NBA Tip-Off 2025-26

For this job, I was hired to art direct the Jalen Brunson/New York Knicks portion. Going in, I knew that this was going to be cut together with other footage, and we’d likely only see quick portions of what we shot. Nonetheless, I did my due diligence to ensure everything looked as good as possible. We shot at a smaller arena in Atlantic City, so my job was to sell it as Madison Square Garden. From printing and applying Knicks logos to the backgrounds, sourcing an orange runner and backstage equipment cases, to creating credentials and providing cameras with flashes for the background extras. I had a good time on this shoot, and was happy with how everything turned out.
