Well I kept including pieces of it in my earlier fanshot before I decided to put it together into anything, but I've spent a very significant ammount time on this now so I can't resist making a fanpost, sorry
Well, I made it in Adobe After Effects. Each clip is from a photo, such as this one for hamilton, and just taken from there with Photoshop and AE.
Youtube is having some crazy HD audio issues so view the HD at vimeo, though I do appreciate youtube comments/ratings.
Here is a downloadable copy if you feel so inclined.

Wow
This needs to be on TV. Great work.

Alright
I’ve got two different ones… I added a hat and a ball, and on the second I added the Rangers logo as bling.
I think the bling might be a bit much, but I’m not sure. Second opinion anyone?

That was awesome!
Are you planning on doing any more?

Of what in particular?
This same commercial setup with different players? Probably not unless I had some real reason to. Or I get really bored. If we sign sheets I’ll add him =p
I will inevitably do more rangers graphics/art stuff though, thats kind of a constant.
the preceding post was a great success.

Thanks for all the comments!
This is the first thing I’ve put on youtube, does anyone know if you can update a video without losing views/comments (not that I have any)?
Fixed several small glitches and improved some timing/audio, but I don’t want it to be a new page..
the preceding post was a great success.

I wish I had the photoshop talents of DaShep..
I’d do me up an image of Nolan Ryan on a chariot with a whip. Kevin Millwood pulling it (sweating profusely) maybe holding onto his golf clubs and perhaps Robin Ventura’s head in a headlock in Ryan’s non-whip hand.

Pretty Awsesome Stuff.... For sure.
I am on my way to the Cowboy game, but that just got me fired up for same BASEBALL.
Nice work, up high.

:::Topic updated to include a download link:::
slightly tweaked version, casually watching it there might not be obvious differences but I cleaned up some weird things (black edges on a baseball, could see some of wash behind himself, stuff like that) and adjust the audio. plus no sync issue.
the preceding post was a great success.

Greatness
Your skeeyillz continue to impress. Maybe good ol’ Chuck can get this on the Jumbo-Tron this coming year.
Can’t wait for any new .gif’s on the GameDay Threads (and of course my fave the Cruz Missile .gif) to make their debut…Damn I can’t wait for the season to start!
What's the rumpus?

"so I can't resist making a fanpost, sorry"
The next person that apologizes for posting awesome stuff [this is the definition] is going to get a kick to the taint.
Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

Absolutely outstanding.

And it also made me a bit sad to hear Victor's voice at the beginning.

hey dshep
do you have one place where all your stuff is concentrated or where some of it is
like photobucket or anything?

well
What I’ve been wanting to do is make a website for all that stuff and an occasional blog and other ideas I have, actually have done some work getting it prepared and have stored up a few things I havnt shown, but I’m currently stuck on picking a domain name =p
I closed my photobucket from public access for a couple reasons, though I might open it since its better organized now. If I dont make the website.
the preceding post was a great success.

Website domain
How about “behondtheawesomenessofDShep.com”?

I want to see more too… but I understand there really is a limit to how much you’d want to do it, or even really be able to do with it. It is remarkable though. Definitely belongs on TV.
