Edited Videos Success Stories OneTeam Partners Creating a high-end experience in a challenging environment Published: June 7, 2021 Meet OneTeam Partners OneTeam Partners is a conglomerate of renowned professional sports players’ associations, backed by founding partners NFLPA, MLBPA and RedBird Capital. Their mission is to help sports brands and athletes maximize their value through off-field activities and content opportunities. Teaming up with toldright OneTeam Partners needed help telling LG’s, Dallas Cowboys’s and Nebraska Furniture store’s stories in an impactful way that would build brand affinity. The 5-part home makeover series that would feature Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had to be highly engaging and professionally edited for their clients’ sports marketing campaigns. OneTeam’s secondary objective was to seek out a flexible video resource that could efficiently and safely execute video production during COVID-19, as well as adapt to shifting delivery times—all of which were already a foundational part of toldright’s production model. Facing unexpected hurdles Social distancing measures coupled with ongoing schedule and timeline changes posed significant challenges for everyone involved. Delivery had also been pushed up a month, reducing the amount of time for production. Despite these setbacks, toldright’s nimble production model and agile team were quick to adjust to ensure the project got completed on time and at the level of quality expected. Technical production in a global pandemic On-set production had to meet OneTeam’s COVID-19 compliance rules. This included limiting crew members to 2 camera people, wearing masks and other PPE, as well as daily temperature checks. Video projects of this scale typically require a robust camera crew to execute, but the toldright team displayed a high degree of agility and creativity by directing part of the shoot safely over Zoom and hiring creative experts who had network-quality experience filming behind-the-scenes content with athletes.
