Fair Warning : Watching this video may cause you to eat lightning and crap thunder.
I thought Episode two was my best work. I was wrong. This is A Tale of Two Cities -- Episode Three, but it really isn't. There was so much amazing that there simply wasn't room for story telling. This is just straight up awesomeness wrapped with Bacon, dipped in butter, and deep fried with gravy. That is how good this is.
I put in over a hundred hours into this project. I had an absolute blast. Hopefully, you will enjoy it as well. There is a special message at the end for all you non-Giants fans who just happen to read this site.
Anyways, Enjoy the video. Turn up the volume. Trust me. Don't forget to Rec this shit. It only takes one click.

List of song names/descriptions, please? I, and maybe some others, would appreciate it.

sounds like everything, except for the song during the parade was from the rocky 4 soundtrack
The last song was not cheesy enough for that movie.
Passgas is pretty much correct
Fanfare for Rocky — Rocky OST
Training Montage — Rocky IV
Going The Distance — Rocky OST
Hearts On Fire Movie Version — Rocky IV
Drago Entrance — Rocky IV
Soviet Anthem (3rd Verse)
War (Movie Version) — Rocky IV
Final Song is the main theme from Forest Gump.

The soundtrack itself bring back memories
I used to play it on my walkman while lifting for high school football.
To think all those synthesizers got me all pumped up. Ahh, the 80’s.
Holy fuck am I old.
Thank you kindly.
Stands to reason I only remembered the very last one, as I have not watched any Rocky movies but have watched Forrest Gump.

Welcome to the club, Cody Ross. You can stay at my house.
just one question,
Who is the ESPN douchebag in the voiceover that was wetting his panties over cliff lee?
Can we email this to him so he can suck on it hard?
Karabell?
According to Eric Holder, Giants Baseball is NOT torture. OK, it is, but followed by a big bowl of ice cream.
Tim Lincecum: He's a biracial angel.
I think it was Howard Bryant
Which is a shame, because that guy is normally very very good. Better than ESPN deserves. As Giants/Bonds fans, everyone here should read his book Juicing the Game.
I absolutely loved the inclusion of all that bad forecasting, JCT.
"The two worst things in football are: 1) They think that a 30-year old professional athlete has to be locked up in a hotel room, with a curfew, the night before a qame; and 2) They're right."

Fortunately, it was not Howard Bryant
It was Karabell. To be fair, I specifically edited parts where he threw himself at Cliff Lee. He was not a GIants hater.
The other guy was Seth Everett. Both taken from ESPN baseball today podcast.

Author, author!!!
jctGamer, that was better than excellent, better than fabulous. You had me laughing out loud at the Zito-Lincecum thing, and tearing up at the Renteria flashback and the Forrest Gump parade. And I just loved the “You can’t win!” part from Rocky.
The pacing was terrific. Beautiful NFL slo-mo zooms. Great Ken Burns still pans. Excellent use of effects and music. Just when the Rocky thing was getting old, you go away from it, then come back later. So much stuff today is too choppy… I really admire the pace of this.
Easily the best sports fan edit I’ve seen. Probably the most amazing fan edit of any type, along with some of the more brilliant trailers for hypothetical movies.
I’ll put this on my phone along with the other two and watch whenever I get a few minutes.

Hey man I really do appreciate that.
I’m not a professional video editor by any stretch of imagination. Heck, I don’t even know how to use masks properly in Premiere Pro / AE. I just try to do the best I can to describe how I felt about this playoffs run, mix in some music and some graphics and tell a story.
The video itself isn’t what’s great. It’s the story and how it touched us through out this magical journey that is great.

Nah
There’s a lot of ways to tell the story. Yours was quite deliberate.
Film editing is a decent career, but of course by no means an automatic one.

Thank you Edgar Renteria, for hitting the ball three feet higher.

We spent a little more money than the other teams mentioned in your finale, so they may take that personally. Besides that I thought it was great, not awesome, but great.

