LA Galaxy: Galaxy Rise
March 15, 2023 by Jack in 0 Comments

Continuing our partnership with LA Galaxy, we were excited to develop the premiere episode of their monthly Apple TV series, “Galaxy Rise.”  This series focuses on enriching the local LA community, promoting inclusivity in sports, and fostering open dialogues for everyone. For the Galaxy Rise project the idea was for us to create the first episode and set the standard of the show in terms of look, feel and vibe and then hand off all created assets to the LA Galaxy internal video team to create the remainder of the episodes for the season.   RIOT’s creative team utilized a rich array of clips, featuring influential speakers and community interviews, to craft an episode that resonates with all viewers, particularly the younger, more impressionable audience who can be the real change-makers. Maintaining the visual style from our other LA Galaxy collaboration “The Future is Now” and the opening trailers, we incorporated our distinctive full-screen text animations and dynamic motion graphics. This approach not only ensured stylistic consistency but also heightened the narrative’s energy and impact. Experience the entire episode in the player above and browse through some of the exceptional graphics in the gallery below. Close

LA Galaxy: 2023 Season Opener Trailer
February 23, 2023 by Jack in 0 Comments

LA Galaxy approached us to create a season-opening trailer to build up hype for their first game of the 2023 MLS season with long-time derby rivals LAFC. Our trailer is the first introduction to LA Galaxy fans for the upcoming season and it’s a rowdy one! As with most derby matches, there’s a lot of rivalry weight riding on the game and we really dialed into this to build up hype for the 2023 season’s first Los Angeles Derby. LA Galaxy left their last game with LAFC feeling robbed and our trailer really sets the scene for what is likely to be a successful victory. We set the tone for the game with a heavily emotional song, slick motion graphics, and appropriate lyrics that narrate the two teams’ history perfectly with lines like “No matter what opposition you bring…” and  “we ain’t got no fear.” RIOT creative agency made the decision early on in the creative process that we would open with one goal and that would be the only one we showcased. After that we created viewer emotion and hype through high-energy clips of the derby rivalry, moments of celebration – of course from many, many LA Galaxy goals, […]

LA Galaxy: The Future Is Now
February 13, 2023 by Jack in 0 Comments

Our first collaboration with LA Galaxy saw us diving deep into the history and archives of the club with the mammoth task of creating a historical journey into LA Galaxy as a team, the results of which are being featured on the MLS official Apple TV channel. With a super tight deadline, we got to work by researching, reading, watching, and ingesting all the content we could to understand what makes LA Galaxy the team it is. Over the course of three days, we downloaded and consumed an entire legacy in a seemingly impossible timeframe. The shining light throughout the footage we saw in the archives and the stories we read online was the energy and loyalty of the fans. As such, we wanted to ensure “The Future Is Now” reflects the fans as a shining light by highlighting them and respecting the importance they play in the club’s legacy. We wanted to tell a rich team story that was as deep and historical as possible. We covered everything from the first-ever game at the iconic Rose Bowl stadium in the 90s, their first legend Cobi Jones, the milestone of British soccer legend David Beckham signing with the team that […]

January 27, 2023 by Jack in 0 Comments

We’re very excited to share our ninth collaboration (!) with the Washington Commanders. Our “Making The Mascot” film is a longer form follow-up to the recently released Major Tuddy mascot teaser that was shared across a variety of media channels including social media and in stadium prior to Major Tuddy’s official reveal. 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. During this capture we were able to highlight initial prototypes and illustrations all the way through to interviews with the hands-on craftspeople. The materials, drawings, and details were all included to show Major Tuddy’s creation in a variety of stages to help fans visually understand all the details that went into the making of Major Tuddy.
