While working with The Famous Group we shot and created visuals for the ground breaking Atlanta Hawks open video for the 2014-2015 season, coordinating the end boards, center hung scoreboard, and the newly installed 3D court projection system.  The court footage and the audio are from the Hawks opening game 11/1/14 at Philips Arena.

 

Other court projection projects I had seen seemed to treat the optical illusion fun and the team spirit building and storytelling separately.   I set out to create a court projection that married the medium and the message by incorporating green screen visuals that were shot specifically for the court projection and visual effects that weaved between the players world, the city and the fans.
