It seems like a ridiculous thing to say, but over the last few weeks I can earnestly claim that my favorite filmmaker working right now is the LSU Football social media team.
Sure, Martin Scorcese has an arsenal of filmmaking techniques, Bong Joon-ho has an unparalleled vision, whatever. None of them have slow-mo videos of Joe Burrow walking into a packed stadium while The Rock narrates some badass nonsense that makes me want to run through a wall.
Every hype video is better than the last one, and the morning of the national championship game, they’ve gone and outdone themselves, with a new video called “I Remember Rock Bottom.”
Watch it, then dive through a plate glass window.
My understanding of these two teams, LSU and Clemson, says this game will be closer than people think. But after watching this video, forget it: LSU by a million.
