“Worlds Collide”

Latest project finally finished! This one in particular took the crew around the world and back. Literally, to Stary Oskol Russia. Tim Mantoani was working on an assignment photographing the cover athletes for the new EA Sports MMA game. First we stopped in Las Vegas and worked withRandy Couture. Then headed to Moscow where we jumped a train for twelve hours to Stay Oskol. Fedor Emelienenko was Tim’s subject. The trip was quite amazing. Editing was challenging. Fortunately I had access to Tim’s photography. Spent a solid 7 days working this edit out. A few moments Tim and I actually found ourselves having fun creating the motion illustrations with his images.

Then Christopher Hoffee was called in to score the soundtrack. The art director Larry Baltutis secured the “Voice of EA Sports”, Mr. Andrew Anthony for voice over. Breaks down like this, we had an incredible assignment, and an incredible team, from the assistants and producers on the ground in Russia and the US. Working with Tim Mantoani’s images and Chris Hoffee’s music score was a real treat.
