We The Fans: Section 250

There's nothing more energetic, more unified than the diehard fans of a sports team. And Chicago Bears fans of a particular section are the epitome of that idea.

About the project

We The Fans is an ESPN documentary series where we produced the opening credit sequence from end to end.

The Process

Inspiration for the video came from Leonardo Delassandri’s Watchtower of Turkey video. The two aesthetics that influenced our approach were movement and transitions. Our gear list included a RigWheels car mount and Freefly Systems camera gimbal. As a result, the gear allowed us to film dynamic shots and smooth movement.

We kept in mind that the sequence was going to be a montage, and we filmed shots with reveals to provide natural transitions in editing.

The Result

The eight episode series aired on April 11, 2017 on ESPN. The series is also available via subscription on YouTube on the official We The Fans website.
