Where Amazing Happens: Cal?

by BearsNecessity on May 30, 2008 5:41 PM PDT

Anyone here good at video editing? I was wondering if anyone wanted to do some brief music spots previewing this year's season. I'd think doing something like the "Where Amazing Happens" commercials for the NBA would be pretty tight like this one. It might help to extinguish the bitter taste out of our fans's mouths to do some more creative endeavors that promote the positive stuff about Cal.

Michigan fans did this with great success: http://youtube.com/watch?v=d_RSLFwK9O0

ps-im no hacker but...

some kind of countdown clock till Michigan state would be kinda cool if possible.

good idea

But we don’t have a whole lot of control over what goes on the site, aside from the posts and comments and whatnot. I’m not sure if we can rig up a countdown clock anywhere, even though the HTML is pretty simple.

I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

i'll take a look

we can’t add anything to the top, but we have pretty good control over the sidebars. i’ll bet we could manage something.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Personally if I were to do it I’d go with the “What do you see?”, “U C Berkeley” theme…

I used to be RR at the Cal Golden Blogs

I’m fairly certain every time that spot showed up on the TV, something bad proceeded to happen to us on the next possession.

At least we dont have that commercial with the flying graduation cap.

thank god

that was the most embarrassing piece of junk ever put together by 1st year EECS students. i’m glad we’ve hired actual marketing people now.

I resent that EECS comment… even though I’m 3rd year

i was being self-deprecating

i myself have an EECS degree from Cal (class of ‘04).

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

by ragnarok on May 31, 2008 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions

EECS geeks unite!

class of ‘01.

i would also like to include:
“Where the Ziger happens” with his fumble-forcing hit/sack on Ainge from last year
“Where ghost riding the injury cart happens”

by calbearz24 on Jun 3, 2008 3:12 PM PDT up reply actions

I find it disturbing

...that there are so many EECS majors here. I’m class of ‘07 btw.

On another note, did you guys see Subramanian in the “What do you see? UC Berkeley” ad last year? My friend was in the class, and he said they had to bring girls in from the hallway and put them in the front row, before they could shoot the clip.

That sounds like a lot of work. Couldn’t they have just dressed up some of the more feminine looking guys in the class in drag?

Nice ideas dude. All we need is to find someone who likes video editing.

by BearsNecessity on Jun 6, 2008 8:51 AM PDT up reply actions

i think this could be really neat. do it!

unfortunately, i have no video editing skills of my own. so, uh, good luck with that!

Haha, well I typed this hoping someone knew video editing. I certainly don’t.

Ideas for the pictures

So here’s some ideas I have for the pictures.
Where The Band is out on the Field happens: A picture of the Stanford band player getting plowed by Moen
Where 23 for 23 happens: A picture of Rodgers throwing in the USC game
Where Beast Mode happens: Marshawn’s stiff arm
Where the Wizard of Returns happens: Jackson’s jukeback in the Tennessee game
Where tomorrow happens: A picture of Riley throwing

These are some prelim ideas.
