DARK SIDE OF THE RING
Show package for the most watched series in VICELAND history
Dark Side of the Ring goes looking for the truth where fantasy and reality blur in professional wrestling: mysterious deaths, mistreatment rumours and the controversies outside the ring. Six episodes, endorsed by The Rock, and the most watched series the channel ever aired.
I designed the show package. The brief was authenticity: archival material had to feel archival, and the whole thing had to feel like watching wrestling on a CRT tube television.

I got there with a practical pipeline rather than filters. Framerates, conversions, shutter speeds and focal distances were pushed around in camera, and almost everything was captured or recaptured through analog methods. Minimal post. The result has a tactile grain you cannot fake.
