Creative Execution:
ONLINE CO-CREATION: Youth across the country were invited via Facebook, Twitter, instagram, nikecricket.in to send in their action images in any playing position. But each image was prefixed with a key frame posted online. And thousands of action images, in these split second frames, were uploaded online by cricket crazy athletes across cities, towns and even villages via mobile phone cameras, gopros, webcams and procams.
ON GROUND CO-CREATION: The same action sequence was also activated across several playgrounds by 108 travelling photographers who camped on thousands of playgrounds to capture the same seamless action across small towns in rural India.


ONE JOURNEY IS WORTH A THOUSAND YARDS ON TV, MOBILE, SOCIAL & THE CRICKET CRAZY NETWORK.

CRICKET CRAZY CONTENT: 225001 STILL IMAGES WERE CROWD SOURCED ONLINE AND ONGROUND FROM 9 BIG CITIES, OVER 200 SMALL TOWNS AND VILLAGES ACROSS INDIA. IN THE FINAL CUT, 1440 seamless action images, captured by both Cricket Crazy Youth and the 108 photographers, were chosen and stitched together to complete one action of the journey of one ball from bowler to batsman to fielder to keeper.

VOTED INDIA'S BIGGEST EVER CROWD SOURCED CAMPAIGN THAT AVERAGED OVER 2.5 MILLION IMPRESSIONS DURING THE ONLINE CAMPAIGN PERIOD.
