I will try not to think about what happens to this guy about 10 seconds later...

hmm, I'm not hip enough to know the reference. what movie is that? Or D-rated NBC drama? Kinda looks GOTish, but I crushed all six seasons in about a week so.....

It's from the movie Troy with Brad Pitt (Achilles) and Eric Banna (Prince Hector). Pretty good

Well done! Great way to start my Monday

It was awesome once you got past the minute of opening credits.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Very true actually, should have gone from that cool VT logo at the begining to the 1:10 mark or so.

The rest gave me chills. That "We are, VT" chant at around 3:30 in the locker room...

Really glad I didn't go with Fuente's speech for my video. This topped whatever I could have come up with.

this guy.... mouth agape. Quite literally.

I think this is your best one yet, very nice work!

Awesome trailer. Only suggestion would have been at the end instead of cutting to the VT, if he could have cut to that with the start of enter sandman. I may have run through my computer or the nearest wall.

I was expecting that myself, but his trailers always focus on theatrical score-type music. I don't think Enter Sandman would've fit with the theme.

same. I was thinking a few key notes would've been icing on the cake.

Agreed, I think if he would have just started with the opening seconds of Sandman as he faded to black I would have been at full chub.

@vtscottyb

Correct:

The design intent of the trailer was a theatrical 'Nolan-esq' feel, which is of course not for everyone. Theatrical score, saturated/darker color grading, and time and speed manipulation that is choreographed with the music and sounds are demonstrated by this.

I tend to not touch Enter Sandman on my trailers, not that I do not like Enter Sandman (I love the song). If I left people with the reaction of wanting more, or wanting something (in this case Sandman) then this is just as good of an emotion as any of the others created, in my opinion (if that makes sense). My whole purpose for me to create something like this, is to pick or prod at others emotions, sometimes good, sometimes bad, and sometimes people have their own interpretations or intent. Much success!

@VTimHokie85

The color grading is superb in all of your vids

Thanks for the explanation. It's too bad I can't read your posts without hearing them in Calculon's voice.

Thanks! I think that puts me around 82 years old in 'Video Guy' years...

My favorite so far. Well done!

Well done sir, VERY well done.

That was banging! I only wish the game footage clips were each about a second longer, they all happened so fast it was tough to find the focal point of the action before the next clip. Switching between regular speed and slo-mo on the stroman return was fantastic. Still might be the best trailer so far.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

not bad

Let's Go

Well done, sir!

Hyping up Hokie Nation one video at a time.

Dumb question time. At the 3:25 mark we see Stroman making gestures toward his jersey as he enters the end zone. Was this a nod to Beamer and the #25 jersey, or was he just bragging about making it in to the endzone with a clean jersey? The latter, while funny, seems like begging for a celebration penalty.

It was an ode to Beamer. Showing off the magic of the 25.

“When life knocks you down plan to land on your back, because if you can look up, you can get up, if you fall flat on your face it can kill your spirit” David Wilson

I remember watching it live and it was pretty clear that he was popping the 25 as a show of respect for CFB/how magical the 25 jersey is.

I thought it was awesome, but I have one critique: I don't think TSL should be allowed to have such a futuristic logo (last five seconds) when their format is from the late 90s...

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

Here's another one with MV7 speech.

I'm going to put mine out sometime soon. It was 100% done whilst intoxicated.
