AFL show opener

The show opener, bumpers, wrap around and other promo material were shot in an Arena and Theater in Stockton CA. With a limited amount of extras we used old Hollywood style tricks of under lighting and back lighting to make the arena seem full of screaming fans. There were literally dozens of versions shot to accommodate various team uniforms, and logos. ESPN was prepared with a full season of "match ups" for the various teams. Our responsibility was then to represent each of those match ups with graphic elements that were shot live along with ESPN branded graphics. Also note the over the top hits and tackles, all the stunt work was shot on site using wires.
