So the Chalmers clan are running PR both in Nottingham and Glasgow. A PR dynasty ha ha. I am guessing they are related. If this guy does a good a job as Gareth Chalmers has done in Braehead we are onto a winner. I am guessing there will be a bit of mutual support. No not related according to our guy cos that's what I first thought.....keeping it in the family. Ah OK. I hope Gary leaves him to it. Maybe we will finally move into this millennium.

That is very good. I wonder if it's the same guy that was constantly criticised on here for being too positive last season. I seem to remember it being everyone else being criticised for not supporting properly, but yes I believe it's the same chap. Personally I could live without the clichéd slow motion skate sharpening shot, but it's not bad and the music and video do at least compliment each other.

Personally I did find it irritating that every loss was wrapped in rainbows but it was an improvement on previous years. If we get a bit of balance it would be great.

That fan made 'intro' is good for nothing but a Pre-season Preview. Not high enough tempo for the game introduction and the video is too long for the jumbotron, of which the quality would be poor anyway.
It's a great advertising piece and something that only works well on a computer or phone screen. Show a few newbies or people who have never been, that video and it'd likely spark interest.
As for the actual intro song, Thunderstruck is leading the way as it stands. Not elated but not disappointed, just too generic.

Bit harsh PantherB. Personally the more I listened to it the more I liked it. Hope the exposure on here and other fb pages gets it looked at by Panthers. Sorry but alot better than some of the videos in the past (apologies if this offends anyone).

Sorry but alot better than some of the videos in the past (apologies if this offends anyone). He actually says it's a "great" video, but just not for an intro which is in my opinion 100% correct. It's a cool video, but that music would be terrible for an intro video, it's not the right tempo and build up at all. Also the limitations on the jumbotron are something to factor in. To get an idea of how it would work in the arena, just put your speakers in water and set youtube to the lowest resolution AND watch from the otherside of the room. That's basically how you have to design the video to be watched, not in 1080p on your ipad. PS. It was an awesome video and I'd love if the Panthers did create more content along those lines.

Thunderstruck is terrible for an entrance song. No way to clap to it, to slow and I seriously doubt that fans will chant Panthers when it says Thunder either as some have suggested.
Best options on available are GnR and Nickleback.

That's basically how you have to design the video to be watched, not in 1080p on your ipad. PS. It was an awesome video and I'd love if the Panthers did create more content along those lines. I created the video based around the technology of the jumbotron. I do however agree that the quality on the tron is poor and needs replacing as soon as possible, unfortunately on this case, that isn't something the Panthers can ask for. For anybody who doesn't know how the jumbotron works, it only has the ability to play videos that are 40 seconds long in duration. At the end of the first 40s clip, it will take a break (between 0.5 and 5 seconds) and play the second video, this is why our intros always have a mid section which blacks out. This makes it impossible for us to have our intro videos synced with music as one week it may work perfectly and the next it will look/sound silly. Saying that, I only created the video as a 'concept' idea of what I believe would be a decent intro for OUR jumbotron/arena, I didn't expect it to be shared around. I do agree that I could have picked better music to suit but I wanted to try something different than the usual rock/techno stuff. I have been in contact with the Panthers media team and they're great people and know what they're doing, I'm assured that this seasons intro will be bigger and better, they didn't have much time to create one last season and had to rush it. TLDR; Our intro video will always technically be poor until we replace the jumbotron, even if we hire the best in the business to create videos #limited

I had a hell of a season being positive and I didn't take any of the criticism too serious. However, I've started to learn why the more experienced fans get swizzled off/negative/upset as they know what to expect from the Panthers by now. I'll be less vocal about my views this upcoming season on this forum but I'll continue to push my case towards the Panthers hierarchy that the atmosphere needs looking at. I do believe that by letting the fans choose the intro music, they have started to take notice though. p.s. I'm liking the look of the new marketing guy, seems to be quite passionate about the role at least.

Thanks for those two posts titch, very informative, and may also shut a few people up for a short while.

We have video for the intro music. I have just been watching "Stop the Rock" video by Apollo 440. I reckon its one of the best on youtube. Why not put the videos on the central screen before the matches?

The screen can only do 30 seconds before it has to have a sit down and a cup of tea.
