These two videos are dedicated to all the non-sports fan snobs who I ever debated who said that sports wasn’t “art”.
I have no idea who Aaron Scoll is, but like Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Mother Teresa before him… by putting this montage together… he has made the world a better place!
This is Aaron Scoll, the guy who made these two videos. I decided to do a random google search of my name and this link came up. I just wanted to say thank you for the kind words and recognition. I’m glad you appreciated and enjoyed the two videos i made. I spent a lot of time and effort on them, and it’s good to see that other people feel that my time and effort was well spent. Thank you once again! Keep an eye out for more of my videos in the future! There should be some more coming soon. ajscoll@hotmail.com
Hey, what’s up Aaron and these are two great pieces of work. I could tell you put a lot of time in them just looking at how the video and music are in such great sync. I could make a request: please put a montage together for Bernard King. I could only find a few pretty lame links on the net. But nobody remebers just how great he was for those three years before he blew out his knee. He needs your marketing skills to remind folks.
I’ll see what I can do. The hardest part for me when making videos is just finding all the clips to use. Putting them to go along with the music is hard and time consuming, but finding the material can sometimes be the hardest part. I agree though, Bernard King is often times overlooked. He is deserving of a tribute video and I promise you I will do all that I can to give him justice. Any suggestions you have as far as song choice and so forth would be welcomed!
Given your style, I might suggest something like Carmina Burana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m_iOBDlUh0 which cuts the work down to 2 minutes and 34 seconds. There is some stuff on youtube on BK but a whole lot of good stuff is missing. i will look around for more footage and would send it to you if I find it.
Here is why the effort is worth it. Had BK not blown out his knee we would all be discussing him in the same 80s group as we discuss Magic, Bird, and Isiah. he and Ewing would have had multiple rings and BK would not only be in the Hall, but we would be discussing him as one of the greatest small forwards in NBA history. Anyone who thinks that i am embellishing simply did not watch this man night in and night out for those three seasons. We need to put him back on the NBA map and hopefully into the hall… Your skills just might boost the cause
The only thing is, unlike Magic, he wasn’t flashy, and won’t necessarily make for oohs and aahs on a video. But he had as good a mid-range jumper as ANYONE who has played this game. Super quick release made it unstoppable…, impeccable body control and balance too.. Game 5 “showdown in Motown” with Isiah was legendary… don’t get me started…
Is this the Aaron Scoll who has only one sister and her name is Sarah?
