UI inspired fields and grids were layered and tracked into footage over other ripped, streaked, and heat distorted elements. Rotoscoped footage was interwoven with custom still photography and 3D reconstructions, compiled to highlight the energy of the players over the duller, more subdued opponents and surroundings.
