Finally got it done. Thanks to everyone for all the kind words on all the videos. It's been an honor to share them all with you. Can't wait for next season!
Please share on facebook, twitter (i'm @jsalsLA), everywhere!!
That was amazing! All the emotions came back. Great work jmsalsa!
One thought, when you get the official sound byte of Bob Miller calling the game (whenever that comes out), you may want to replace the one from the radio show. Just a thought.
I am a wordy individual. I have often been described as verbose. This is because I find it important to accurately convey what I am thinking and being beholden to the English language this ties me to using as many specific words as possible to accurately convey what I feel.
After watching your first three videos, this one truly surprised me. I fully expected you to increase the intensity as the emotions increased through the playoffs ... but you took it in the opposite direction.
I find myself searching for the words that can illuminate what swirls inside me ...
"amazing" is inadequate
...
"touching" is distant
...
"astounding" is lacking
...
"wonderful" debases the subject matter
...
"tremendous" paints a picture stunningly derelict compared to what you've done
...
"heartfelt" ... is ... surprisingly close
I feel a care and attention in these videos that I can relate to. The words "thank you" fall so shockingly short it seems nonsensical to even say them.
All I can say is that when people ask me to describe the playoff performance of the 2012 LA Kings I can point them to your videos ...
... and then deeply hope that they understand the emotions we all feel.
Bob's call right at the end and the countdown really got me. Watch all the videos in increasing order. It is just flat out awesome. Really Well done. Lets do it all again next year.
I am literally in tears. I think this is the first playoff montage I've seen that truly captures the emotions of the thing. Most just end with a few brief snapshots of cup hoisting and the team photo with some sort of celebratory music, but your choice of music, the way it built up, and the voice overs made it much, much better. I could feel the emotions at the end of this one and for that I thank you. I've been waiting to see a video that really makes me feel the way I did in the moment and I should have known it would come from you.
