1ST ROUND VIDEO-RIVALRY RENEWED

by BigCSouthside on Apr 12, 2011 5:50 PM CDT

Hello again,

Here's a video. Took me 8 hours and 2 iMovie crashes, but I hope it is much inspirational. I went with Lux Aeterna, some of you may remember it from that immensely depressing yet very well done movie "Requiem for a Dream". I think it's ok, considering I did this without a SINGLE CIGARETTE, which generally is one of the things that helps keep me from going cross eyed when making these. Actually the more I watch this in it's entirety and not just 3 second segments over and over again, the more I like it.

Off to buy more cigs. Enjoy.

Thanks to Verstig and everyone else who sent me music ideas, even if I don't use them, I do stockpile those for future projects, so I am always looking for ideas. Many thanks

Based on the title

“rivalry renewed” I was expecting some kind of video recap of the last two years CHI/VAN series so it took me a bit to understand what I was watching. Once I figured out that it was more a recap of the stretch run to get the Hawks into the playoffs it started to work much better.

I was basically going with

a.) heres what we did to them last year
b.) heres what we did this year to get to the point that we can do what we did to them last year, again

Nice work

As usual BigC. This season really hasn’t been so bad.

One tiny quibble – did I miss the bolland breakaway vs nashville when he faked suter out of his shoes, or is it not in there?

Gets me so jacked

This video just fires me up. Can’t wait for one of Kaner’s sick celeys or Hossa’s double fist pump or Sharpie’s air-pound. I’ve been super anxious since the Wild won. LETS GO HAWKS!!!!!!

Much Inspirational.

Quality work as always, BigC. If this is your work sans cigarettes, I can’t wait to see what future work (with cigarettes) will be like.

The cigs are more

to calm me down when I cant find what I am looking for, or iMovie decides it does not want to do what I tell it anymore then packs it’s shit and goes home

"Much Inspirational" or "Luongo is fuckwad"??

I’m paralyzed by indecision!!

But enough about the poll — the video is pretty fuckin’ sweet. Awesome job, BigC.

I just watched the vid

It pumped me up and and I wanted to say, “fuck, I love being the underdog!”

by Ban on Apr 13, 2011 1:54 AM CDT reply actions

Also, just from watching this

I’ve come to appreciate Foley so much more. How lucky are we to have him for at least a few more years? For as much shit as we give him for getting player names wrong, the man knows how to get you pumped up after a goal.

by Ban on Apr 13, 2011 1:57 AM CDT up reply actions

I particularly liked him on the Crawford save against TBL

Where he says “empty net” and you know he’s expecting a goal and then he just shouts “CRAWFORD!!!”.

That's probably my favorite call of the year.

the way he says “open net” is just so…full of resignation.
What a fucking save.

Tremendously tremendous!

Love it

Hossa is the king of celebrating goals in a simple but awesome way.

Great work.

I mean…there’s not much else I can say about it. It’s nice to see all the good stuff that happened this season. We tend to dwell on the bad things too much.

Tremendously tremendous!

Awesome video

Totally pumped for the game. It’s gonna make studying for my exam tomorrow quite difficult. Is it bad that the past 3 years of college, my GPA drops during the last month or so of every spring semester? Man, I love the playoffs and we get to watch the Hawks and Bulls hopefully tear it up this postseason.

That's sweet

I have so many good ideas for videos but I suck at video editing and finding good clips so I never get around to making them

Keith's slapper against Bryz

Might be my favorite goal of the year. Hard to explain, but I just love when a dude gets 1 on 1 with the goalie and blows a perfect slapper right by him.

That song drives me bonkers. Lil overused in the video world :p

However it was a well edited video.

by Dranearian on Apr 13, 2011 5:08 PM CDT reply actions

Yeah

I think gladiator and pirates is over used, admittedly I have used both. I hadn’t used this one yet and it had a good driving tone, which I think fit

Hans Zimmer

All he writes is this kind of music. Maybe if you look for his more obscure stuff you’ll find something that isn’t overused?

I have like every Zimmer song I could hunt down

A lot of them are great, but not the best for sports vids

Despite some obvious Hossa bias

Such an amazing video, and even more amazing when you consider it took 9 hours (which to me does not seem like such a long time considering how much “finish” this thing has)!

Is you get to pick who goes in. I think there is actually more toews than anyone else. Good amount of shooter too

OT, but hopefully appropriate for this thread

Just watched the Top Gear race from London to Oslo… and when Jeremy drives over the bridge they played “Moon Child” by M83 — that’s the song that some people suggested right? Underscores the fact that I ought to really pay attention to the Top Gear music now (really useful forum for that: http://forums.finalgear.com/top-gear-episode-songs/).

makes me wish that the Hawks can win 1 tonight!

You are my hero, BigC!!!

Great stuff. Yelling at my computer watching it. That Hossa between the legs goal was beautifully sick. Makes me really think he hasn’t been fully healthy all year after the start he had….cuz when he’s on he’s on. Really fun vid. Thanks!