Really great
So many unusual shots that I have no idea where you got them.
Might there be a small sequence error at the end of game 4. At 12:10 Wilson throws strikeout to end game, next scene at 12:23 shows Bumgarner throwing a strikeout? Perhaps they were reversed for artistic value?
That was on purpose. I highlighted the strike outs by Vlad to show just how silly he looked against Bumgarner. It was a “but wait, there’s more!” bonus clip.

The only thing that could possibly make this better is if you were somehow able to change the video american flags in Texas stadium to the soviet union flag when the Soviet national anthem comes on.
But seriously this is your best effort. Congratz on a job well done!

Yes. Very much yes. The Lee/Drago parallels were perfect.
You need to get this guy to score something original for your videos, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_DiCola
Also, at around 19:20, you have a shot of Renteria’s homer from the side. There are a bunch of rally towels, and then…there aren’t. With about two or three seconds more of the beginning of that shot, that could be the greatest .gif of all time. Of all time!
WTF seriously they gave DiCola a Razzie for the the Rocky IV soundtrack? That’s blasphemy. My God.

the epitome of 80's cheesy music.
Its no wonder commercials are starting to reference them now. The sad thing is, that most of the TV audience is too young to understand why its so funny.
It reminds of the movie ‘Boogie Nights,’ where Mark Wahlberg’s character is trying to make the transition from porn to a music career. The song he comes up with has got to be one of the worst ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C9Bng7NPPY
I thought that song was just a joke. I had no idea that it was a real 80’s song until my five year old started watching a old transformers cartoon and heard it playing during an action sequence . Why do I bring that up? I believe Dicola wrote that song.
and if he didn’t, he can certainly take credit for the other horrible songs on that cartoon soundtrack. They make you feel like an airbrushed camaro is going to crash through the living room wall at any moment (or should at least run over me to put me out of my misery).
Of course it is cheesy in retrospec, but that can be said of any era
I think 20 years from now our kids will look back at the lyrics : “FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME! FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!” with a grain of “WTF?”
I have an affinity for movies like Top Gun or Rocky IV. The parallel that I draw in this generation is Independence day. Yeah you could say that it shamelessly gives the audience exactly what it wants, but hey, I’m watching these flicks to enjoy 2 hours of “FUCK YEAH AMERICA.”
The greatest moment in American sports history is not the miracle on ice, it is when Rocky Balboa knocked out Ivan Drago in the 15th round.

The parallel I that i draw in this generation is anything with vampires
Our kids will be saying, “what the hell was going on with all those fucking vampires? You guys are dorky goth turds, go eat some meat and get some sun”
(hey I’m already saying that now.)
You have to admit, the 80’s were special, and because everything was so over-the-top back then, it makes for very easy jokes. Just think about it— big hair, glam rock, heavy metal, rock ballads, miami vice blazers, breakdancing, michael jackson jackets, early MTV, you name it. As maverick would say, it’s a ‘target-rich’ environment.
The louder the fashion statement, the easier it is to make fun of years later (or even sooner if its bad enough). Back then it was cool, but today its looks more like peopleofwalmart.com.
Cheesiness can be used to refer to any decade, but the 80’s is its pinnacle.
It’s okay, we can just tell them Rage Against the Machine sucks. It’s not like we’d be lying.

This was real good, but I still felt like the NLCS video was a bit better, with the Sabean/Spider-Man section, and the editing of game action to “Gonna Fly Now” (especially the section with all the relievers getting outs in Game 6) — really got my blood pumping, you know?
Overall, a terrific series.
I just watched Parts I, II, and III...
Rec’d like a Ferrari Enzo driven by Eddie Griffin!
Hitler was a Dodgers fan.
Fantastic work.
Some of those shots have great camera work, and I’m really curious to know where you got them from. For example, the pregame shots from Game 5 where the bus is pulling up and our heroes are walking into the stadium, with the moving pans behind Romo, and Timmy. Given that it’s all from pre-recorded footage, you do an amazing job of keeping the camera work from getting static, and staying true to the narrative. Major, major kudos.
It’s really obvious that this is a labor of love, and I’m glad that it’s something you feel you can be proud of. You should be.
