Eric’s focus narrowed to the barrel of the gun. The small black hole filled his vision. Would he see the bullet as it spun down the barrel? Would the sound of the gunshot reach his ears an instant before impact? Would he even feel the bullet as it crashed into his brain?

Coach has a ton of memorable quotes and it was really hard to narrow it down to just ten, but here are my favorites.

A scene from Episode 20 “Mud bowl” ... very minor changes to illustrate what were Matt Sacracen’s thoughts after the Dillon win. COMPLETED!

Everything in his life hinged on what happened on this field. These one hundred yards of turf. His home, his livelihood…his success or failure. All of it depended upon the outcome of a football game.

Once again, this was not made my me, it was made my TugA. What I love about it is the way it incorporates the whole cast and captures the poigancy of the show. Just beautiful.

great job!
I've never heard Eric's voice until now. Now that I have... wow. I never pictured it to sound like that. It's a very... unique voice. Anyway, great job! You all are making this a hard contest to judge.
Re: great job!
Is his voice a good surprise or bad one? lol. Thanks for the comments.
Re: great job!
I don't know whether it's good or bad, I just pictured it lower that's all. You can't always guess correctly though, right? ;) Oh, and congratulations on being a finalist.
Your best one so far
I really liked how instead of presenting a whole scene in front of the video, you included the speech as part of the video, showing us visually what it was all about. I think this is your best FNL video so far.
Re: Your best one so far
thanks so much! I had fun figuring out how to do that. lol.
Drama!
This made me think of those Superbowl commercials for Nike or Gatorade--especially with the voice-overs. lol. But all that aside, I was really impressed by the editing and how smoothly all the clips transitioned. You've definitely captured an emotion here, and that is the pure, naked love for the game. It makes me want to be apart of the team :)
Re: Drama!
Thanks so much! I had such a hard time deciding what clips to use and since making it, I've thought of other ones I'd like to include. I'm not sure whether to edit or just make an entirely new video.
I also think it would be totally awesome if NBC would at least put a commercial like this on during the Super Bowl. I think they have the rights this year. A smart network would take their little critical darling about football and promote the heck out of it during the Super Bowl, but NBC won't, I'm sure. :::sigh::: I guess I should just be glad they saved it.
WOW! I loved every second of this…
WOW! I loved every second of this video. Wonderful job. Now, if I could only get myself to finally start making own video.... haha.
Re: WOW! I loved every second of this…
thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was so hard deciding what clips to use and I'm already thinking of revising it or making another one.
:)
Amazing... that was very well done!
The editing was great... the music and the scenes. It was filled with so much emotion!
I have never seen FNL, but this really touched the heart. :)
Re: :)
Thanks so much for viewing and commenting. Especially since you aren't familiar with the show. I really appreciate it.
Love it!
I love the song you picked for this, and you picked great audio to include! Great work!
Re: Love it!
I love this song too. I did a little slideshow for my brother's wedding to this music. It's so beautiful. Thanks for commenting.
This was very -very- intense! I…
This was very -very- intense! I love it. I love his speech and all of the hilights you showed in this video. The most heart warming scene is him out there playing football with all of the young'ens. So beautiful! Great job!
Re: This was very -very- intense! I…
Thanks. I love that scene with the kids too. I kept editing that clip but had to leave the game at the end, especially when KC spins the little girl around him. Too cute.
