Filming Pro Evolution Soccer at the Brasil Game Show
Catherine Balston • Nov 05, 2019
The largest games fair in Latin America gathered thousands of fans, esports champions and the biggest brands in the business in São Paulo last month. A Story Productions crew was there to film the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) semi-finals for New York agency OS Studios.
Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and PlayStation were some of the big brands drawing big crowds at the Brasil Game Show
(BGS) last month. But over at the Xbox stand, an atmosphere of tense concentration was gripping gamers’ attention as four teams were battling it out to win the semi-finals of the Konami Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) semi-finals. The winners will be heading to Florida in December to play in the ICC Futures Tournament – the premier soccer tournament for young players in the US.
New York-based OS Studios
, consultants and content producers in the world of gaming and esports, hired Story Productions to film the PES semi-finals at BGS. We’ve sent Story crew to Ubisoft gaming tournaments
earlier this year and in 2017, and understand the challenge of capturing the tension and emotion of esports tournaments when most of the action is limited to a screen.
Story Productions supplied a lean crew of just two; a camera/sound operator and director/producer who spent the day filming the tournament. B-roll footage from around the fair, fans glued to the PES tournament, close-ups of the players, tournament branding and the moment of victory are all part of the footage that we delivered to OS Studios. The material will be cut down to make a promo to generate buzz for the upcoming tournament in Florida. Watch this space for the finished reel coming later this month.
