DraftKings - PLAY

In mid-July 2017, we kicked off production for the "PLAY" campaign for DraftKings, a football campaign that relied on beautiful black and white footage and photographs, and graphic titles to get fans excited about the upcoming season and encourage them to play DraftKings for a chance to win $1 Billion. After a two-day shoot, we kicked off post-production at Whitehouse Post and Steelhead NY to turn around eight :30 spots for TV and web, and one :60 anthem, with the first spots rolling out the door by early August.
