UEFA and Disney: Playmakers by Eyebolls
- Location:
Scottish creative production studio Eyebolls has produced the launch film for UEFA and Disney’s new initiative, Playmakers.
Working closely with creative agency Frame, the studio produced both the live action and animation aspects of the film, which promotes the radical European-wide grassroots programme and is inspired by Disney films and characters.
The initiative – which targets girls aged five to eight to increase participation in women’s and girl’s football – launches with a film that sees a group of young girls taking part in a Playmakers session. Featuring voiceovers of why they choose to play football, the children’s actions are enhanced with added animations such as stars, lightning bolts, and trails of smoke as they learn football through play and storytelling.
