Much like GreaseBoard, I got a call saying a cable reality TV show needed an opening sequence made. I'm happy to do such projects. In fact, I usually prefer working with actual footage over pure animation.
The director of this sequence is a good friend of mine. He and I made Mr. Bellpond, a piece that won two Student Emmys back in 2012. This TV show is essentially a play-by-play breakdown of UFC fights. The fighters can talk about what was going through their minds as they duked it out in the cage. It's pretty cool if you're into that kind of thing. I had to do a lot of research to figure out a few things about the culture.
For this piece, I pulled inspiration from two pieces: the opening sequence of Breaking Pointe and the opening sequence for The Contender. With these two in mind, I've been crafting this. Keep in mind that it isn't finished yet.
