Not-So-Hype Videos

[ChinaDogSunflower]

I've yet to see a "hype" video that has gotten me ready ready. I get excited because football is back but it feels like there has been little to no intensity, or even passion in the videos I've seen.

Has anyone else felt this way? Has this been discussed and I missed it?

I get that we want to promote the gameday party atmosphere, but every video has been so aloof. The florida video, after a loss no less, should have been a great rally push, but nope, just a dinky casual party push. #NeedMoorIntensity.

Any and all thoughts are welcome.*

2014 was when they were the best and it’s not just because we were number one. I haven’t really paid them much attention since then

The post-LSU video that year is probably the best thing our media department has ever put out.

What happened? The team not matching those heights? Derek Cody is full time on staff, correct?

I just want to know what changed. AD's with different foci/focusses? (Apparently those are both correct.)

Apparently they can no longer do videos with licensed music. That has hurt them a good bit, although I still feel they could do better even so.

ETA: I’m not sure it’s a Cohen thing. We put out some fantastic videos during this last basketball and baseball season, and the pre-Alabama game video with the Gary Clark Jr. version of “Come Together” last football season was great. Things have just taken a noticeable dip this athletic year.

I feel like our hype videos have the same music every week. It’s like the Batman theme song or something. It’s really terrible tbh. 2014 season was awesome. Do better, MSU.

Agree, but the Smoot video today from 247 was the ****.

Without a doubt.....I may have legitimately watched that video 100 times.

Cohen cut the budget.... heck Ole Miss has ESPN U showing “The Season” and Alabama has “Rolling with The Tide” on ESPN.

We've had plenty of success to make decent videos. It doesn't take success to make a good hype videos. It takes a production team that knows what the 17 they're doing.

Hell, look at the hype vids that come from the steaming pile of **** in Oxford. Look at the season.

It cannot be that expensive to get some young A/V people that can make a video that gets people excited and has a purpose. Not this doinky picnic ****.
