ESPN Celebration Bowl Trophy

The Location

The shoot took place at ESPN's office in Sandy Springs, Georgia, where Air Force Reserve personnel arrived to pick up the Celebration Bowl trophy before delivering it to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the Celebration Bowl is held every year. Sandy Springs is a business hub just north of Atlanta, home to many corporate offices. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is home to the Atlanta Falcons and hosts many other major events throughout the year.

About the Project

This project was one of the first jobs for The Georgia Drone, picked up at the last second after another local videographer was unable to do it. ESPN needed a short promo video for the Celebration Bowl, the college football game held every year at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. We captured members of the Air Force Reserve arriving at ESPN's office, packing up the Celebration Bowl trophy, and loading it into their van for the trip to the stadium. Behind-the-scenes footage like this gives a broadcast partner extra content to use for promotion leading up to a major event.

Why They Needed It

ESPN wanted a short promo video showing a branch of the U.S. military picking up the Celebration Bowl trophy and delivering it to Mercedes-Benz Stadium ahead of the game. The shoot came together at the last minute after another videographer was unable to do it, and we stepped in to help. A short video like this helps build excitement and create awareness for the event before it airs on national television.
