Any video professionals? I work for a collegiate athletics department, where one of my many duties is creating intro videos for teams (the thing that's plays on a video board ahead of games). Our baseball coach was of the type that believes they know what looks best on video instead of the guy paid to do it.

He wants old highlights, footage of pro players, a voiceover, text, etc. All of which looks bad and very, very cheesy. Music choice was less than stellar. I tried to change his mind but as the deadline grew I eventually decided, okay, I'll do it how you want.

Cue it's first showing...the team laughed at him. Loudly. Not at the video, but at him, cause they knew it was his idea...and you could hear it throughout the stands. Several opposing teams did as well when they saw it.

Next season, much more conciliatory when it came time to do the new one...
