Inspired by Jorge?

In fact JG is given closing credits. Well done spot.

Awesome. Thanks. I somehow missed the JG acknowledgment in the close...

Very cool video. Nice to see such improvement.

Very well done. Excellent production values and compelling message. Really a step up over what we've done in the past.

I wish some video editing whiz could get the representative scenes (to encapsulate the same emotion and message) from this video and condense into a 30-second commercial. Replace the old and tired, "You-see-Berkeley," spot.

My guess, we'll see just that...

That is great stuff.

Very nice, but where's the "Berkeley.represent"?

("jk", but I'm curious for what audience this is intended... are we now trying to get the "Cal" name spread outside of NorCal? sorry, I don't mean to make this into another what-should-our-brand-be-called thread... very nice spot... does she really play the cello, too?)

Wow, wasnt expecting to like it but i got goosebumps

Was thinking of you HD as you've had Jorge's quote in your sig for quite a while.

Man, I really like that mentality, and have lived it much of my life; and it has served me very well, I'm happy to say...

We should have such a thread on the basketball board too, more so even I suppose. You'd be an ideal person to start one there, if desired of course...

This video was played yesterday at the Bear Backer lunch at the Claremont.
Maggie spoke, after the the video was shown, closing out the event.
She spoke a bit about her relationship with Ted Agu, very touching.

This is a young lady that could achieve anything she wants.
She is a credit to our University!

My god, that is so far superior to "UC Berkeley," I can't imagine the same people created both. I would like to see that in the commercial timeouts, instead of that stale "Berkeley" ad. It is awesome!!!!

BTW, the Lakers could sure use Jorge.

Outside of the Cal community, the quote is widely attributed to the pro teen surfer who had her arm bitten off by a shark in Kauai ten years ago, then re-learned how to surf with one arm.

It's an uplifting quote either way.
