8217;s famous, at least among Democratic delegates, for the music video hit, &#8220;<a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/yes-you-can-dance-to-it/">Yes We Can</a>,&#8221; that scored Obama&#8217;s primary speech.  (Among non-delegates, he&#8217;s famous for less enlightening songs like &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APHm8DbYkL0">I Got It From My Mama</a>.&#8221;)  But the Obama campaign is no one-hit wonder.<span id="more-3810"></span></p>
<p>The campaign&#8217;s web team just dropped a new video that leaves Barack behind &#8212; &#8220;Yes We Can&#8221; was<em> all </em>Barack &#8212; and turns the spotlight on sign-holding supporters, with music by &#8220;The National,&#8221; an indie band from Brooklyn.  The band is also backing Obama with a &#8220;Mr. November&#8221; campaign, which raises money and sells T-shirts for the Democratic nominee.</p>
<p>PRODUCTION NOTES: Time-lapse photography sets a dreamy, almost idealistic tone, while a diverse range of Obama supporters discuss their hopes for a more united nation.  Several also hold signs promising &#8220;hope&#8221; and &#8220;change.&#8221;  The production is sleek and professional, matching a low-key instrumental song from The National to images of volunteers and citizens on the move.</p>
