CREATIVE BUBBLE AWARDED SPORTS EMMY
|
| May 9, 2007 |
The
honor represents editor Chris Reinhart's second Emmy win and third Emmy
nomination. This was VFX artist Miguel Oldenburg's first
Emmy win and fourth Emmy nomination. The ESPN open tied for the win in the
Outstanding Open/Tease category with the NBA Finals. Other finalists included
projects relating to the Masters Open,
The AFC Championship, The Super Bowl and The Winter Olympics.
Reinhart
notes that they were limited to three minutes for the open - only half the time
of the HD Olympics submission. For the
Indy 500 open, Creative Bubble took a retrospective look into the past of the
racing tradition - going as far back as 1911 for the inaugural
event - while providing a mini biopic for favorites Al Unser
Jr., the Andretti family and Danica Patrick. Narration by Kiefer Sutherland
added to the drama.
"ESPN
came to us with a need to present an open that would pump everyone
up for the race," explains Oldenburg. "The theme we came up with showcased each
of the key racers looking back, through the actual trophy, at great moments in
their career."
Creative
Bubble used Autodesk Flame and Avid Symphony to complete the project, which can
