Repped. Seriously, I don't normally enjoy amateur montages, but that was really, really, really well done.
That's great stuff man. Nice job! Love the music that you put into these videos, and not like those other mixes you see with rap/hip hop in it.. but you hear the actual call of the game. Love that. The Blazers should give you a job, that would've been a great opener before a game on the broadcast after the Houston game. A hell of a lot better than the stupid cheesy remix of that old-school Blazer theme they keep pumping out which annoys me every time they play it.
thanks for the feedback everyone. anyone else remember hearing wheels' call of that pippen game winner vs utah? I turned off the TV commentary and turned his on for that game PS - anyone remember DA's game winner vs Seattle? the night after Sheed hit the GW @ GS? I was there live for that one...wanna see if anyone else was too.
Extremely well done, Max. That was a great trailer, you've got cinematic editing chops for sure. Nice visual touches too, with vignettes and film flashes, etc. Are you a Final Cut guy?
I remember one where Strickland stole the ball against Houston and went the length of the floor to lay it in at the buzzer. Eddie Doucette called that one, IIRC.
hey thanks. yes I am a final cut guy. since FCP 1 when I was in middle school. been using it ever since for anything video related. one thing I try to do is let the story and the game and the plays shine instead of the graphics and effects. i hope the vignette and flashes didnt take away from the "story" of the mix. I find that a lot of mixers today are technically amazing and their graphics are great, but it puts a huge spotlight on them instead of the basketball itself, ya know?
I imagine maxiep was being literal, unless of course MaxaMillion711 was paid to produce this piece. Thus, it is an amateur mix only in the literal sense.
Damn, FCP in middle school...I had a friend who did word processing on a computer that had this jobby "Windows 1.0" operating system when I was in middle school. 'Nuff said. I hear you and agree completely with your philosophy. I do a lot of editing myself (FCP) and am not all that impressed with fx-for-fx-sake. What you did was tell a story and heighten the emotion of the moments portrayed. Great use of a theatrical musical score and well timed edits to the punctual moments. Bravo.
