Combining football and fight sports, two strong areas for SPORTbible.
Summary
Produced an 8 minute short documentary film about undefeated Muay Thai fighter, Jake Peacock who, was born with only one fully developed arm; and is the son of ex-Chelsea footballer, Gavin Peacock. Published across SPORTbible’s social platforms including: Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.
Mission
Deliver a compelling and original story that hadn’t previously been covered by mainstream media, combining “football and fight sports, two strong areas for SPORTbible”.
Outcome
“The interview itself was of a high standard, and Jake was willing to discuss difficult topics candidly. I also thought the dressing room access at the end of the piece was the perfect payoff.”
“Hiring an expert in a field meant the subject has trust in the production.”
“Hiring someone who knew the different organisations well meant we could rely on a lot of b-roll, making for a fast-paced edit.”
“Hiring someone who owned the whole production process meant troubleshooting and feedback was much simpler and more direct.” - Neil Welch, Senior Video Lead at SPORTbible.
“I wish people would say that I'm a good fighter because I'm a good fighter, not a good one-handed fighter.”
“You know what I mean?”
“I'm a fighter. I got one hand, but I'm a fighter.”
