Upcoming videos

1) Now that the season is over, I’m going to be making individual highlights for players. What order would you like to see them? (not that it would make any difference in the order, but I’m curious).

2) If you have any constructive criticism, suggestions or music recommendations for future videos, post them on this thread only and I’ll consider them… maybe.

1. An updated Jahvid Best / Yakity Sax

2. Cameron Jordan highlights with “Move, Bitch, Get Out Tha Way” as the background music

3. Kevin Riley highlights (ie, completed passes) with some deeply religious music as the track

4. Longshore highlights with “Highway to Hell” as the soundtrack (with a little tag ‘For BearInsider’).

5. Some Darian Hagan clips with music from Conan the Barbarian

6. SQT highlights with E-40 “Tell Me When To Go” and line up the part where he shakes his dreads with the song…

…off the top of my head

The problem is that #3 is gonna be a really short clip ducking

Wow, these are some good suggestions. I’m definitely going to do E40 with Syd.

I second this

In other words, Go Bears!

Don’t know if you noticed, but I’m pretty darn sure you’re in this highlight video at 1:53 or so.

Made a sample vid for Spazzy

3. Kevin Riley highlights (ie, completed passes) with some deeply religious music as the track

5. Some Darian Hagan clips with music from Conan the Barbarian

http://www.vimeo.com/2689566

Made you a sample with the music you suggested.

Spaz, I’m not sure if you’re thinking this through… I thought it could work, but I started watching some clips with religious or inspirational music and I don’t think it works. What do you think about Cher?

by danzig on Jan 1, 2009 12:13 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

hahahaahahha I love the first song.

And yeah…it’ll sound RIDICULOUS, but hilarious at the same time.

Best/Religous

How about a slow motion vid of some select Jahvid Best runs coupled with

a) Spem In Alium, Thomas Tallis

b) Fantasia on a Theme, Ralph Vaughn Williams

Check the music

b) Fantasia on a Theme, Ralph Vaughn Williams

This is a sick track. I loved it when it was played in Master and Commander.

by danzig on Jan 1, 2009 2:05 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I’m not sure if it’s been in a previous clip video, but Holst – Planets (especially, of course, the one that people know – Mars)

It's seriously too bad that there's no building or complex around that might have a large supply of sports drinks.

I always thought Jupiter was the most popular

I like it…it sounds triumphant++

I tried it out both Mars and Jupiter last night and it only worked for slo-mo footage and most of the track was too slow… only the main themes were usable.

I may be able to use Fantasia on a Theme, Ralph Vaughn Williams for certain things.

by danzig on Jan 2, 2009 12:38 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

agreed

i think they would make good slo-mo entrance music, tho

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

by ragnarok on Jan 2, 2009 1:26 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Saturn, is another great tune; but the slow build up could make it difficult.

LOL at the first song

Also would love to see a trick plays / big plays compilation.

Need someone miked every game to help introduce some plays haha

Next time you use this song, cut in that guy that made it famous on youtube!

Thanks for posting these all season. I’ve been able to delete games off my dvr knowing that the good stuff will be online.

I liked the Jurassic 5 song you used for last year’s Jahvid highlights. Perhaps something along those lines for this year?

by omnizzle on Dec 31, 2008 11:41 AM PST reply actions 0 recs

I may use the same song again. First off, I’m running out of songs to use… and secondly, that beat goes great with the speed in which Jahvid moves his legs… not many songs sync with him.

I LOVE BIG 76 DERRICK HILL. EXPECTING BIG THINGS OUTTA HIM NEXT YEAR!

Please disregard the above ramblings as those of a clearly delusional fan.

I’m glad Danzig threw that in there. I hope Nate gets to see it; while the last 2 seasons weren’t what we hoped for, he does deserve props for what he HAS done for Cal.

by BleedinBlue on Dec 31, 2008 5:26 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Ditto.

Very classy.

Danzig- I think this is the best video you’ve made. The clips of Follett in between his big plays are genius. Use the song more too. It works perfect.

by calbear1017 on Dec 31, 2008 2:23 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

I agree. This is one of your best.

I definitely think an updated Jahvid Best highlight reel “silly fast” is in order.

by Davis Bear on Dec 31, 2008 3:31 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

That does surprise me though… it’s weird how different our opinions are on these vids.

