Challenge
Support the Nationals' season launch with a full slate of broadcast spots — twelve commercials — without flattening the cinematic quality across so many deliverables, and inside a tight shoot window.
Approach
Thirty days of pre-production set up an efficient two-day shoot for all twelve spots. The package ran cinema cameras with cine zooms on a dolly and crane, plus a MoviPro gimbal with a wireless mimic system for remote moves thirty feet in the air, with wireless monitoring and focus — supported by two set builders, two carpenters, and a two-person wardrobe / makeup / craft-services team.
Outcome
All twelve commercials were delivered under budget and in time for the season launch — a case study in pre-production discipline turning a demanding volume into efficient, high-quality output.
Talent-forward matchday content with real access — the kind of shoot where you’re reading the room as much as the light, and you keep the energy up between setups.
Editorial polish on a fast turnaround, cut for social and in-venue screens.
