Awesome work. Like the memories of our first go round with the Rags.

What video making program do you use?

Loved the video.

As for the music - I don't get pumped up with that tune.

I don't have any idea how to do the video, but could you try it with this song?

Creative endeavours are not easy. Constructive criticism goes a long way toward improving product, but keep in mind the amount of effort and energy that goes into creating something like this. It's not just picking and replacing a song. It's finding clips that go well with the music, editing them appropriately, transitioning between clips in a non-awkward way, finding a cool look or atmosphere to give the imagery that extra punch, creating a mood...

Anyone can take video clips, slap them together and put music over top of it. To do something like this takes a bit more effort than that. And to suggest just 'replacing the song' is nowhere near as simple as you might think. But I'd invite you to give it a try – since it's you who wants it, why not try your hand at it? At best, you'll learn a lot about the minutiae that goes into this kind of editing and you'll have a new final product you can be proud that you made. At worst, you'll be no further ahead but you'll have a better understanding of how tricky this kind of video can be.

Keep doing your thing, Deku. This video was damn solid.

That's perfectly fine. I can only imagine how hard it must be to do these videos.

I'll need some tips - how do you get the clips? Do you just pull them from youtubes? Can you use Imovie to do them?

My experience is at creating commercials for soccer, and what I did is come up with ideas - and have others implement them. Those who can do, those who can't - coach :)

Of course finding a song that appeals to the masses is near impossible, and I'm sure if I did one using the Kasabian song, there would be others who make the same comments about the music - but no one can complain about the actual video. That was a beautiful montage.

I got I got I got ..... the feels.

Love the video and the music. Kendrick is so money. Finally I can see two things I love in hip hop and hockey. Unfortunately I don't think its something that the majority will like.

Hip hop fits really well with BBall and Football, but those fanbases are... different....

Since when is saying Good Effort a bad thing :shakehead I also said I like the video.... and certainly was not negative... my comment about the music is totally personal taste. I think its great someone takes the time to do this. Your making trouble where there is none

Thanks for this. I was going to respond to "try this song instead" but I didn't because I felt I would be too rude. Especially because he didnt have bad intentions. You put it into words better than I could :)