I didn’t think this was anything special plus I thought people would give me crap about the song, LS tribute… and I thought Hydro would chide me on the use of the term SMASH! (I’m using it as a Flinstones reference, but it’s also a technical offensive term… so I suppose mixing them could be confusing).

Instead it seems you guys like the vid… like the song choice and aren’t going to give me crap about the LS tribute. I have no idea what you guys are thinking now.

by danzig on Jan 1, 2009 10:29 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Superb video Danzig, as usual.

The closing part about Nate was classy and well-done. It’s too bad those numbers aren’t more touted.

My requests, for some guys who played well, but don’t get highlighted enough:

1. Will T
2. Schwartz
3. Alualu
4. Mohammed

Can’t thank you enough for your highlights – they will help get us all through the dull offseason.

Who needs a highlight video?

Bryan Anger.

I’d like to hear some Wu Tang off Enter the 36 – maybe Protect Ya Neck or Clan in da Front.

by LeonPowe on Dec 31, 2008 6:55 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

I will do a Anger video… I like the idea that we’re the only school that will have highlight videos of their Fullback and Punter.

Wu Tang off Enter the 36 – maybe Protect Ya Neck or Clan in da Front.

Huh? Are these David Mamet plays? Jane Austin novels?

Just kidding… which tracks would you suggest?

by danzig on Jan 1, 2009 10:38 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Holy Crap! Danzig is a Nick too? If there are any more we’ll have enough to take over CGB in a bloodless coup. Or, if we want, a very bloody coup!

I 2nd the requests for Will T and the D. Line in general – I have a feeling Jordan, Alualu, Hill and Davis don’t get as much credit as they perhaps deserve.

I think that name is just illustrative of the fact that his vimeo accounts get banned for putting up copyrighted material.

Thanks Danzig!

great highlights!

and thanks for the longshore reminder….I fully believe that one reason folks are so frustrated and upset is simply because we all know he CAN DO IT!!!! I hope he does get a scout team gig for a couple years, then a real shot at playing time in the nfl.

Random Music Thoughts

There’s all those tracks out there by E.S. Posthumus that are of the movie trailer type that could be fun.

A senior tribute to “Thanks for the Memories”?

The ‘bodies hit the floor’ song always works for defensive highlights.

I’m sure a few Muse songs could be fun (hey, they tried it in Twilight!)

Please never use Top Gun Anthem again, but how bout Women’s Volleyball with “Hanging with the boys”

Something I never thought I’d see someone other than Twist post.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

I also have a significant other that’s caught up in the Twilight love fest?

We really need to start a support group for CGB members’ significant others who have been sucked into the Twilight craze.

I’ve been listening to Supermassive Black Hole a lot lately. Can that be the track for Rulon Davis/Derrick Hill’s highlights? And I mean that in a good way, because black holes are really powerful. I’m not racist or anything…

A senior tribute to "Thanks for the Memories"?

Do you mean Fall Out Boy’s song? That song is actually is pretty good.

The ‘bodies hit the floor’ song always works for defensive highlights.

I agree… already used it for Zack’s 2007 HL a while ago… but will use it again.

I’m sure a few Muse songs could be fun (hey, they tried it in Twilight!)

No idea what Muse is. This is becoming an epidemic.

Please never use Top Gun Anthem again

http://www.vimeo.com/2689566
So among the wack songs I put in Spazzy’s sampler (Cher, Pat Benetar) your main objection is with the Top Gun theme? Your judgment is seriously suspect.

by danzig on Jan 2, 2009 12:44 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I did mean the Fall Out Boy song. I’m lazy, didn’t feel like typing it all out.

I thought that I might have come across a clip of yours with that in the past.

Muse is a band, that sounds a lot like Radiohead. But they have some cool dramatic instrumental sections that make people think they’d be cool for highlight clips. That and they had a song in Twilight for their version of Quidditch (sigh, where’s that support group?)

Oh, there was a lot of fail in that last clip. Just because I omitted other songs does not indicate in any way an endorsement.

This post would be much clearer if I ever felt like utilizing the quote feature, but at least it was done chronologically

Danzig, I agree, this is one of your best videos ever. The music is a superb choice. The cuts of the pre-game mic-up is awesome. The ending tribute to Longshore is touching too. Thanks for putting together these excellent videos.
