Midway Games’ NBA Ballers: Chosen One provided Sleepwalker members a unique departure from linear storytelling with the opportunity to explore dramatic player entrances in the style of a flashy music video.  The Promo was the first of several “lifestyle” player entrances, each highlighting a  lavish, “high-life” introduction, such as the player arriving to a high-rise penthouse basketball court via private helicopter.  Previs was used extensively to experiment with flashy cuts and speed changes all happening to the beat of the music to make the world revolve around these larger than life basketball stars. 

The project was completed on a tight deadline and budget by up-rezzing in-game characters and environments for these pre-rendered scenes.
