4 to go----Stanley Cup Final Pre-Series Video
no change to the video, just the title
NOTE: you may want to let this video load fully before playing it, otherwise the video and audio might lag
Sorry I didnt Fanshot this, I know the right rail is getting packed, but I couldnt get it to embed as a Fanshot
Continuing with my recent tradition/superstition or whatever, I worked up another video for the Stanley Cup Final. Since this hasn't happened since I was 8, I made this one to encapsulate the Hawks playoff run and some Hawk history. After sifting through about an hour and a half of Hawks highlights, I came up with about 5 minutes of what I think is gold. If you have 5 minutes to spare (or want to blow off some time at work), check this out, and I hope you all enjoy it.
Included: 09-10 Pregame intro-Game 2 Nashville-The Comeback Game-The Buff Trick, Kaner making Lu look silly-The 4 Sharks Games, Copious amounts of goals, celebrations, Niemi being a badass-Booby, Stan, Savy, JR etc completely undressing opposition D
A tribute to the Hawks and Second City Hockey,
Heres to hoping we have much more to celebrate, 4 to go...
Video/Music Credits:
Game Highlights: NHL Video
Historic Highlights: Eleven Minutes of Blackhawks History from TheHockeyCentral
09-10 Intro Video: via Youtube, authorized upload from The Chicago Blackhawks
Music: Theme from The Terminator (Orchestral version, edited)
Buff asks the question, hope you all answer Yes!
Have a good one,
LETS GO HAWKS!!!!!

Well worth the wait BigC
Gave me chills and brought a tear to my eye. The Hawks need to take this video and put it on their site. Loved the Terminator music with it.
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

Yes.
Awesome work. This will be keeping me entertained til the puck drops again.
I appreciate it
this has been days in waiting (I started it after game 1). Funny thing is, the boys gave me so much material I was running out of real estate…but thats a good thing

Again
I just watched again (after several celebratory beers).
And I reiterate what everyone else has said/suggested: they should hire you to do the videos. Yours capture everything I love about the ’Hawks . . . the talent, the passion, and the history.
I used to watch the games in negative because the old man wouldn’t pay for SportsChannel. Which is a) indicative of my age, and b) why I can follow a puck almost anywhere on screen (don’t ask what I was yelling when nbc totally failed after Duncs lost his teeth).
People should just take shots of themselves watching the vid and send them to the WBEZ idiot.
4.
Oh, wow, BigC!
This is fucking amazing! And so worth the wait. The music choice is EXCELLENT and so are the video choices! Great job. Can I rec it more than once? :)
INCREDIBLE BigC, simply incredible
You’ve come a looooong way since your first video, especially with picking your spots where to play audio instead of having it compete with the music. Great theme choice. The music is epic.
You tied in so many different themes there too. Very impressive. Didn’t know your mind was capable of that. Obviously you were sitting down and not chewing gum.
I was just thinking the other day (really, I was) that BigC can be the video guy and I can stick to photoshopping. Well, you just proved your mastery. Funny thing, you kind of stole my thunder here. I was putting together a similar video with highlights from the playoffs so far – but I can’t match this. So maybe you just stole my rain cloud rumble.
Great job. Rec’d of course.
Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.
by ChicagoNativeSon on May 23, 2010 6:43 PM CDT reply actions
Thank you sir
and I was thinking the same thing. This isnt perfect yet, but I had to publish it. I would have gone with a bit more audio ducking on the “One Goal” segment, and I was looking for a “first time in 18 years” audio, but I had to publish this one (cleaned up some audio at about 4 am today, and added Wiedeman’s call to the “One Goal” when I woke up this morning) funny thing is, I didnt have a good feeling about todays game

OMG!

Honestly
my biggest worry was that I had to put an audio edit in there to give me an extra minute of time (fucking Hawks, being good at hockey and shit, and making my life hard), it still isnt perfect, but it did its job

I noticed the edit but
I have ears trained for that stuff! It was a very good cut and honestly nobody would notice unless they listened for it or were really good at catching that stuff! Excellent work! I was wanting to do something like this but I just couldn’t find the right song to use and you nailed it my friend! Excellent song choice as well! I love that you left some of the play by play audio in there and also used some of the radio calls! You did a fine job!
Drink it up!
When all is said and done and hopefully we end up hoisting the cup
you HAVE to rework this video with the footage from the finals! That would be epic!
Drink it up!
simply brilliant!
great work big c! that’s my first time seeing the behind the net angle of the Ladd goal from game 2. absolutely beautiful!!
Yeah, I like two teams, get over it!
No, I have absolutely no clue what I would do if they meet in the finals!
Go Flyers and Hawks!
DUDE
Holy shit this is impressive stuff
You must have me confused with someone else, I have never been to Chicago.

I had goosebumps obviously, but so did my wife and she’s not into hockey. My favorite non-goosebump moment comes at around 22 seconds in, with Cam Barker standing on the left…

Blackhawks screwed up their intro video. At 27 seconds and later, you can see Seabrook wearing an A and I don’t remember him ever being an alternate.
he's worn an A

The editing was brilliant!!
The cuts to the replays and everything. You do deserve a job with the Hawks/NHL.
Lets do this
With the win today I was feeling pretty goddamn good and now I come home to this video and I am fucking ecstatic. Reliving the playoffs up to this point brought goosebumps to my skin. I was lucky enough to be at the game for Kaners 00:13 goal and I am just as excited watching it right now as I was then. We’re all pulling to have a sequel to this vid. Cheers to you BigC, Cheers.
SPANTAGULOUS
I have goosebumps, chills and tears….what what fun we’ve had so far. Hopefully much more to go! GREAT JOB!!

Wow
the production values on this are phenominal. I was just expecting a feel good video, but this is something else entirely. Good work.
Absolutely awe inspiring
I had goose bumps through the whole video and actaully teared up at the end. It made me realize why i’ve given so much of my heart and soul to this team over the years.
Much gratitude to you for putting it together. (And do you realize how much i’m not going to get done at work today because i keep watching this over and over and over and…….
[Also, if anybody connected to SCH knows anyone on the inside at the Hawks organization, this video needs to be brought to their attention. How awesome would this be up on the big board pre-game! We must make it happen!]
