In the Tennis sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Special Effects delivers measurable results that transform how tennis professionals communicate with their audience.
Tennis video production presents a unique geometric challenge: the camera must track a small yellow ball traveling at up to 250 km/h across a precisely defined rectangular court, while simultaneously capturing the athlete's technique, footwork, and emotional reactions. The standard broadcast setup uses 8-12 cameras including a spider cam overhead, a slow-motion super-camera on the service line, and net-level micro-cameras. For coaching and academy content, the emphasis shifts to technique analysis — frame-by-frame serve breakdowns, stroke mechanics overlays, and movement pattern heat maps generated from video data. Tournament promotion videos for events like Roland-Garros or the Monte-Carlo Masters require capturing the venue's prestige alongside the athletic action. Player-generated social content (practice sessions, travel vlogs, fan interactions) is increasingly central to tennis marketing. Budgets range from 2,000 euros for a club promotional film to 100,000+ euros for tournament broadcast packages.
Sports fans consume 3x more video content than any other audience segment. 78% of sponsors now require professional highlight packages as part of partnership agreements. The challenge is capturing fast-paced, unpredictable action with broadcast-quality results.
Multi-camera coverage, slow-motion replay, and real-time graphics require specialized equipment and expertise. Each sport has unique filming requirements — from the wide aerial shots needed for football to the tight close-ups essential for boxing.
The rise of social media has created demand for immediate content delivery: highlights within minutes, not hours, of the final whistle.
A Ligue 1 club implemented a full-season video strategy with match highlights, behind-the-scenes access, and player profiles. Social media engagement increased 285% and merchandise sales rose 34% driven by emotional video content.
A major city marathon used drone coverage and multi-camera setups at key points. The recap video reached 5M views and sponsor visibility metrics exceeded targets by 180%.
Professional sports video delivers massive engagement: slow-motion replays generate 4x more shares than standard footage, and behind-the-scenes content drives 67% higher fan loyalty scores.
For sports organizations, video content directly drives revenue through sponsorship activation, ticket sales, and merchandise. Clubs with strong video presence report 40% higher commercial revenue from digital channels.

Special effects cover the broad category of visual enhancements that alter reality in your footage — explosions, fire, rain, snow, smoke, electrical arcs, and environmental destruction. We use a combination of stock element compositing, Houdini simulations, and After Effects particle systems depending on the scale and budget. Each effect is color-matched, shadow-integrated, and motion-tracked to your plate. This service differs from compositing (which is assembly) in that we generate the effects themselves. A single VFX shot takes 2-5 days; we recommend sending us a shot list early so we can plan the pipeline and batch similar effects together.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
