Description

We\'re developing a tool set or white label app for broadcasters, advertisers and format creators. It should be a generic kit that works for any kind of content and should be activated by Linear TV.

Filming the “Become a football star” episode

Yesterday we filmed the first episode for the exclusive content that will be contained inside the Connected Collecting Application. This episode will be a part of a series of tutorials that will teach young football players how to make awesome football tricks that professionals already do.

We worked with two young football street players, Willem (KNVB specialist) and the Spektor team. Each player was asked to perform one trick. Nick (black shirt) performed the Akka trick approximately 97 times so the camera could get the movements from many perspectives and speeds. Guido (white shirt) performed the “kangaroo” trick. We also got several shots of them just playing, freestyling and having fun.We got really great shots from different angles, and we are quite sure that the slow motion will rock!   For a moment, some kids witnessed the filming and were really impressed about the player’s skills. They were a great public, and even ask the player for their autographs. This is one great hint that we are moving in the right way in order to attract kids into our concept.

The next tasks that we need to do to finalize the episode are to edit of course and integrate the voice over. We will be doing so in the next couple of days. We are looking forward for the final result.
