Fox Sports Design

Every year we seem to do an All-Star campaign that features shooting a boatload of players and hoping for the
best when we get back into the edit bay. This year was no exception. The brief called for showing the players
having fun and to incorporate San Francisco and cable cars. Done and done. Technically, it was a bit of a bear.
We had to film the players on green screen in their Florida and Arizona training camps, then months later film
plates in San Francisco, and then composite it all together to appear that the players were actually riding around
in San Francisco. A second major challenge was that while we were in the edit and composite stage, players
had to be constantly swapped out due to injury or poor performance that would make them ineligible to be all stars.
Special thanks to Olivier, Tibo, and the team at BUF for making us once again look like we (almost) know what
we’re doing.
