This is a shortened "before-and-after" version showing some of the highlights from the original opening video commemorating the start of the 2016 season of the Nippon Ham Fighters baseball team. The main video was part of a larger marketing campaign that included multiple TV commercials, that featured super star players like Shohei Ohtani, now arguably the sport's best player ever in the world. After every other agency/design studio in the prefecture rejected the project, I worked together with my preferred Hollywood-level 3DCG and VFX teams in Nepal, Thailand, and India to successfully deliver all media on-time and within the limited budgets.
