Washington Commanders: Making The Mascot

We’re very excited to share our ninth collaboration (!) with the Washington Commanders.

Shot in documentary style over a few months, our creative agency directed the internal Washington Commanders content team on what would help create a compelling and detailed glimpse into the creation of their official mascot, Major Tuddy. We captured interactions with players from the past and present, fans, the club’s president, as well as Tuddy on the pitch for his reveal, including celebrations with the players after a touchdown.   Of major importance was to shoot the making of Major Tuddy’s mascot outfit by Bam Mascots in Toronto, Canada.

Our long-time relationship with Coach brought us to this new film for their associated non-profit agency, the Coach Foundation to help highlight the significant progress they’ve made in unlocking the dreams of 5,000 young people through scholarships. Our film would also serve as inspiration to encourage Coach employees to participate in the mentorship program, helping under represented youth with opportunities not regularly available to them. We created a touching and authentic film that highlights the impact the Coach Foundation is having on young people around the world. Utilizing raw, self-filmed personal messages alongside a subtle, yet eye-catching visual aesthetic our film is a true celebration of the amazing work the Coach Foundation is doing for young people that deserve a chance.
