The Making Of is an immersive long-form documentary series in which sports superstars share the inside story of the moments that made them icons – the pivotal matches/fights/races that transformed their careers. So far, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, José Mourinho, Anthony Joshua, Marc Márquez, Gennadiy Golovkin and Canelo Álvarez have told their unique stories, with three episodes dedicated to each athlete.
Inspired by the intimate interview style of legendary documentary filmmaker Errol Morris, the athletes were interviewed using an Interrotron so it feels like they are directly addressing the audience as they recount their memories of these historic moments. To give the impression that each athlete is taking the viewer inside their dreams, an ethereal world with giant projected moving images was created in which the star could re-live the historic moments that made their career.
