The Process
NBA Countdown is the pre-game show that airs prior to each game on ABC and ESPN. Revolving around the Larry O’Brien championship trophy, the premise of the idea was to film vignettes of gold clad props and scenery that could be used for montages to craft intro videos for the show.
Art direction was the focus of the project, from props to make up to the building of a regulation size half court, the set up was paramount. Filming against a black backdrop, all the gold glistened in all it’s luster. This project employed a full crew in art, make up and hair, camera, and grip and lighting.
