ART DIRECTION
I’ve had the luxury of Art Directing the NBA on ESPN for 5 years, primarily through the Lebron era. A total career gift and pleasure. The excitement I feel when I type that is real. Its energizing. That said, 5 years is a long time and this reel summarizes my last rodeo on that production. I can’t complain as I’ve had it pretty good.
This reel showcases our efforts to give the FINALS a new look this past year. The intention is for this look to live for Conf. Finals and NBA FINALS for 2015 & 2016. The environment showcases some dimensional glass ceilings and intense team designs (worldscapes). The dimensional setting is actual a detailed model of the star in the finals logo, and we’re putting all of our designs within the star. If you look at the roof you’ll notice the relationship.
