PRODUCTION
Motivo partnered with Mirandum Pictures to bring Artgrid's vision to life. We began by creating mood boards and visual references to lock in the and feel of each collection. Then we cast authentic talent, from a cabin-dwelling couple to a father-and-son baseball duo, and secured cinematic locations, including a professional stadium and bustling city streets.
With the cast and locations in place, our team executed four shoot days with precision: one day dedicated to each collection. From directing performances to capturing dynamic cinematography, every detail was designed to maximize authenticity and efficiency. Finally, we optimized and delivered fully packaged footage for Artgrid’s library, complete with ready-to-download assets for creators worldwide.
Even when filming stock footage, it’s always important to have a story-based approach. The below reference treatment scripts show how we brought the Professional Baseball narrative to life, guiding the scenes we created in each of the clips. By staying focused on the story in each scene, we were able to create highly engaging and compelling footage that will captivate viewers and add value to Artgrid's library.
FATHER & SON PLAY CATCH
EXT. SMALL-TOWN BASEBALL FIELD – SUMMER AFTERNOON
Sunlight drapes across the diamond. A FATHER and his SON step onto the empty field.
They share a knowing smile. They toss the ball back and forth. Easy, familiar.
The throws grow longer, harder. A sudden dive. Laughter.
The BOY picks up a bat. The FATHER takes the mound.
The boy swings. Crack! He leaps, triumphant.
The father throws his arms up in celebration.
The boy looks around the stadium, imagining the greats. So many hits, so many saves, so much drama.
As the boy lifts his bat again, the sound of the game echoes beyond this field linking generations, binding us to the rhythm of America’s pastime.
ATHLETES PLAY BASEBALL
EXT. PROFESSIONAL STADIUM – DAY
The PLAYERS surge out of the dugout. Cheers rise.
They take their positions with practiced ease. An OUTFIELDER arcs a throw to first base. First base zips it to the catcher. The CATCHER pops up, fires to the pitcher. A batter warms in the on-deck circle.
ON THE MOUND
The PITCHER grips the ball behind him. He leans forward. Focused.
The BATTER digs in. The catcher signals.
The pitcher nods. Winds up. Fires!
The game explodes into action — Swings. Misses. Hits.
The ball soars. An outfielder dives. A runner slides into second. Chaos. Precision. Momentum.
DUGOUT
The team leaps to their feet, rushes the mound. Caps tipped to the sky, haloed in golden light. Champions of a cherished American pastime.
RESULT
In just four days, Motivo produced four complete cinematic collections for Artgrid — totaling over 120 clips spanning lifestyle, sports, and urban themes.
