| BACKGROUND |

Extremely ambitious project creating the introduction to the 2013 NBA Finals. What was originally supposed to be 30sec expanded to 2min long while still maintaining the same deadline. During the production we faced electrical shortages and cooling issues during what was an extremely hot summer. This proved to be one of the most difficult projects to complete faced with all these factors.

We had general storyboard with the idea of showing the history of the NBA through CG rotating screens culminating to the then current teams in the Finals. We, the post effects team, added our own ideas as the video length expanded to help differentiate each significant historical Finals as the screens transitioned.
