High School Football Frenzy Open 2006
After having used the previous open for something like three years, a new open for our Friday night football coverage was probably overdue. This is a major part of the station’s sports coverage, and a major sponsorship to boot, so it’s worth a little bit of extra effort. In what may be the ultimate expression of testosterone, there are few normal transitions in this open - but there are plenty of explosions! Click to see the video, along with a brief tutorial for fellow Avid editors out there, on how to blow stuff up real good in a digital kind of way. From a more straightforward video perspective, the football’s white stripes came out transparent; I think that was a goof in the graphics department, but I liked the stylized football. Besides, there’s an awesome montage running in the background, cut to the music bed, and the “open stripes” let you see more of it.
