The collaboration between Scholar and MLB resulted in a captivating showcase of the new MLB Play App. This fantasy baseball app allows you to play with friends and, if you're lucky enough, win real MLB prizes.

The story aimed to capture the essence of the app while using visually engaging elements. The iconic silhouetted batter was brought to life through motion-capture animation, immersing viewers in a digital world where the ball flies through the app's interface. The use of silhouette lighting enhanced the atmosphere and mood, keeping the batter's identity and team unknown. Neon lighting added a visually striking element to scenes, drawing the viewer's attention. Overall, the collaboration successfully highlighted the app's features in an exciting and fun way.

I was fortunate enough to collaborate on this project and work on a few select shots alongside a roster of some of the most talented designers and animators.
