I can certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these videos, but the musical selection is kinda soft.  In this one, it sounds like part of the soundtrack from a straight to DVD teenage dramedy when the protagonist is getting prepared for the student council race.  Of course, balance that against the auto-tuned trash of recruiting videos and you've got a tough choice.

To someone with the drive to put something together, I'd recommend Tef Poe's "Show Stealers" as the soundtrack.  No, you've never heard of him, but the track combines hip hop and a college marching band/drumline.  Much more hype than "Mannequin 2 -  On the Move".

I can't embed, so click and see what you think:  http://www.youtube.com/user/tefpoe?blend=12&ob=5#p/u/0/sXXPOO2if8E  (and, no, I don't know the guy...but I do know music).

I completely agree with you; I don't have the know-how to create a video with non-original content (where are folks downloading the video clips anyway?).  It is easier to criticize (or compliment) than to create.  That's why I give props to the effort, even though it falls flat for me (Pop Evil anyone?).

I don't like your taste in music - the music I like is sooooo sick though.

I am either in, or just graduated from, high school. As such I fully understand that scorn is personified by comparing your well-produced video to the reality I inhabited these past years.

I can't put together a sick video like this. What's more, I don't have the motivation to learn how to do so. Can I make up for this by taking pot shots and offering unconstructive criticism?

Oh.... OK. I was a paid shill the whole time :(

pretty good effort. i love just the sheer volume of hype videos the michigan fan base puts out eery year. these things really help in the long offseason.

I haven't been able to get quite as hyped for this season as I have in the past. I think it's just a defense mechanism to shield myself from as much disapointment as the past 4 years. But there was just something about this video that has me on edge for saturday! I got goosebumps at least 4 times during that video!

Great video! The flash of the Victor's Walk makes me wonder why they are getting rid of it. To walk through a tunnel of all of those people would focus me on the task at hand and remind me of all the people that I was about to represent... gives me goosebumps to think about.

I'll not criticize ANY of these, especially since I've liked them all and lack the skeelz to make my own.  I think I like the one with images showing through the archways and reflecting off the glass best, but they've all been 'tremendous'.

Well, my plan to have a productive work day is now shot.  After watching this video I am too excited/pumped/amped/etc. to do anything that even resembles work.  So I guess the next 8 hours are going to be spent watching and reading about Michigan Football.  All in all I guess that is considered a banner day.

Great job on the video.  

So now for the shameless pity-party.  I'm going to miss this game because I'll be chain-sawing all weekend.  We had two walnut trees downed at our cottage from Irene and there isn't anywhere along the Pamlico Sound that will have the game on.  None of them actually hit the cottage but one of the sheds has some damage.  Plus, there's no interwebs there unless I hijack it from the church across the street and a crappy cell phone signal as well.    I'd like to believe that I can refrain from these boards and the media all weekend to watch it on Tivo but that's never going to happen.

I could watch this stuff all day...

Though its like the same 8-10 plays over and over of Denard burning holes straight through defenses, I absolutley LOVE it.

MORE MORE MORE!

...but, Great music for the beginning, otherwise I would have rolled the music into something else at about the 2:05 mark...Great work

I think from here until saturday I'll become a hermit and watch hype videos and replayed games until my girlfriend threatens to leave me...
