A video montage of the Chicago Cubs in the 2008
season played along with Def Leppard's Animal. I chose
Animal because it's my favorite song of all time. The song also has an uplifting effect, going to Wrigley Field
has an uplifting effect.
The video and the editing isn't the best but I still put it together just the way I wanted to.
The theme of this video isn't highlighting the top plays and games from 2008, it highlights the moms and dads
spending a day or night at Wrigley with their sons and daughters. It also highlights of the usual activity
that occurs in and around the ballpark before, during, and after the game. Altogether the video enshrines
the experience fans get from the ballpark. Enshrining the experience of buying a program, the foam finger,
the food, the Harry Caray statue, the promotional event handed out at the gate, watching batting practice, finding your seat seeing the Cubs win, so on and so forth. Tell me what you think!

Someone spent a lot of time on it, but
I thought there would be, you know, Cubs highlights.
It was almost 1/2 way done before there were any Cubs appearing — and at the 2:30 point, Dave Kaplan was in there longer than any Cub combined. As were Marlins taking batting practice. It went magically from a night pregame to a day game.
Plus, that walk-off hit gave me motion sickness . . . .

Ok, now I read the fanpost
You should add that description here — then people would know what to expect.
The way that you described it in the fanpost, it’s ok. The fanshot (as of this writing) doesn’t say what the video is about; it implies that it’s Cubs highlights.
