My Would-Be Submission for the #HokiesHype Contest

I just wanted to share with you guys the work I did for the HokiesHype contest. For those who don't know, VT promotions put on a contest to see who could create the best 60 second hype video. I put in a solid amount of time to produce a 'concept' video. This is generally step one of my video creation process where I create a concept video to send to Mike Strawther, my brother. and Joe.

Based on their feedback I work hard to polish a nice final product to share with Hokie Nation. Keep in mind this is just concept work and it is far from what I would typically release.

I ask that you forgive me for not having the heart to finish my video. Regardless, I hope that it fires you up for this Thursday night showdown against Miami.

Go Hokies!

Oh and ignore the logo at the beginning. Those are the placeholder images that Mike replaces with awesome animated logos.

Thanks for posting. Timing is perfect...this debate...ugh. Anyway, good use of Lazer's voice/calls. Bring on the Canes!

Outstanding video, as always! I truly think this, even as just your concept, is better than a lot of people's finished products would be. Also, seeing clips of the Bristol game literally makes me sick to my stomach because that game truly should have been ours. Looking forward to the next meeting already.

Of course I talk to myself, sometimes I need expert advice.

I made mine mostly for experience because I was aware you were making a submission and knew you would blow it out of the water.

I'm bummed we didn't get to see your final product, but it certainly makes me feel like I have a chance at winning this thing now.

God, Laazer sounded amazing in that Bill. Awesome work.

Outspoken team cake advocate. Hates terrapins. Resident Macho Man Gif Poster. Distant cousin to Dork Magic. Frequently misspells words.

Yup, can confirm pump-up. My one-year-old just ran through my living room wall.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

It's nice of you to give a chance to everyone else who submitted a video. Because this is straight fire

this. is. awesome.

Onward and upward

Okay, I'm now totally past Saturday's debacle and ready for tonight!

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

Winning video will be shown tonight

Watch it involve some political b.s. like the last time Dozer didn't win a contest to some guy who had a bland ass video.

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

elaborate?

Someone please help me with the details, but a few years back Dozer entered another video in a contest similar to this. The winner's video had nothing on Dozer's, but the dude had some connection to the committee that picked the winning video.

This was in response to Dozer asking about how the winner is selected

Oh yeah I remember that stupid garbage. Some insider made a stupid video where he stupidly said 'go hokies' and stupidly walked into the stupid tunnel and it was a total stupid hack job and won somehow. stupid

tell us how you really feel, horse

I wasn't a fan

Dozer, is this the same contest that you got screwed out of last year?

"Nope, launch him into the sun and fart on him on the way up"
-gobble gobble chumps

"11-0, bro"
-Hunter Carpenter (probably)

Slightly different. I think it was two years ago. It was a 30 second hype video contest where the winner got to lead the team out of the tunnel. Much cooler prize.

As if I wasn't excited enough for the game tonight, holy shit I feel like I
could run through brick wall!!

@AMB4VT

So... who won?

A Clemson student who is a huge tech fan???

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

A kid from Clemson... Seriously, check @Hokievision on twitter from around 24 hours ago

Which is fine. Totally fine. No complaints here. Not like he has a Clemson hype video that he made pinned to his Twitter profile. Everything is fine here.
