video: On the 24th of June - The Story of Harvey's 350th

Beej · Post: # 479462Post **Beej** » Fri 19 Oct 2007 7:59pm

Just a video I've made to commemorate the occasion. This has become a bit of a hobby of mine, so it has.

It was an unbelievable game of football over in Perth. Hard, tough, full of twists and turns - an epic in every sense of the word and a game that will live long in all our memories.

For everything that Robert Harvey has given to our club, it really was a game we dared not lose and thankfully in the end it was a famous victory, one of St Kilda's most important in its history.

Hopefully I captured the passion and emotion that was flowing through our boys that day, as well as the romance of Banger's 350th.

Download, make sure you turn the volume up a bit when you view it and let me know what you think.

That was just fantastic. Another thread asks whether watching a Saints game has ever made you cry. I got a tear in my eye just watching that video.

Thanks.

Great clip,
I really enjoy this type of music, heard it before, cant quite put my finger on the song that played predominantly through it....let us know when you can.

I'm guessing its from an album by E.S. Posthumus called "Unearthed" (its on iTunes if you want to hear the first 30 secs free or buy it). I think i've heard it from one of the Bourne films again...not sure.

Thankyou.
That is just a beautiful movie, I had to work during the game.
Have been, and always will kick myself for not calling in sick that day.

Finally got it!

Requiem for a Tower by "corner stone cues", also goes by the name "Lux Aeterna" from the film Requiem for a Dream.

Turns out I recognised it from an episode of Top Gear,

Brilliant!!!

The last song by the way is "Coming Home" from the movie Local Hero, performed by Mark Knoffler. One of my favorite pieces of music

Beej · Post: # 479702Post **Beej** » Sat 20 Oct 2007 1:02pm

As benengel mentioned the first song is from the movie Requiem for a Dream which, if you haven't seen it, is about four people whose lives spiral way out of control when their drug addictions take over. Stunning movie although extremely frightening. I still haven't managed to sit through it for a second time.

I used the orchestral version by Clint Mansell, it's a very moving piece.

Second tune, as saint66 said, is Coming Home by Mark Knopfler. Newcastle United run out to that at St James' Park, that's where I first heard it and it's always sent a chill down my spine since.

Another thing, Clinton Grybas is now my favourite commentator in the world. His commentary, throughout the whole game but particularly after the final siren, was outstanding. Commetti would've been cracking gags from start to finish - couldn't have that!

That bit of the video just after half time where Staker kicks a goal, Grybas says "the Eagles are coming" and Staker points his finger into the sky in celebration is my favourite bit.

Spent literally an hour cutting it and slowing it down over and over to get the timing with the music just right.

Cheers for the comments, I really appreciate it.

Gilbert's tackle on Kerr is bloody sensational. It's like Kerr is a tackle bag, and Gilbert just slams through him.

RL's interchange of Dal Santo was a piece of brilliant timing ...

And that ball was out

I reckon I've watched it five times OLB. Great stuff.

Glad you're enjoying it.

Hard to tell but the ball did look out. You even hear the crowd start jeering after Dal kicks it.

Around 1.38 into the vid, how clever was Baker? He knows Kerr is going to try to intercept so dummies the handball, waits till Kerr's out of the picture and then gives it off to Joey. Lovely stuff.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! LOVED IT, GREAT STUFF OLB

awesome vid
so wished i'd actually come down to Perth to watch that game.
the saints supporters (i work at a mine in nth wa so very few of us there) gave major stick to the eagles boys!

Brought a tear to my eye, fantastic stuff mate.

Man I hope we can get him a flag before he goes. It'd be nice.

Great Video - some very touching moments.

As for Clinton Grybas, your point is very valid. He has a great natural ability to make "neutral" games far more exciting than other callers of our great game. He oozes passion, is fair, balanced and unbiased. I never heard the call on the day (as I was at Steak out without volume), but that was just stirring stuff.

Your an old gun OLB with the outstanding quality of your video productions. Any chance of Japanese subtitles

LukeL26 and you should be business partners.

bl00dy awesome video!
it took 20mins to download and it was worth it! and im in it also!

careful guys.

OLB has such a huge head already, someone tell him how much they hated it just so he can be brought back down to size...
