I also have a multimedia/marketing company geared towards non entertainment businesses in the works called Red Apples (take ex pine out of expiredpineapples) - so it gets more confusing.

ah Kblaze, an old school video, back when you used to try.
it's awesome.
I've noticed a lot of times people try to be too dramatic when they're making basketball mixes. attention YouTube community: not EVERY highlight reel requires the use of the Requiem for a Dream theme. these videos are able to be awesome without seeming forced and pretentious. the choice of music always feels natural. and the editing isn't forced onto the beat, it seems like it almost settles onto it naturally.

I couldn't agree with you more. The thing I try to teach people is good editing is invisible editing.
Kblaze (along with Shai and Yink Dare) are the first people to make nba mixes popular on the internet but Kblaze deserves most of the credit b/c of how many he made. He would post a great post and then attach a 5 minute video to prove his point.
I probably have the most popular video using that Requiem For A Dream theme (the one everybody including myself actually uses is the LOTR2 version of the RFAD score and mine was actually edited so it's funny when I hear other mixes using the exact version that I made) and I can't stand hearing it anymore. If you check Youtube you will see a sequel to Art of War, a football version, Vince Carter version, and a real funny parody of it made by the brilliant Birdman.
I'm also responsible for spawning all of the bad "film/trailer NBA mixes" and probably what you call the forced and pretentious mixes and there's a lot of them....but I don't consider any of mine to be that way.

I remember the first videos I ever saw anywhere were on little streetball sites with 10-15 members and all of them were about Vince Carter, Jordan, or Kobe. Thats it. Vince, Jordan, and Kobe. First video I made was with those low quality oldschool NBA.com avis that used to be all over the place. I quickly got bored of the same 3 players though and I guess everyone else did too. Yinka and Shai started branching out to older players and once id figured out how to find what id need thats about all I did. Of about 140-150 videos I bet 100 of them are players who are retired or at leasy way past their primes.
Im doing one now on 4-5 people all of which are retired and 2 are basically blacklisted from the league. I like to get at least one "Oh I remember" in whenever I can. I suppose it gets odd at times though. Ive done a Manute Bol video but not a Wade one....
