This is a little viral we made with Creative Spark. It was conceived to subtly promote Manchester United Soccer Schools, and yes, of course it’s fake. Filmed with an army of very helpful volunteers (a big thanks to all the parents and kids), the action all took place in one take. Well, one take after about 30 attempts. It eventually took two directors, a lot of shouting and a bit of luck to get the sequence we needed.
Thankfully at the end of the shot our little hero perfectly kicks a non-existent football a very long way. (The football was then added using Maya and Fusion). The result is hopefully a good bit of fun.
The viral was viewed over 3000 times in it’s first week, which is pretty good going, a big thanks to Push On and @leeborrett for giving the film a nudge in the right direction.
