Director of 'Arrival Of The Trojan,' Flint Tanquary, has been a fan of USC and attended the games since he can remember. Now, his passion and talents have showcased the school in a different type of national spotlight.

His idea turned reality was nominated for a Los Angeles Area Emmy, as posted on the football team's social media account. The 'Arrival Of The Trojan' went viral at the time and was considered one of, if not the best, hype videos in the history of college football.

Capturing the true iconic nature of the Coliseum and fighting spirit of what it means to be a Trojan, the trailer does an excellent job of blending the past stories of the university that now has USC standing where it does in terms of global relevance with the modern features that keep it a premier destination.

The creativity of Tanquary and support from Sony to bring the video to life shattered the bar in this realm of videography. Deservingly, this will now always have to be referred to as 'Emmy-nominated Arrival Of The Trojan, if not the winner of the award itself one day.

This is a further example of why the best come to USC. To be able to produce top-quality content like this that continues to give people goosebumps while watching demonstrates what is possible at this school and the type of people that are attracted to share their talents with the wider Trojan community.

It received its crowning moment before the LSU game when the trailer was played at the Coliseum itself. In the video, the Trojan warrior dropped from the plane and landed on the field, ready for battle. For Tanquary's vision to be the precursor for the football team entering the field for their matchup against the Tigers, it provided a fitting chapter in the story of USC.
