I’ve always been a big fan of wrestling hype packages. Aired prior to the show, they allow new fans to get caught up on what’s going on and old fans to get hyped up for the match-up. Theatrical and exciting, filmed during the 2020 global pandemic, this package showcases the history and what led to Lee Moriarty vs MV Young. I utilized a cinematic color grade and copious amounts of time-remapped editing to build tension and get the audience hyped.
