With the face(s) of tennis changing, our mission was to usher the sport into the future.
We filmed the entire commercial on Mel’s virtual stage, treating the setting like a stadium - its screens standing in for rows of seating, the stage floor acting as the court. The virtual stage served both an immersive role as well as a conceptual one.
