Derek Cianfrance of @radical.media directed this insider’s perspective on football, a follow-up to his in-depth look at the game of baseball depicted in the Dick’s Sporting Goods’ spot “Every Pitch.”
The subtle nuances and intricacies that go into football are chronicled as we see two teams on the field, players interacting with each other–as well as with their coaches on the sideline–in preparation for the next play. The strategy, heart, thought and emotion that goes into a single play provide a new appreciation for action on the gridiron–as if we were right there with the players.
