Nike Football
Texas Tested
Everything’s bigger in Texas, including high school football. We created two hype videos to capture the magic and energy of the state championship.
The Challenge
In Texas, high school football is king. Our goal in collaborating with Nike to create two hype videos was to keep fans immersed in the gameday experience of the Texas High School State Championship at AT&T Field, from the first quarter to the final whistle.
Our Solution
Each video was less than a minute long. The constraint required tight editing of interviews with Kyler Murray, Jamal Adams, and Solomon Thomas interspersed with game footage. It was also essential to create a cohesive narrative that spanned four quarters. We captured the nerves and excitement of kickoff through crowd-noise and reflections by veteran players, and the power of the fourth quarter was represented with smash cuts to create a fast-paced narrative leading to an essential question: “Can you finish?”
