So I have been able to watch the webcasts of the last four UCWS games. It inspired me to watch parts of the highlight video of last year tonight...albeit using a lot of fast forwarding.
I know the video too well.
I don't think I ever really explained the ending of it. It was artistic for me. Figured I would explain it since it was really different.
I liked the song. I didn't over analyze the lyrics. I rarely listen to them. The word "Paradise" is what mattered. Hopefully when the players leave and pop in the video randomly one day they will think back to their years in college and the UCWS program and think of it as paradise.
They should, because college is really some of the best years of your life.
I took every goal celebration from every game and fast forwarded them. Those were happy moments. I also took atleast a huddle or clip from every game no matter result. Every day of the season was represented.
Then I went and put together a clip of every player smiling or laughing. Hopefully when you think of your teammates you think of them laughing and having fun and smiling. I think athletes miss more of the down time and time away from the field with teammates than the games, although they do love the games.
Then I went on to go through all of the goals scored by seniors and or highlights of seniors.
That was a lot of film.
I fast forwarded everything for a few reasons. One was so it would all fit in a timely manner, but mostly the reason it was in fast forward is because time in college and with the program goes by really fast. The whole season feels like it goes by as quickly as the ending of the video. Lastly, when you think back on things, and a career or season, you can only remember bits and pieces of it. You can't remember all of it, and you can't have it back. By fast forwarding the film, you can't see what happened, you only can see bits and pieces of it.
I actually thought about putting a weird meaning into the end of the highlight video. About time I finally explained it.
