TrueRaiderLaker Productions #6 - The Untamable Beast - Khalil Mack


How do you guys like my subliminal post last night? Well, that was intended to give QBs who are about face the "Mack Attack" nightmares for the upcoming 2016 NFL Season. Funny about today, the NFL dedicated this day to Khalil Mack by naming it #MackMondays. For those who don't do social media a lot, every weekday, the NFL puts a player on a spotlight. #FitzFridays was an example last week where Friday was dedicated to a whole lot of things dedicated to Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals. This Monday was all dedicated to Khalil Mack, hence the #MackMondays going on in the NFL's social media pages. I didn't intend to upload this video during today, but it's truly an honor to coincidentally upload this Khalil Mack video during #MackMondays.

If I could make this video 1,000 times, there would be no doubt in my mind that this is how you would make this when a beast like Khalil Mack broke out last season, racking up 15 sacks, tied a franchise record for 5 sacks against the Denver Donkeys, and became the first player to be named 1st team All-Pro playing two different positions at Defensive End and Outside Linebacker. How I wanted to make this video is that I wanted it to be intense, powerful, and violent. In hindsight, I wanted to make a theatrical-style epic video fitting for the beast that is Khalil Mack. I looked through every epic music soundtracks that I know of, ranging from Audiomachine, Two Steps From Hell, Immediate Music, and Epic Score. And I landed a good soundtrack of "Untamable Beast" by Epic Score. To be honest, I probably listened to the soundtrack a million times and just pictured an epic Khalil Mack video to the music. This video signals another stepping stone for my editing skills, but as always, I still have a long ways to go. Enjoy the video.

*If you guys are new to my blog, you'll notice that I rarely post during May. This is the time where my blog gets a break from the games and the offseason news until the NBA Finals and then eventually through the NFL Preseason. Don't worry though. I'll keep providing some more TrueRaiderLaker Productions multimedia content when I have the time to put in work for another project. I'll see you guys later.*
