Something new from your ESPN connection......

[Swan269]

I have been chosen to cut "NFL Images of the Year" and we have a couple of cool possiblities....

case 1-since u2 and the NFL have something worked out the producer and I had have the opportunity (maybe) to use any songs from U2's catalogue. One of the reasons that I was chosen to edit the montage is that I have all of the versions of many of the songs. This possibility is still in the works....oh yeah and one stipulation is either the NFL, the band, or the bands management would have to OK it for it to run.

case 2-we don't get to use as many U2 songs as we want so ESPN gets 1 or 2 songs cleared and then the band, NFL, management wouldn't have to see the piece in order for it to get cleared.

I, for one, want to use case 1 because I already made a song plan for the alloted 3 and a half minutes......either way I will be cutting it and a U2 song will be used.

more updates as I hear and do more...I will start putting it together next Thursday.

Are you as excited by this as you should be??!! That sounds so very cool! And you get to "work" for the band in a roundabout way.

I'd like to request that the amount of Detroit Lions exposure in that clip be minimized.

And Panthers. And Packers!

Lots and lots of Bears footage. Always Da Bears.

I don't know, maybe some vintage footage with Coach Wayne Fontes on the sidelines could be meaningful...

 

[speedracer]

So far I've heard Desire, Elevation, Until the End of the World and now In God's Country being used for NFL promos. Interesting.

The Bills deserve what they got this season after the way they treated Doug Flutie last season.

I've really tried to like the Lions (I grew up in Detroit), but there's not much you can say for a franchise that sucks so badly that it drove Barry Sanders into a career as a Coors pitchman.

I think it's very likely that if case 1 becomes the reality, the band will approve the song you choose -- even if it's a bit obscure or old -- because you love U2's music which will help you cut an amazing piece to whatever song of theirs you choose.

Edit: Actually, it occured to me that my above statement would only be true if the band were able to see your finished piece before making a decision. Bummer.

Good luck and thanks for keeping up posted.

Have you thought about using "Bass Trap" or "Endless Deep"?

I think "Acrobat" would work quite well in an NFL montage.

 

[zonelistener]

Make sure to show the Bears getting slapped by the Eagles!

Lot's of Brett Favre and something from Randy Moss' great season!

woohoo! go EAGLES!!! (i might live in NY, but i'm a Philly girl at heart.)

Swan269: this is so awesome for you!! be sure to keep us posted on any developments... i hope things work out the way you'd like!!

 

[sulawesigirl4]

A Celebration.

That song rocks!

 

[ouizy]

I really think it would be cool if you use a kind of obscure U2 song so many of the longtime fans would get a kick out of it.

 

[mikal]

Make sure you show the Packers while playing "Even Better Than The Real Thing."

I perhaps was going to use the drone like sound of "Mothers......" for the events on 9/11......the producer and I both want to use the acoustic "Stuck" to address the death of Korey Stringer....I will know more on Tuesday.

Beatiful Day is on the Baltimore Ravens World Championship Video released this past year. They actually always play it during home games too!
And the Ravens will be in the Super Bowl this year too, so it would be a good fit.

Korey Stringer: I suggest One Tree Hill

That would be beautiful and moving.
Good luck on your exciting U2 project, you lucky fan!

 

[mikal]

I think Beautiful Day would work real well if you used it with a bunch of quick snips of plays.

Streets would work too.
