ONE ON ONE
A series of unscripted conversations between Nike’s elite athletes about the future of sport.
︎︎︎ OVERVIEW:
Japan had a fantastic performance in the Olympic Games, ranking third overall in the medal table, and saw a few athletes becoming instant legends. Nike wanted to leverage the momentum and excitement around these athletes and develop a series of contents to inspire the Japanese audience with real stories.
“One on One” is a series of unscripted conversations between athletes where they talk about their stories, experiences and learnings after competing in the big stage. Knowing that the access to athletes would be limited, we decided to turn these conversations into a series of animated films.
