Jake Scott from Ridley Scott Associates (RSA Films) worked with The Mill to produce an emotional connection between players and spectators for EA Sports. In “Push” rival Madden NFL players in an epic face off are joined by sideline officials, stadium staff and thousands of supporters. In “Joy”, players from many sports codes embrace their supporters to the tune of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.
