How would everyone feel that after this season, that a group of the best video splicers in the business (not me of course) update Fatty's classic Birth of K-State Football video?

Update the stats, add new footage from last season and this season, and a bigger part of this is try and see what it would take to get the rights to everything so that the video could be shown at K-State football games.

I guess the first question is should it be touched?

Discuses. I am good at coming up with ideas but would not have the time to organize the whole thing. I would love to hear your input.

I would be in favor.

At the very least it would be cool to update our record vs Texas, Oklahoma, top 5/10 teams, etc.

And there used to be a scrolling list of FBS teams' win% since 1993 or whatever at the very end of the video, to bookend the list at the beginning where KSU is "dead last....by far"

only if you keep the Prince stuff

Same concept, but I agree w/ OKCat, do something new...let Fatty's masterpiece remain unscathed.

My general rule when it comes to music is that if a song is good enough to be covered, it should never be covered...Fatty's vid should live in it's greatness untouched.

there are people here who are sensible enough to do the work justice, but it would be very difficult to add 3 successful seasons in the span of the song.

They've had to retouch the sistine chapel, no reason to not update The Birth as long as it's done by people qualified to do so.

=mods?=, can we kill him yet?

Why not just do a sequel that isn't a sequel, so that they fit seamlessly when played back to back? Don't eff with the original, but if a follow up vid I would be in favor of.

Edit: Sequel that's a sequel meaning don't say the birth continued or whatever, just a stand alone video that picks up where the birth left off.

The most qualified person on this board to answer this question is Kat Kid.

I think doing a new one is fine too.

The ReBirth of KSU Football, set to Beautiful Day by U2.

I was thinking "After-Birth"...

If you want to do it as a tribute, make a new one for this season with prophetic fatty posts spliced between video of their fullfillment.

"storm"nut · « **Reply #16 on:** November 15, 2012, 12:38:22 PM »

reading everything seems to me a continuation with a second video would be the way to go. After all the original did not have any of Snyder 2.0 in it. Again I am just coming up with ideas, in no way am I qualified to do any of the actual work.

Going to be hard to find a song/songs that capture the vibe so perfectly as the Nat followed by Where the streets have no name

Who has all his source video? That would be an incredible legacy to pass on.

Please rename thread title to, "A proposal: fatty tribute vid".

As one of the most prolific KSU fan youtubers of all time, it is only fitting that fatty's fans immortalize him in youtubedom forever.

Start with an intro to fatty, and his fanhood (maybe some wabashing). Throw in some KSU history. Show some game footage of the team working through their pre-destined season with a fatty quote sprinkled in here and there. Wrap it up with quotes about fatty from elites/media types and fade out to canco's fatty angel on black with the birth/death years below it.

Only one song will do:

I dare you to listen to that whole song while thinking about the fatty tribute video and not cry like a little schoolgirl.
