In this idea, we show the journey that Sports Corner has taken with its fan base here in Qatar through a sentence expressed by a football that goes, from one goal to the other. Our hero’s start off as a crawling toddler, intrigued by a ball on one side of the layout. The hero continues to move with the ball, through a stroboscopic effect, growing older until the hero achieves his or her desired move at the other side of the pitch as a professional athlete.Production : All hero cast were suspended in the air to achieve optimum positions that best displayed our hero’s achieving their goals. Background was all CGI. Babies were real.
