Syncbox Post Brings Dynamic Soundtrack to T20 World Cup Opening Sequence

Syncbox Post and Bolder Creative have combined to produce a 30 second opening title sequence for the T20 Cricket World Cup.

With viewership in excess of 100 million, the Cricket World Cup T20 2016 tournament, set in India, is one of the biggest sports events in recent years.

The main title sequence sets the T20 in a world where the players are cast as superheroes and their entrance, via comets travelled from around the globe, is used as a metaphor for the competing teams' arrival at the tournament. Once these comets have crashed inside the stadium, the hero characters are formed from organic generative particles.

Three key players from the T20 tournament - Chris Gayle, Lasith Malinga and MS Dhoni - are clad in sci-fi organic mecha suits of armour which ‘power up’ before they release their energy. The sequence then showcases key iconic action shots from T20, set in a futuristic stadium to bespoke sounds effects and audio track. The electrifying and illuminating sequence finally resolves to a custom made logo.

Beautifully produced by Bolder Creative in Brighton, the sound track and Sound Design, produced by Syncbox, compliment the futuristic feel and help to explode the sequence for the opening of the World Cup.

The sound design produces accelerating power shots and dynamic hot and cold moments, which power up the already explosive music track, culminating in a tense choral crescendo over the Cricket Live Logo.
