Mason Basketball just posted a very well done hype video on Twitter, narrated by none other than Folarin Campbell. I don’t know how to link to it here, but safe to say the times are changing.

f**k a COVID vaccine, liquify that video and inject it into all my veins, that’ll protect us all. Best video I’ve ever seen from the AD by a country mile. Sweet Jesus.

 

[gmujim92]

That video was effing perfect. Tells the story of the program as more than just 2006, which was so sorely needed. Brilliant work!

It certainly appears that much was done on the "next chapter" including this excellent video before Paulsen was fired. I'm just amazed that the AD was able to keep it all a secret.

There is a clear theme around former players being involved and I f'ing love it.

That’s a beautiful video and links all the basketball alumni(even in the darker periods). The AD might not have hired Tony but they have done an extraordinary job in trying to listen and mend.

Fantastic video. I'm pumped!!!

I hope to be dancing on the court with many of you very soon. After a few people get tackled..lol.

Damn it, these onions are very very strong.

Audio from Campbell that can be recorded over a phone or Zoom session, stock audio, footage from past games, and a drone fly-over that's likely also already on hand.

Very well written and put together, but CDP was let go 8 days ago. How much time do you think a video production team needs to put something like that together?

Your point is valid - but when was the last time a transition like this was coordinated and executed as well as it has been with this one? I can't think never.

I do know they were hiring a video coordinator either last year or the year before. Whoever they hired is doing a pretty good job as content has been much better lately (and by better, I also mean existent).

Jeff O'bier is the video coordinator so he put it together. Folarin was recorded with a script I believe while he was on campus. Something like this only takes a few days.

Came here to say this.

Jeff O'Bier doesn't get enough credit for all the video work he does. It just keeps getting better and better. To crank that hype piece out in a few days, especially when pretty much every single sport on campus is playing their season at the same time due to covid, is pretty impressive.

Why does he do all his video sitting courtside, can't he get a higher vantage point?

Yeah, hiring a second video person made a pretty big difference. Good investment by the department.
