New hype video

Submitted by MFreak on

I almost didn't have the heart to finish this thing today with the bad news from last night, but all of the comedy and overly optimistic people raised my spirits. We have a great community here at MGoBlog and I'm glad to be just one small part of it. Go Blue!

I was thinking the same thing. If he's playing as well as the coaches say he is, he's gonna be chasing down that #1 jersey all year. I'd kill to be a fly on the wall when Rodriguez gives Braylon a call. "Yeah, hey Braylon, it's Rich. We need to talk about someone."

Not bad.

I really wish I had time to create another video.  I'd love to make a UofM vid to the song "Stand Tall" by the Dirty Heads.  The lyrics are applicable to our season, and every time hear the song on my phone, I just think of how it would make a good UofM vid.

I must say: I've really enjoyed the trend in Michigan hype videos the last three years that puts our shortcomings and flaws and most painful moments on display alongside the exciting and positive ones. We're coming off 3-9 and 5-7 seasons; obviously, we're not perfect, or even good at football. And we're not going to pretend otherwise. What matters is that we love this team no matter what, in its peaks and valleys, and we're going to continue to believe that this year is the one in which we break through.

When I was listening to the song and thinking about what clips to put where and how to lay everything out I thought "Hm, some sort of big hit needs to go here." I think that was one of the most destructive looking hits last year, so I decided that needed to go there no matter what.

Was that Coner running behind RR at the beginning? Too bad he doesn't have eligibility left to come play corner for us. 

 

Seriously though cool video just made my GF watch it with me to get her excited.

Great job man.

I don't know if it's my yearning for positive things or what but i found that incredibly uplifting.

in any case, great job on the video. Good song, good clips, well timed editing. Posbang to you sir, you've earned it with your drive to finish the video and give us all this treat despite the last couple days...

I was also thinking about making a hype vid with Not Afraid but you beat me to it and probably did a better job than I would of done anyway so thank you! GO BLUE!

Actually, on that same subject since were on it. I have only made videos that are basically slide shows before. Where do people get those game clips to put in their videos? I have been wanting to make one like that for awhile now.

I used keepvid.com to pull stuff off of youtube. Also took a couple clips I couldn't find in highlights from other hype videos I couldn't find in highlights. I was gonna just get all the game footage from game torrents, but mgovideo is dried up and big ten tracker still hasn't gotten back to me about registration.

captures one of my favorite moments of the year, and it works perfectly in this song.

Loved the BG hit and the Tate leap, too.  Very nice.

Eminem, especially in this song, seems to distill perfectly the pain, defiance, and hope that the team is feeling right now.

Can't wait for the season to start.
