Opinions on the CGI (Animated) Elephants on J'trons?

[DemTide]

I have seen it mentioned occasionally in posts here and there, but I was wondering the board's overall opinion of the animated elephants that appear on the jumbotrons. I believe they play it on 3rd downs, but I could be wrong. the clip I am talking about is the one that has 2 or 3 elephants and each has red and white all over their faces (warpaint I guess...?). Now that the home schedule is over and most everyone has had a chance to see it this year, what is your opinion of this clip?

Ill wait and give my opinion after a few posts...

Found the vid, and yes, I like it.

Fact is as much as tradition remains the same, the expression of that tradition can and will change.

Sorry, I hate the animated elephants. The paint makes them look more like circus elephants, and the way they move looks like those frame-by-frame claymation TV Christmas characters. Last year's intro was awesome IMO.

I like the elephants. Much better than the one that does its scream/whatever it's called after the video says, "This is Alabama football!"

I love them. I would like to see them used more next year.

I think we should start a petition to have the war elephants replace the numerals on the side of our helmets. Our new WHITE helmets! :biggrin2:

Wow! I haven't been to a game this year so that was my first time seeing it! Absolutely love it- got chill bumps on top of chill bumps. Thanks for sharing!

One of the better intro videos we've ever had.

Love them!!

Love them, they look like they're wearing war paint...

The elephants were O.K....
I hated the zooming in and out on the down marker on 3rd down. I thought that was corny in a funny way.

I like the ones in the intro video as well.

The one being used on third downs in conjunction with "Hell's Bells", however, needs some more work. While it is good, it only use two elephants in the clip on a short and continuous loop that doesn't quite match up with the ringing of the bell. Still, a good way of pumping up the crowd on those critical 3rd down plays.

I like this video, but agree that the third down elephant needs A LOT of work.

I guess I'm in the minority on this one, but I thought they were a bit too cheesy and over-the-top. I found them (and the actual crimson tide) more funny than inspiring. I liked last year's ringing the bell video with the 'Get ready to Roll Tide' words on it better.
