Creating this show package required an incredible attention to detail in order to design and display archival materials in an authentic way. It was very important to capture the nostalgic feeling of watching wrestling on a CRT tube television.
We accomplished this through a complex pipeline that played with framerates, conversions, shutter speeds and focal distances with only minimal post effects. Almost everything was captured or recaptured through practical and analog methods which gives the product a tactile feeling that would not be possible otherwise. It is truely a unique look that is perfect for the subject matter.
