Cut entirely from season footage with no original shoot — broadcast, program, and social sources assembled into one timeline. The structure follows a hero’s return: the preseason hype, the crash, the comeback. The first decision was to tell it in that order and let the NIU loss sit as the low point rather than skipping past it, because the recognizable shape of the story is what makes it land. The second was where the VFX animation goes. The social-post beats — the tweets and headlines counting the team out — are animated to pull attention right after the low, and the animation is placed at those turns rather than spread across the film. Overdone, VFX looks cheap; placed intentionally, it holds the piece together. The third decision was timing: build the whole edit around a moment millions were already watching, so the film rode the CFP’s attention instead of competing with it.
